He may have snorted bucket loads of cocaine and other narcotics, but Keith Richards has revealed the strangest item he has ever shoved up his hooter – his own father’s ashes.
The Rolling Stones guitarist made the macabre move after a drug fuelled bender, grinding up the ashes of Burt Richards from the urn and mixing it with cocaine.
He said: “The strangest thing I’ve ever tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father. He was cremated and I couldn’t resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow.
“My Dad wouldn’t have cared – he didn’t give a shit. It went down well, and I’m still alive.”
In the interview with the NME, Richards also told Pete Doherty to leave Kate Moss. Saying: “My advice for Pete Doherty is that he should shut the fuck up and leave her.
“I don’t know the man. All I know is he is pushing his luck and there it is.”
Richards also joked about him defying the doctors and living through all these years. He said: “Some doctor told me I had six months to live – and I went to his funeral.
“I was number one on the Who’s Likely To Die list for ten years. I was really disappointed when I fell off the list.”
