BEING in a band with KEITH RICHARDS is a pretty dangerous business.
ROLLING STONES saxophone player BOBBY KEYS has revealed that Keef once shot a golf ball with his gun after it landed in his eggs Benedict.
The group were staying in a hotel with its own course while touring in the Nineties, according to Bobby – who is responsible for the sax solo in Brown Sugar.
Bobby reveals in his autobiography: “When I hit my ball it hooked into the trees, ricocheted – and landed smack dab in the middle of his breakfast. So he shot it. He’s standing there on his patio with a pistol in his hand and smoke coming out of the muzzle. He was holding this smoking shell that used to be my golf ball. He said: ‘That’s a ten-stroke f****** penalty, and if you ever do it again I’ll do the same to you! You ruined my f****** breakfast!’. He was gettin’ ready to eat his eggs Benedict.”
