Orlando Bloom has suggested that Keith Richards will appear in the Pirates of the Caribbean sequels after all.

According to Contactmusic.com, Bloom revealed: "We're going to have an appearance by the great Keith Richards."

It was recently reported that it was unlikely that the Rolling Stone would accept producers' wishes and appear as Jack Sparrow's (Johnny Depp) father in the sequels due to touring commitments.

Richards reportedly said: "They're shooting while I'm touring. I'd love to do it if there was no hassle, but it would be a side trip. I know what my gig is. The idea of working for Disney gives me the shivers in the first place."
