    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."
