LONDON -- Keith Richards was joking when he claimed to have snorted his
father's ashes along with cocaine, a spokesman said Wednesday.

"It was an off-the-cuff remark, a joke, and it is not true. File under
April Fool's joke," said Bernard Doherty of LD Communications, which
represents the Rolling Stones.

Doherty declined to say any more about why Richards made the statement
in an interview with NME, a pop music magazine.

"The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my
father," the 63-year-old guitarist was quoted as saying.

"He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit
of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared ... It went down pretty well, and
I'm still alive."

Richards' father, Bert, died in 2002, at 84.

LMAO what a freak. I bet he really did it too and when the backlash hit
he went into denial mode. Shoot just look at him, he looks like he has
been dead for years.

Hey a friend of mine when their buddy died they put some of him in a
joint & smoked him.

Did Keith Richard snort his father's ashes before or after he fell of
that tree?

Is Keith still alive? LMAO!!!!
