Rolling Stones' Keith Richards Admits Snorting Father's Ashes Mixed with Cocaine
By Ray McDonald
04 April 2007

Keith Richards says he once snorted his father's ashes mixed with cocaine. Speaking to the British music magazine "NME," the 63-year-old Rolling Stones guitarist acknowledges ingesting his father's cremated remains.

"My dad wouldn't have cared," he said, "it went down pretty well, and I'm still alive." Richards' father, Bert, died at age 84 in 2002.

The famously hard-living Richards told NME that his survival was the result of luck, and he cautioned young musicians not to emulate him.

"I was number one on the 'who's likely to die' list for 10 years," he said. "I mean, I was really disappointed when I fell off the list."

Rolling Stone guitarist Keith Richards has said the comments he made during a magazine interview concerning snorting his father’s ashes mixed in his cocaine were meant as a joke.

Rolling Stones representative Bernard Doherty, of LD Communications, issued a statement on behalf of Richards saying the comment was “an off-the-cuff remark, a joke, and it is not true.” Doherty further states the comment should be considered an “April Fool's joke.”

Doherty and Richards have not mentioned why the rocker felt the need to make the comment in the first place. The interview, which appears in the music magazine NME, became a hot topic on the Internet and in the media on Tuesday.

In the interview, Richards, 63, is quoted as saying: “The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father.” The performer further states: “He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared ... It went down pretty well, and I'm still alive.”

Richards also comments on several modern rock acts and refers to them as crap, posers, rubbish. He also jokes about still being alive despite making it on the 'Who's Likely To Die' list for the past ten years
