(antiMusic) Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has admitted that he did in fact snort his father's ashes, thus doing an about face from his previous denial of the deed. However, he states that he didn't mix his fathers remains with cocaine."What I found out is that ingesting your ancestors is a very respectable way of... y'know, he went down a treat," Richard reportedly says in a new magazine interview according to UK music site Gigwise. The story caused controversy when it first broke with Richards issuing a denial but he has now changed his tune and offered up a correction to the widely reported claims that he mixed his fathers remains with cocaine before having a toot.
"The cocaine bit was rubbish. 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." - read teh Gigwise report
