Keith Richards worried about privacy
LONDON (AP) -- A local council in southern
England said it has agreed to move a footpath
from which prying eyes could peer into the
country home of Rolling Stones guitarist Keith
Richards.
The guitarist had complained that the path,
popular with weekend walkers, ran within 10
metres of his property in West Wittering,
allowing passersby to see into the grounds.
West Sussex Council said Tuesday it has
agreed to have the path moved to the other
side of a nearby field.
"Someone well known is more vulnerable than
you or me. We are well aware of what the
paparazzi do. We are well aware of what nutters
can do," said Bill Acraman, chairman of the
council's rights of way committee.
"Whether they be prime minister or pop star,
they are more vulnerable than you or I. I
strongly feel we should be able to go the extra
mile."
Richards, 58, bought the thatched seaside
house 120 kilometres south of London as a
country retreat in 1966.
A spokesman for Richards, who is on tour in
the United States with the Rolling Stones, said
he was not available for comment Tuesday. |
