Richards: 'I Did Snort My Dad's Ashes... Just Not With Coke'....
Rolling Stone Keith Richards has revisited the controversy surrounding his comment about snorting his father's ashes - insisting his denial was only in relation to mixing it with cocaine.The guitarist's confession sparked a worldwide media frenzy earlier this year (07) when he is alleged to have made the revelation to British music magazine Nme.Richards promptly released a statement addressing the comment, claiming he was only joking about inhaling the ashes of his dead dad Bert with the illegal drug.But the 63-year-old has admitted there was some truth to the story.He says, "The cocaine bit was rubbish (not true). 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".Continuing the Rolling Stones rocker Keith Richards vows he will live until 150 years of age.
The 63-year-old guitarist, known for his hell-raising ways, insists he hasn't contemplated his death, as he believes the end of his life is "a long way off".
He says, "I'll just have the three slaves with me (at his funeral). I never even thought about it, I mean, I don't want to be paraded down Whitehall (illustrious London road) on a f**king carriage. I don't want nothing.
"Hey, when I'm gone, I'm done. Everybody else can decide what to do with me.
My folks know what's what. Mind you, it's a long way off. I'm looking to be a good 150 before I think about croaking".
