Forever Really Does Mean Forever

It’s rare that you hear about couples getting married and staying happily married for years on end these days; it’s even more rare when you hear about a rockstar staying married to the same person!

For these 7 rockers and their lucky wives, “forever” really means “forever” – from high school love stories that led to whirlwind Vegas marriages to a chance meeting between between a rocker and supermodel set up by their mutual hairdresser, here’s a look at some of the longest – and happiest – marriages in rock and roll!

1. Keith Richards and Patti Hansen | 33 Years
