Topic: Keith Richards Admits He Did Snort His Dad's Ashes

In a new interview, Rolling Stones wildman Keith Richards has revealed that he did in fact snort his Dad’s ashes despite previous denials.

The guitarist had strenuously denied the infamous story, claiming that he had been quoted out of context in the magazine interview.

But now, he’s changed his tune once again, saying that the only untrue part of the story was that he mixed the ashes with cocaine.

He said: “The cocaine bit was rubbish. I said I chopped him up like cocaine, not with. I'd opened his box up and said, 'Jesus, I've got to do something with dad, y'know, plant the oak tree.'

"I pulled the lid off and out comes a bit of dad on the dining room table. I'm going, 'I can't use the brush and dustpan for this'. So you just gotta like, put it together.

"What I found out is that ingesting your ancestors is a very respectable way of... y'know, he went down a treat."

...this is old news...but still gruesome.

It can't be as bad as some other things he's had in his body.  Ozzy snorted a line of ants!

Ashes are nothing new to Mick and Keith - fans have already requested that their ashes
be thrown on stage at a Stones concert - friends get front row seats and toss them up!

Angela - glad to hear there are other Stones fans on the forum - Let It Bleed is one of
my favorites too.  I can't wait till their tour comes back to the states!

Re: Keith Richards Admits He Did Snort His Dad's Ashes

I dont want to come across as "mr morals", but I find that disturbing. I remember when Debs grandfather was creamated and his urn was on the mantle, it took a year for her mom to take it to the family plot. Nuf of my serious stuff, I'll go crazy if I take myself that way

Junkies.  Addicts.  Heathens.  Satanic Majesties.  Perverts.  Deviates.  The original British BluesRock Band fermented in a vat of whiskey and drugs with Howling Wolf, Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson and Elmore James blaring and "nasty girls" hanging on every note.  Can I get an amen?

Hail Hail Rock & Roll.
