To say thatKeith Richardsleads a busy life is an understatement.
With Pallenberg, Richards has three children.
His eldest is Marlon Leon Sundeep, born in 1969 followed by his daughter Dandelion Angela in 1972.
He was only two months old.
Richards and Pallenberg would eventually split, and the guitarist went on to marry Patti Hansen in 1983.
He has two children with Hansen, daughters Theodora Dupree and Alexandra Nicole.
As a father and grandfather, Richards has nothing but good things to say about his family life.
“I love my families,” he told theExpress, adding “I have several extended.
And they all love each other.
I’m extremely blessed with my ladies who all, thank God, get along.”
Richards had met Patti Hansen by this point, so Marlon was essentially abandoned.
He didn’t mind, however, “because it was exhausting with Anita and Keith”.
“He’s definitely influenced my style,” Theodora toldDuJour.
“I think I have a stage persona because of him, for sure.
He gave me this freedom and love of clothing.”
She illustrated the book with pen and ink collages inspired by pictures from her father’s childhood.
“To be able to explore my father’s relationship with his grandfather was a gift in itself.”
The book also gave Richards' daughter a chance to reflect on how he is as a grandparent.
