Richards, 74, who has four children and five
grandchildren himself, called band mate Jagger "a randy old
bastard" in an interview with the Wall Street Journal magazine,
released on Wednesday.
"It’s time for the snip — you can’t be a father at that age.
Those poor kids!," he said of the Rolling Stones frontman.
Jagger, 74, became a father for the eighth time in December 2016
when his dancer girlfriend Melanie Hamrick gave birth to a son
in New York.
"I deeply regret the comments I made about Mick in the WSJ which
were completely out of line. I have of course apologized to him
in person," Richards said in a Twitter statement.
Richards and Jagger, who have written most of the Rolling Stones
songs over the rock band's five-decade career, are known for
their love-hate relationship.
"It's been up and downhill, but if I'm talking about the Rolling
Stones, there ain't a frontman like Jagger," he told the WSJ
magazine in the interview for its March 10 edition. "Don't
matter how many bones you want to pick out of him, he's amazing
to work with."
