Keith Richards ‘regrets’ saying Mick Jagger had a ‘tiny todger’

Keith Richards says that “regrets” lobbing insults at his Rolling Stones bandmate Mick Jagger in his best-selling book, “Life.” In the tome, Richards had revealed that his nickname for Jagger was “Her Majesty” and had alleged that the frontman had a “tiny todger.”

“[Mick] and I have had conversations over the last year of a kind we have not had for an extremely long time and that has been incredibly important to me,” Richards says in a documentary about the band’s 50th anniversary, to be released in September. “As far as the book goes, it was my story and it was very raw, as I meant it to be, but I know that some parts of it and some of the publicity really offended Mick and I regret that.”

Jagger was most likely offended that Richards had taken a jab at the size of his genitalia in a section where Richards’ described his longtime girlfriend, Anita Pallenberg, as tiring of carrying on an affair with Jagger.

“The idea of status quo to Anita, in those days, was verboten. Everything must change. And we’re not married, we’re free, whatever. You’re free as long as you let me know what’s going on,” wrote Richards. “Anyway, she had no fun with his tiny todger. I know he’s got an enormous pair of balls, but it doesn’t quite fill the gap, does it?”

Another oft-quoted section of “Life” read, “It was the beginning of the Eighties when Mick started to become unbearable. That’s when be became Brenda, or Her Majesty, or just Madam.”

In the documentary, Jagger admits that there was significant friction between himself and Richards and also expressed that he was glad the book had given the two occasion to discuss their differences.

“Looking back at any career you are bound to recall both the highs and the lows,” said Jagger. “In the 1980s for instance Keith and I were not communicating very well. I got very involved with the business side of the Stones, mainly because I felt no one else was interested, but it’s plain now from the book that Keith felt excluded, which is a pity.”

Jagger concluded, “Time, I reckon, to move on.”
