===Tributes for other artists===

From the start of his career, Richards has made appearances to pay tribute to those artists with whom he has formed friendships and those who have inspired and encouraged him. After the earliest success of the band, who played [[cover song]]s of American blues artists, while he and Jagger were just beginning their own songwriting, the Rolling Stones visited the States to pay back, in his words, "that's where that fame bit comes in handy". Since that time, he has performed on many occasions to show appreciation toward them. Among these, he has appeared with [[Norah Jones]] in a tribute concert for [[Gram Parsons]] in 2006, playing guitar and singing a duet, "[[Love Hurts]]". On 12 March 2007 Richards attended the [[Rock & Roll Hall of Fame]] ceremony to induct [[the Ronettes]]; he also played guitar during the ceremony's all-star jam session.<ref name="nzentgraf"/> On 26 February 2012 Richards paid tribute to fellow musicians [[Chuck Berry]] and [[Leonard Cohen]], who were the recipients of the first annual PEN Awards for songwriting excellence at the [[John F.
