Keith Richards Denies Snorting Father and States it was a Joke ; Magazine Says Otherwise
Media outlets started publishing the startling confession that Keith Richards made regarding snorting his father's ashes Tuesday (April 3, 2007). But the reports triggered not only Keith Richards but a Rolling Stones spokesman to release a statement downgrading the confession into a simple April Fool's joke.
According to a statement made by Bernard Doherty, who is the spokesperson for the band Rolling Stones, Keith just made a "off-the-cuff" remark or in other words, a joke, and it should be just considered a April Fool's joke.
April Fool's joke? Isn't April Fool's on April 1st? This sounds like an excuse to cover up the release of way too much information.
For those that are not familiar with the interview that has sparked a large amount of media attention, here is the details:
During an interview with NME Magazine, Keith Richards was asked what was the strangest thing he has ever tried to snort outside of cocaine and he replied that he snorted his father's ashes one time. He said that his father had just been cremated and he couldn't resist grinding him up with a "little bit of blow". To add to the statement, he said that his father wouldn't have cared and that it went down pretty well.
Keith Richards released a statement on Wednesday (April 4, 2007) via the official Rolling Stones website stating:
"The complete story is lost in the usual slanting! The truth of the matter is that I planted a sturdy English Oak. I took the lid off the box of ashes and he is now growing oak trees and would love me for it!!! I was trying to say how tight Bert (his father) and I were. That tight!!! I wouldn't take cocaine at this point in my life unless I wished to commit suicide."
How can a story about planting a tree with the ashes of your father turn into that you snorted his remains? It just doesn't make sense.
Maybe Keith Richards will now know that there is some topics that should be left out of jokes, and this is one of them. Dishonoring your father by claiming that you snorted his remains with cocaine is not only a disregard to the life that he once lived, but is just sick.
Keith Richards, two words for you: Grow Up!

Post a Commenti read 3 articles on this page and all of them are based on some chip dirty rumors that you blow to the size of the planet and make articles of it, plus who cares what the author of the article thinks about keith richards or someone else, he is a legend and your are just a mere writers who writes about lives of others.
I think it's pretty funny.. People need to mind their own.. So what if he did, or did not.. It's his business and really no one else's.. People do the oddest things to be closer to someone they have lost.. I am sure many people have snorted ashes, and I am sure they haven't made it public :-) Great article !!!!!

I hope it was a joke. Sick or otherwise, it is better than it being the truth.
You know, as sick as it sounds, I can see how snorting a dead loved one's ashes as a very twisted attempt to feel closer to them. People do very strange things when they are grieving. I say whether he did or not, it's up to him to deal with as he sees fit.
I put nothing past the man.
