Richards originally claimed he was misquoted, after his publicists attempted to quash the story.

Richards, who last weekend claimed he would live to the age of 150, revealed that although he did snort his father, he did not mix his ashes with cocaine, as his previous NME.COM quote implied.

"The cocaine bit was rubbish," he said. "I said I chopped him up like cocaine, not with.

"I pulled the lid off [my father's urn] and out comes a bit of dad on the dining room table," Richards continued. "I'm going, 'I can't use the brush and dustpan for this'.

"What I found out is that ingesting your ancestors is a very respectable way of... y'kno

He said he snorted his dad's ashes, and then Disney phoned him that night because the next Pirate movie was coming out, and they told him to shut up, but now I guess he can just be honest.

He must have gotten the idea from Dennis Leary

From “No Cure for Cancer”:

“I was reading an interview with Keith Richards in a magazine and in the interview Keith Richards intimated that kids should not do drugs. Keith Richards! Says that kids should not do drugs! Keith, we can’t do any more drugs because you already did them all, alright! There’s none left! We have to wait ‘till you die and smoke your ashes!”

Snorting Keith's ashes would probably get you high for the rest of your life.

How is his liver still functional??

To quote one of my own stories (don’t ask):

“His mind was made up. It wasn’t real, just made up.”
