Keith Richards Admits He Snorted The Ashes Of His Father

Wed, 04 Apr 2007 05:23:11 +1000

Keith Richards has confirmed what was previously thought to be a another item in the long list of Richards myths - that he snorted the ashes of his father.

The admission will be published in this week's edition of British music rag 'NME', with a spokeswoman for the magazine claiming that it is not a late April Fool's joke.

"The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father," Richards is quoted as saying.

"He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow (cocaine). My dad wouldn't have cared. It went down pretty well and I'm still alive."

Bert Richards died in 2002 at the age of 84.
