It has been confirmed that Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards will make a cameo appearance in one of the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' sequels.

NME.com reports that actor Bill Nighy told Contactmusic.com: "I can confirm Keith Richards will appear in 'Pirates of the Caribbean 2 or 3'. I'm not sure which one, because they are being filmed back-to-back."

Richards is expected to play the father of Johnny Depp's character, Captain Jack Sparrow, in the film.

Depp has stated in the past that his character in the first film was largely based on Richards' real life persona.
