London:
Rolling Stones hell-raiser Keith Richards has had plenty of colourful moments in his life, including the time when he set fire to the Playboy mansion.
The guitarist detailed the incident in his autobiography 'Life'. He was "doping" along with a group of friends and they decided to set the bathroom ablaze.
"Bobby and I played it a little far when we set fire to the bathroom. Well, we didn't, the dope did," wrote Richards in the book.
"And I'm looking at Bobby and can't see him. And the drapes are smouldering away, everything was just about to go off big-time," he added.
But the 66-year-old was not impressed with the rescueoperation by the mansion's staff.
"There was a thumping on the door, waiters and guys inblack suits bringing buckets of water. They get the door openand we're sitting on the floor, our pupils very pinned. I said, 'We could have done that ourselves. How dare you burst in on our private affair?'" wrote Richards.
