Scorsese making Rolling Stones film, maybe

Martin Scorsese is reportedly making a documentary about The Rolling Stones, filming their Beacon Theatre shows, while Keith Richards describes his palm tree fall.

Martin Scorsese is reportedly making a documentary about The Rolling Stones and will film their forthcoming shows at the Beacon Theatre in New York as part of the project. It's not clear, though, if the film, if, indeed, there really is one, will be about the Stones' current tour or, rather, a rockumentary about the band's entire career (Scorsese's recent film on Bob Dylan focused on just his earlier career, of course).

Elsewhere in Stones news, Keith Richards has spoken about that palm tree incident that caused the latest Stones tour to start late. He says: "It's embarrassing, really. I was sitting on this gnarled shrub about six feet off the ground. I was wet - I'd been swimming. I hit the ground the wrong way, my head hit the trunk, and that was that. It's not the first brush with death I've had. I guess what I learnt is, don't sit in trees anymore".
