Richards said of their June dates: Depending on the weather! It will be great, Im sure.

I mean, we started there, and they will probably be our most critical audience.

Playing your home town makes you nervous!

Alongside singer Mick Jagger, guitarist Ronnie Wood and drummer Charlie Watts, Richards will take to the stage on two dates in Stratford and Twickenham next month.
