Jimmy Fallon is giving viewers two more reasons to lose a little sleep in honor of Bob Marley.

Last week, EW’s Music Mix announced that Late Night With Jimmy Fallon would spend this week paying tribute to Marley, with each of the week’s musical guests performing a classic cut by the reggae legend. Ziggy Marley, Chris Cornell, Jennifer Hudson, Jakob Dylan and Lenny Kravitz were already signed on for the salute (which kicks off tonight with Ziggy), and now the show has announced that Keith Richards and Lauryn Hill will both be joining in the fun.

Hill, who has had five children with Marley’s son Rohan, will be the musical guest on Thursday night’s show (May 12), when she is scheduled to perform a pair of songs in an extremely rare television appearance.

Meanwhile, Rolling Stones guitarist and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides star Richards will sit down with Fallon on Wednesday night (May 11) to chat about the movie, his recent best-selling autobiography and the current status of his seminal band.

He’s not currently scheduled to perform, but Richards has a hard time turning down opportunities to crank up his six-string, and considering his enthusiasm for reggae, it seems likely he’ll be tipping his pirate hat to Marley in some fashion.

Who are you most excited about seeing perform a Bob song on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon this week? What tracks should each artist try to tackle? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

It would be better if he played. Seems like Keith just wants to be in the spotlight some more.

Jimmy will get some Stones info.

I'm guessing his answer will be."I'm getting the boys back together real soon".

I honestly thing that at this point he is at the mercy of his arthritis and he's too proud to admit it.

Someone @ keithrichards.com better check the back story on why Jack and dear old dad have different surnames.

I almost forgot about that.

The big news flash would be if he said- Some Girls Deluxe, yes and some other stuff like it will come out.  Otherwise, we're done.

Fantastic pictures lefty!!!

Header material too...

I like this A LOT!

Only Stones mention:

Jimmy Fallon: "Will the Stones be playing this year?"

Keith Richards: "Well I'm trying to nail them down but I don't want to crucify 'em"

The bookmaker has just cleaned everyone out! 

"Rocks Off - Bringing You The News On What Keith Has Been Saying Even Before He Says It Since 1998"

Nice appearance, despite Fallon's fanboy gushing.
As advertised, Keith plugs the film and book, which is now out in paperback.

Nothing new to report with the Stones, and his recent recording is "probably" for the Winos - "it's starting to blossom."

Watch the interview here.

Bring on the Winos, I say. My hunch, for years, is that Keith just doesn't write "Stones" music anymore. ... He's all about "You Win Again," "The Nearness of You," etc. And so it's been left to Mick to do the "imitation riffs," as Keith put it in "Life."

We shall see. Still theoretical at this point.

RIP Rolling Stones 

Don't even hear the murmur of a prayer...

It's not dark yet but it's gettin' there...

Keith has become a caricature of himself. It's a joke that he accused Mick of selling out when it turns out that he's as big if not a bigger whore.

Fun interview. ("I love instilling fear in people" - LOL)

Dont think Fallon was that bad - he's a fan who gets to interview Keith. Who wouldnt be as gushing?

He may be a real Rent-a-cliche these days, but hes still funny as fuck.

doesnt want to crucify them??  He already did Mick with that stupid book.

I still enjoyed the interview--he is endearing in his way, and funny.  wouldnt he be most everyone's choice to hang with??

I get the impression that the Jimmy Fallon show is fairly lightweight, so it was befitting that Keith’s appearance had a loose, carefree feel to it. Leave the more serious interviewing to the likes of Andrew Marr.

It’s Keith Richards. I enjoyed it.

I thought he was his usual self. Charming, self deprecating Keith.
I could have done without all the Beatles/Macca questions, but Fallon can't help himself
He's one of us; a Stones lunatic. He gushes and acts all giddy just as one of us would.

Sad to say that age is showing though. It's showing on Mick too in recent pics.
IF the Band is done I refuse to believe it's because of some damned book.
It's because, imo, of the dimished ability/desire to do it anymore.

Do I want to be proven wrong?
Damn right I do.
Will I sell everything I own to get a ticket to another show?
Fuck yeah.

The candle is flickering kids. Even I have to admit it.
Then again. All our candles are flickering. That's life.

Top quality postin'

Nothing new here.  Basically a chance for Keith to sell some more books and the movie he is in and  also a chance for Fallon to interview one of his favorite rock stars.

I did love Keith's quote when asked if the Stones would tour again. - One liners..his speciality!

Haven't been around the board for a while (my happy birthdays to all I missed here boys and girls) but Keith's appearance in that TV show lured me back in

Can we all take one deep breath and relax a little? Sometimes it feels like we're acting as if we own Keith and the Stones, as if we have cameras following them and know or expect their every move. Do we know whether Keith has already worked on Stones songs? Or is it forbidden that he or Mick or any of the Stones should work on other projects? Are we there to know whether he has tried contacting them or not, and whether working with e.g. the Winos is a little easier, with less logistics involved and more fun? Charlie's got his jazz band. I think these kinds of things give them air. If anything, they're good news for the Stones as a band, not bad.

And yes, time has passed, and they're not getting any younger, and the end may very well be near.
But really, is it this important? They've given us great music to last two lifetimes - do we really need another album? What, to go over it and say "blah blah, they're not as good as they used to be, blah blah, the last good one was Bridges to Babylon" and so forth? I can just *see* this happening with all the gory detail.

I'm just greatful for the ride. And I hope they still have another tour left in them (and I believe it), just because I'd love to listen to them and see them live one more time. But I don't feel the slightest bit bitter or sad. I think they've earned the right to sit around, grow lemon trees and attend parties and awards.

Funny interview and thanks for posting. Speaking of candles flickering I'm getting so old I sat down last night to watch my DVR version of the show...only to find out I taped Jimmy Kimmel by mistake!.....thank god for Youtube.

Too many late night Jimmys! LOL

Sweet! It was a real treat to watch him, thanks for posting...

Hope we'll get to see them one more time. But then we're all greedy and we will ALWAYS say "one more time", won't we? If for nothing else than to complain about the ticket prices, the last minute cancellations, the rs.com ripp-offs, the warhorses and the fact that they don't play shows in tiny clubs.

I hope they don't give us another album because all we'll ever do is whinge it ain't another Exile.

As far as we can prove, we only ever get one life and their lives are theirs to live. We are fans and love them, but at the end of the day we can only wish and not demand. And I can honestly say I am a hell of a lot younger than the youngest of the Rolling Stones and the mere thought of a world tour would fill me with dread. I bet they are glad to just wear their slippers at 8pm and be in bed by 10. Rock'n Roll may naver die but we're all getting old, kids. So I say : "Thanks for the music, Boys!" If I get to see them one more time then that's a bonus, but I'm not holding my breath...

As to all the speculations and theories:

Love and Light to them...

Don´t forget that Charlie said in a radio show a month ago that he had been recording with Mick... does he record with Mick outside the Stones? I don´t think he plays on Mick solo stuff, so I guess it myst be Stones related. In the interview he said that the Stones was not together recording Watching the river flow for Boogie with Stu, but he was recording with Mick at the same time he did the vocals for that project???? I think it sounded quite interesting...
