Following recent suggestions that The Rolling Stones are to reform for a 50th Anniversary tour, Keith Richards has revealed he struggles to remember the his band's classic hits.

However, fans worried about the band's future live shows shouldn't fret - as he adds that instinct takes over when he gets on stage and his fingers take over. He also revealed his attempts to familiarise himself with Stones tracks again, ahead of the band's upcoming tour.

"When you kick off a song you say, 'I can't remember how the middle bit goes', but the fingers remember even if you don't," he said in an interview with Absolute Radio. "I don't practise as much as I should, probably. But now that we're putting the act together again I'm getting the chops back together."

The band are currently in rehearsals, but are yet to confirm any official shows together.
