Possibly Made Up: Keith Richards Snorted His Dad

UPDATE: Apparently, the leathery old guy was just kidding. We're not sure if we buy it or not, but here is a story where a Rolling Stones representative denies the whole thing.

--

You’d think that in all of his 63 years, the humanoid known as Keith Richards would have put just about everything possible up his nose. But if you thought that, while you’re probably close to the truth, you’ll still likely be surprised by a new development in the drug saga that is Keef’s life.

According to a MSN.com article, Richards recently told NME that the strangest thing he ever snorted were the ashes of his cremated father.

"He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow,” the Rolling Stone was quoted as saying, adding that he didn’t think his father, who died in 2002, would mind.

We’re not even going to try anything clever or witty in response to this. Just let it sink it in for a while…
