Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards denied that he snorted the ashes of his late father during a drugs binge. Jane Rose, Richards' manager, told MTV News the remarks were made in jest, and she could not believe they had been taken seriously. Richards had said in an interview with the NME: He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. But NME interviewer Mark Beaumont was convinced that Richards was not joking when speaking to him about the alleged incident. He did seem to be quite honest about it. There were too many details for him to be making it up, he later told BBC news.
