Keith Richards will star in the third Pirates Of The Caribbean film, it has been confirmed.

The Rolling Stones legend was scheduled to appear in the imminent second instalment of the movie series, as the father of Johnny Depp's character Captain Jack Sparrow.

However, filming for Dead Man's Chest went ahead without him as the Stones took their Bigger Bang tour around the world.

At a press gathering for the new movie this weekend in Beverly Hills, it was confirmed by producer Jerry Bruckheimer and writer Ted Elliot that Richards will star in the third movie, At World's End.

Bruckheimer, joking about the recent fall from a coconut tree in Fiji was saw Keith undergo brain surgery, said: "I think we worked out some dates, as long as he doesn't fall out of any more trees."

Meanwhile, Elliot commented: "Keith Richards was never intended to be in Pirates II. He is supposed to be in III. Johnny wanted him in but there was just no room in the story in II. But there is in III. According to the press, he's in he's out he's in he's out, I honestly think people made that up."

I'm looking forward to it, considering Depp (probably one of the best actors in the world-he pulls of a grate performance in Ed Wood, probably his most underrated film) based the character on Keef, because "pirates were like the rockstars of their day, and whose the greatest rockstar in the world? Its Keith Richards".

Wasn't Depp in a VH tribute band when he was younger?

Don't know whether or not Keith is a pirate, but don't you dare try to take over his stage.....
