Richards Snorted "Dad's Ashes"

Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has revealed that he once snorted his dad's ashes.

He claims to have mixed the remains of his late father with cocaine before taking in the unique mix.

He told NME, "The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My dad's ashes. I snorted my father. He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow."

"My dad wouldn't have cared - he didn't give a shit. It went down pretty well and I'm still alive."

His manager told MTV News that she could not believe the claim had been taken seriously.

But NME interviewer Mark Beaumont is convinced that Richards was not joking when speaking to him about the alleged incident.
