Keith Richards snorted dads ashes, but without cocaine

Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has admitted that he snorted his dads ashes, but insisted that he did not inhale it with cocaine.

London, Aug 3 : Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has admitted that he snorted his dad's ashes, but insisted that he did not inhale it with cocaine.

In April this year, the rocker made news after a magazine reported that he had revealed that he drew in the ashes during a cocaine spree.

The 63-year-old, who is penning his autobiography, said that ingesting 'ancestors is very respectful'.

"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," the Daily Express quoted him, as saying.

"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."

After his dad's death in 2002, Richards lost his mum in 2007 and he recollects that he played guitar to her sitting beside her

"I sat on the end of her bed two days before she kicked the bucket,. I brought round a guitar and sat there and played to her. She's gasping by now, she's out of there, y'know. 'Bye bye mum, see you tomorrow.'

"Next morning she wakes up and tells my secretary, who goes round to see her every day: 'Did you hear Keith play? He was a bit out of tune.' To the end, man. Acid."
