Truth to Power

Snort me up

Rolling Stone ‘snorted father’s ashes’

Rolling Stones wildman Keith Richards claims he snorted his own father’s ashes during a drugs binge.

Richards made the extraordinary admission in an interview with NME magazine.

“The strangest thing I’ve tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father,” he said.

“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 s***.

“It went down pretty well, and I’m still alive.”

Richards’ father, Bert, died in 2002 aged 84. </em>

What a freakin’ whackadoo.
