RICHARDS: 'I SNORTED MY DAD'

ROLLING STONES star KEITH RICHARDS has stunned fans by revealing he once snorted his father's ashes, mixed with cocaine.

KEITH RICHARDS

The 63-year-old guitarist, who has long been associated with all manner of substance abuse, has told Britain's NME his most bizarre drug-taking session came after his father BERT died in 2002.

He says, "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 accepts he should be one of rock's casualties - but luck and an amazing constitution has kept him alive.

He adds, "I've no pretensions about immortality. I'm the same as everyone... just kind of lucky. I was number one on the 'Who's likely to die' list for 10 years. I mean, I was really disappointed when I fell off the list."
