Keith Richards, the iconic guitarist from the Rolling Stones, was honored with the inaugural Connecticut Governor's Award of Excellence at a ceremony in the Westport Library. Richards, who has resided in Connecticut since 1985, was recognized for his artistic achievements and philanthropy, particularly his support for organizations aiding individuals with disabilities. During the event, Governor Ned Lamont praised Richards’ contributions to the community, while the musician expressed deep gratitude for the recognition and highlighted the positive impact Connecticut has had on his family.
"You kind of get lost for words with something like this around your neck. All I gotta say is, you know, I've been here for 40 years, and it's been a great place for me."
"The family's had a great life. The kids grew up great and incredibly happy about everything."
