Richards spotted alone

A fan spotted Keith Richards walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of January 29, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Keith back on the market?

A rep for Keith Richards was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the guitarist was splitting hit the internet Friday (January 30), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Keith’s phone number?”

“So very sad… Those 2 were so great as a couple. So cute together.”

Based on the facts (Richards spotted alone with a cute sweater), is there trouble in paradise or is it much ado about nothing?
