Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has revealed that he once snorted his dad's ashes.

The legendary rocker claims to have mixed the remains of his late father with cocaine before inhaling the unique concoction.

He told the NME: "The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My dad's ashes. I snorted my father. 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**t. It went down pretty well and I'm still alive."
