http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/04/03/nash103.xmlRolling Stones wildman Keith Richards claims he snorted his own father's ashes during a drugs binge.
Richards is known for his hard-living lifestyle
Richards made the extraordinary admission in an interview with NME magazine.
"The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father," he said.
"He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared, he didn't give a s***.
"It went down pretty well, and I'm still alive."
Richards' father, Bert, died in 2002 aged 84.
The 63-year-old rocker also recounted his worst drugs experience.
"It was when someone put strychnine in my dope. It was in Switzerland. I was totally comatose, but I was totally awake. I could listen to everyone, and they were like, 'He's dead, he's dead!', waving their fingers and pushing me about, and I was thinking, 'I'm not dead!'," .
But he said: "I've no pretensions about immortality - I'm the same as everyone else - same as you, same as everybody.
"I was number one on the Who's Likely To Die list for 10 years. I mean, I was really disappointed when I fell off the list.
