Richards had long harboured a dream to immerse himself and his loved ones in the untamed beauty of Africa. As reported in October, the rock icon was set to celebrate his 80th birthday in grand style, embarking on a lavish African adventure with his family.

A source close to the musician revealed to The Sun newspaper, “Keith isn’t afraid of wild beasts and loves seeing them roaming in the wild. It’s been a dream to do a big holiday with all his family at a luxury resort in South Africa.”

The man who has been the backbone of one of the most enduring rock bands in history, swapped his guitar for a pair of binoculars this festive season, taking in the breathtaking vistas of Africa with his family by his side. It’s a far cry from the glitzy, star-studded parties that often accompany such monumental birthdays but, for Richards, it encapsulates the essence of what he holds dear: family, adventure, and a deep appreciation for the wonders of the natural world.

Happy belated birthday Mr Richards, we hope you’re enjoying all the beauty that South Africa holds!
