Keith Richards Documentary 'Under the Influence' Rolls to Netflix

"Keith Richards: Under the Influence," a new documentary about the famed The Rolling Stones guitarist by Oscar-winning director Morgan Neville of "20 Feet from Stardom," is headed for Netflix on Sept. 18, it was announced Tuesday.

"If there’s a Mount Rushmore of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Keith’s face is surely on it," Neville says in a statement. "He has always represented the soul of rock music, for all of the light and dark shades that implies. To my relief, Keith Richards turned out to be a real man, full of humor, knowledge and wisdom. That’s the real Keith we’ve worked to capture in our film and I’m honored to bring it to ​a global audience via Netflix."

The film covers the people and places influencing Richards' music as he makes his first solo album in 23 years -- also to be released on the same day "Under the Influence" streams -- and features interviews with Richards and rare archival material.
