Keith Richards

Keith Richards, the Rolling Stones guitarist nearly called off a concert because of a shepherd’s pie. He is so much possessive for shepherd’s pie that he almost goes berserk if he is not served the first piece of the pie in the canteen. And this is obligatory when the band goes on a tour.

Stuart Cable, a former  Stereophonic drummer, who backed The Rolling Stones on a European tour, was taken aback when he was informed by Sir Mick Jagger, the band’s front man, for eating a piece of  shepherd’s pie before Keith was served.  Cable couldn’t believe that something grave might happen over a  portion of the mashed potato-topped treat.

“I whacked several hefty spoonfuls onto my plate. Mick Jagger came in and stopped in his tracks and the pleasantness suddenly left his face, ‘Who’s eating that?’ He said, ‘Do you know the rules? You never, ever, take the shepherd’s pie unless Keith’s broken the crust first.’ He twirled on his heels and said jokingly, ‘Enjoy the show, boys. If there will be a show. I’m not sure if he’ll go on after this.’ At least I thought it was a joke”, Stuart wrote in his new book Demons and Cocktails.

To  keep away from a catastrophe, Stuart immediately had to take the pie back to the canteen to be “re-crusted“. “Luckily, when I got to catering I knew the waitress. She took it back and shook her head slowly and muttered, ‘Don’t you know the rules?’ But she soon went to work on it and re-laid the potato topping making it as good as new, even if it was a little thinner. Major world disaster averted”, Stuart added.

But all his effort went in vain. Keith found out the truth and confronted Stuart right after the show. “Later that night we were invited to play pool with them. Suddenly Keith stopped the game in mid-stroke. The lines on his face were more prominent than normal. Then he potted the yellow, placed his cue down and wandered over to me, a joint dangling on the edge of his lips. ‘You ate my shepherd’s pie, didn’t you?’ he whispered”,  Stuart said.
