It defies reason that he's still alive. I mean, it's great, but it makes no sense.

Good genetics or something.

The guy must have a body that is able to take a pounding quite well regarding drugs and alcohol.

He's renowned for his ... errr...unhealthy lifestyle.

That being a euphemism for "shooting heroin in his eyeballs and smoking his dead father's ashes..." among other things.

Music can be so... redeeming.

As if him just being alive still wasn't impressive enough... Here's a list of ten times Keith Richards could have died.

Here's a couple of my fav's:

1965 - Only a couple of years into the Stones’ five-decade career, the band almost lost one of their prime creative forces. While playing a gig in Sacramento, the group launched into “The Last Time,” and Richards approached the microphone to sing his backing part. It was facing the wrong way, so he attempted to knock it with the neck of his guitar – which resulted in a near-fatal shock. In a blue flash, Richards was knocked unconscious, his guitar strings burned from the accident. Richards later called the incident his “most spectacular” moment and credited his salvation to a new pair of boots with thick rubber soles.​

1971 - Richards and his girlfriend Anita Pallenberg almost met an untimely end during the making of 1972’s Exile on Main St. During sessions for the double LP, mostly recorded at Richards’s rented villa Nellcote in the south of France, Richards and Pallenberg were deep in the throes of heroin addiction. Richards had a penchant for passing out, sometimes with the needle still in his arm or – on this occasion – a lit cigarette in his hand. The bed went up in flames, and Richards and Pallenberg woke up just in time to escape before being burned to a crisp. It wouldn’t be the last time that Richards played with fire.​

1998 - To think that after all the drugs and careless living, Richards was almost undone by a bunch of heavy books. He has recounted the tale many times: He was in his home library, standing on a chair to reach a book about Leonardo da Vinci’s study of anatomy when he slipped. Many tomes came pouring down on top of him. The accident resulted in three broken ribs for Richards and a tour postponement for his band. “It was one of those moments where you have to make a decision: take it in the ribs or take a shot in the temple on the desk,” he remembered. “All part of life’s rich pageant.”

Yeah, and besides not dying from the drug and alcohol abuse, he still apparently has a sharp enough mind to enjoy having a private library and muse over the great works of Leonardo Da Vinci, lol.

Well, statistically speaking, it's not impossible that you could pound that much smack and still outlive half the rock and roll hall of fame... But if there's anything that makes me wonder if the devil actually is offering deals, this is it.

I suspect he's technically been dead for years, he just effectively embalmed himself while still alive and it's taking a while to wear off.
