Keith Richards' diary is filling up quickly! After tickets went on sale for Rolling Stones London and New York shows this week amid rumours of a Glastonbury slot and future tour dates, the guitarist is also set to reprise his role in the next Pirates Of The Caribbean sequel.
Richards first appeared in the 2007 movie, Pirates Of The Caribbean: At The World's End, the third in the series and returned for Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides in 2011.
Now, busy on the promo circuit for the band's new tour dates, Richards has revealed he will be returning for the fifth installment.
"So they say, you know, I've got the costume, and I'm waiting for the heads up, but apparently there is," said Richards in an interview with Absolute Radio. "I don't know if it'll be next year that we shoot it or whatever, but as I say, you know, I got the costume and the beard and the shirt.
"Have I heard anything? No, I haven't. I haven't read a script. I haven't heard anything. With Johnny and the director Rob Marshall, it's like anything. But I don't mean movies. I consider them my friends. And I really love them and respect them."

Speaking of the Rolling Stones upcoming live shows, Richards said in a video announcement: ”Sorry to keep you all hanging around but the waiting is over. I've always said the best place for rock and roll is on the stage and the same is true for the Stones. I'm here with Mick, Charlie and Ronnie and everything is rocking. See you very soon!"
Tickets for The Rolling Stones O2 shows went on sale this morning at 9am. For more information, visit Gigwise Gig Tickets.
