Marianne Faithfull yearns for a Stone

Sixties singer Marianne Faithfull has revealed that she would have liked to have had more than a one-night stand with Rolling Stone Keith Richards.

Speaking to Harp magazine, she said that she is still desperately in love with the Stones' rhythm guitarist and wishes that she had told him how she felt when he suggested she sleep with bandmate Mick Jagger.

"My night with Keith was wonderful but it was just one night so it's a completely idealised, great f**k," said Faithfull. "We have nothing to worry about, when we see each other we're just delighted.

"I don't see all the stuff other people see. To me he's still the same, honestly. I see that beautiful 24-year-old man, and that's what I will always see.

"It was Keith's idea that I go with Mick. He thought it would be good for the band, and instead of saying: 'But I love you,' I said: 'OK.'

"I didn't really love Mick when I was first with him, I was just obeying Keith."
