Keith Richards was so drunk at a Rolling Stones gig this week he had to be stopped from falling from the stage by Mick Jagger.

The guitarist was saved from falling 20 foot into the crowd by a clearly unimpressed Sir Mick in Helsinki on Wednesday night.

Despite Mick�s help Keith also ended up on his arse during �Honky Tonk Woman� and �She�s So Cold�, according to a report in the Sun.

Fan Paul Clark, who travelled from the UK to Finland to see the gig at the Olympic Stadium, told the paper, �Mick and Ronnie didn�t look too pleased. Mick, at one point, had to hold on to Keith to stop him falling off the stage.

�And at another point he stumbled sideways and if it wasn�t for the rail he�d have fallen 20 feet into the crowd.

�The roadies held him up while they strapped his guitar on him. His guitar work was all over the place. Mick was brilliant and he held the show together.�
