You’ll Be Surprised: The Before and After of Celebrities Who Changed Too Much

**Keith Richards – Drugs**

Keith Richards, at 81 years old, is a living rock legend with The Rolling Stones. In 2025, he’s still kicking it, despite a life marked by drugs since the ’60s. He never copped a fatal OD, but incidents like getting busted with Mick Jagger for drug possession in 1967 show the risks he took.

Considered a goddamn miracle for still being alive, Keith maintains his rep as a musical icon. All those excesses have taken a physical toll, but he’s still playing and writing tunes. His resilience is something else, and fans celebrate his contribution to rock ‘n’ roll. Richards doesn’t hide his past, but seems to have found a balance, living for the music and defying the doubters who never thought he’d last this long.
