Rolling Stones legend Keith Richards has allegedly lashed out at a Swedish journalist critical of his work by smacking him in the head.
The ace guitarist was upset by Markus Larsson's review of a Rolling Stones concert in Gothenburg, Sweden in 2007 where he gave a rating of two out of five and said it was done by "amateurs," Contactmusic reported.
Richards spent about 10 minutes chatting with the journalist at a Parisian hotel this Tuesday before remembering his review. But once he realised who Larsson was, the rocker did not waste time to "settle the disagreement."
