RICHARDS JOINS PIRATES SEQUEL AS DEPP'S FATHER

ROLLING STONES legend KEITH RICHARDS has finally agreed to appear as JOHNNY DEPP's father in the sequel to blockbuster PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL.

The wild BROWN SUGAR guitarist - who provided the inspiration for Depp's OSCAR-nominated performance - will appear as CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW's dad in PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN II.

Depp has been sweet-talking Richards for months, and his determination paid off when the 60-year-old recently guaranteed he'd be on set for four days of filming.
