Keith Richards: 'The bible is boring'

Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has said that he doesn't like the Bible because it's boring.

The veteran rocker revealed that he regularly reads the religious text to try to understand why people find it "fascinating".

He told Sun Media: "I read the Bible sometimes but it bores me to death. I just want to know what other people find so b****y fascinating.

"Why are they all hung up on all that, 'In the beginning' stuff? Ah, well. At least life is stable. It has said the same thing since I was a kid."

Richards was speaking at a promotional event for Martin Scorsese's new documentary about the legendary rock 'n' roll band Shine A Light.
