In an interview with NME magazine, the 63 year-old musician revealed that he mixed his father’s ashes with cocaine and inhaled them through his nose. "The strangest thing I’ve tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father," the guitarist told the British magazine.
"He was cremated and I couldn’t resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn’t have cared," Richards said. "… It went down pretty well, and I’m still alive."
Bert Richards, Keith’s father, died in 2002 at the age of 84.
Keith Richards is well-known for living life at 100 miles per hour. Last year, the Rolling Stones were forced to cancel several concerts after Richards was injured during a family vacation. The accident required the rock star to undergo brain surgery.
