Keith Richards Snorted His Father

By grrlscientist on April 3, 2007.

Okay, as I read this story, I was laughing so hard that all my parrots stopped what they were doing and stared at me. This story proves once again that truth is stranger than fiction. Keith Richards, guitarist for the Rolling Stones, took some of his father's ashes, mixed them with cocaine and snorted them.

Keith Richards has acknowledged consuming a raft of illegal substances in his time, but this may top them all.

In comments published Tuesday, the 63-year-old Rolling Stones guitarist said he had snorted his father's ashes mixed with cocaine.

"The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father," Richards was quoted as saying by British music magazine NME.

"He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared," he said. "... It went down pretty well, and I'm still alive." [story]
