CELEB: Keith Richards: "I Snorted My Dad"

Keith Richards, guitarist for the most successful touring band in North America (!?) recently told NME that one of the craziest things he's ever ingested was his father's ashes.

Of course now Richards' publicist (and party-pooper), Jane Rose, is claiming that the admission was just a joke. I imagine that she's more alarmed that Richards basically admitted that he's still doing coke rather than the fact he had a final father-and-son bonding moment. Richards' relationship with his father was strained for a good part of his life (Keef even dropped the “s” on his last name for a period) so it's nice to see that that they finally progressed to the point where all paternal relationships should end: ground up with some cocaine and snorted through a rolled-up dollar bill.

In between father snorting stories, Richards also managed to get in some digs at the current at the current music scene in Britain when he called the Arctic Monkeys, the Libertines and others "a load of crap." He also, presumably with a straight face, urged Kate Moss to stay away from "bad boys" like Pete Doherty.

Talk about love for a family member. This has to be the most badass thing any rock star has ever done. Within three weeks, Axl Rose will have snorted his entire family.

He still knows how to get people talking about him too

April Fools'? Richards denies snorting ashes

is this REALLY a surprise to anyone? true or not...

Mick... you ignorant slut!!!

I want to produce a "Survival of the Fittest" Pay-Per-View... we lock Keith Richards and our own beloved Manko Suicide in a live London club for a weekend, with nothing but $500,000 worth of cocaine and alcohol and see who's still standing at dawn on Monday.

keith is a english living legend a crazy mofo snort your dad thats awesome!!!!!.
falls out of trees pissed up the original party animal.wonder why he hasn,t been knighted

I read this in the paper eating breakfast... I almost gagged.

That is some seriously freaky stuff.

BRILLIANT

Craziest. Motherfucker. Ever.

I knew when he said it it was probably bullshit. I still think its a fucked up thing to say and is a social commentary on how much some standards have eroded. Its just plain stupid, What a dickhead

ROFL...I'm really not sure what to think about this....wow!

Regardless, I've heard a lot of people say things much worse...so meh.

haha, obvious reference

WOW, Keith Richards is still alive?

Only Twinkies have more chemicals in them than Keith Richards.

after the world has nuked itself into oblivion, all that will be left will be the cock roaches and mr. keith richards.

I wonder how much an eight ball of Keef's dad would go for.

That had to be uncomfortable. Cremated bodies have the texture of grapenuts.
MM

I challenge you to find a doctor who will tell you this.

no, he's.. uh... unliving(?) proof that the undead do, in fact, exist.

It's not his fault! The only way he knows to show his love is to snort something.

Awe... Poor Manko!
