Would you snort your father's ashes? Keith Richards apparently did.
Richards made the extraordinary admission in an interview with NME magazine.
"The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father," he said.
"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 sh*t.
"It went down pretty well, and I'm still alive." His father, Bert, died in 2002 aged 84.
The 63-year-old rocker also recounted his worst drugs experience.
"It was when someone put strychnine in my dope. It was in Switzerland. I was totally comatose, but I was totally awake. I could listen to everyone, and they were like, 'He's dead, he's dead!', waving their fingers and pushing me about, and I was thinking, 'I'm not dead!'," he recalled.
But he said: "I've no pretensions about immortality - I'm the same as everyone else - same as you, same as everybody, I'm the same old b*stard, just kind of lucky.
"I was number one on the Who's Likely To Die list for 10 years. I mean, I was really disappointed when I fell off the list."
And he added: "Some doctor told me I had six months to live and I went to their funeral. The obit columns are of quite an interest to me these days. I don't trust doctors. It's not to say there ain't some good ones, but on a general level, no, I wouldn't trust 'em at all."
Richards predicted that Pete Doherty could be the next drugs casualty - and told him to leave supermodel Kate Moss alone.
"My advice for Pete Doherty is that he should shut the f*ck up and leave her," he said. "I don't know the man, all I know is he's pushing his luck and there it is, but so is Kate, who I know very well.
"Kate wants to play with bad boys, and she's done one, and then another one, and then another one. Badabing, badabang, badaboom. She'll live, the boys will die."
And he warned rock stars not to emulate his fabled drug-taking.
"I did it because that was the way I did it. Now people think it's a way of life," he said.
Of today's musicians, he declared: "Everyone's a load of crap. They're are trying to be somebody else and they ain't being themselves. Libertines, Arctic Monkeys, Bloc Party? Load of crap, load of crap. Posers, rubbish."The Rolling Stones will kick off the European leg of their A Bigger Bang tour in June.
Last year their touring was interrupted when Richards reportedly fell out of a palm tree while on holiday in Fiji.
But Richards said: "I wasn't climbing a tree. I was sitting on a f*cking shrub. I was sitting on that shrub again today, but I happened to fall off it the wrong way that day."
He underwent brain surgery after the accident and revealed: "I've been trepanned. That's quite an interesting experience, especially for my brain surgeon, who saw my thoughts flying around in my brain. I've got pictures of it, mate. They cut my head, brain, skull open, went in and pulled out the crap, and put some of it back again.
"But that's the way it is. I mean, sh*t, Keith Richards has got to do everything once."

Student punished for spaghetti beliefs
The Flying Spaghetti Monster
A student has been suspended from school in America for coming to class dressed as a pirate.
But the disciplinary action has provoked controversy – because the student says that the ban violates his rights, as the pirate costume is part of his religion.
Bryan Killian says that he follows the Pastafarian religion, and that as a crucial part of his faith, he must wear 'full pirate regalia' as prescribed in the holy texts of Pastafarianism.
The school, however, say that his pirate garb was disruptive
Pastafarians follow the Flying Spaghetti Monster (pictured), and believe that the world was created by the touch of his noodly appendage. Furthermore, they acknowledge pirates as being 'absolute divine beings', and stress that the worldwide decline in the number of pirates has directly led to global warming.
A man in full pirate regalia
Pastafarianism gained wide attention when its key prophet, Bobby Henderson, wrote to the Kansas School Board during the height of the controversy over 'Intelligent Design' being taught in science classes. His letter, also published on his website, demanded equal time be given to the teachings of the Flying Spaghetti Monster as was given to ID and evolutionary theory.
Since then, the Flying Spaghetti Monster has gained countless followers worldwide, although there are those who remain spagnostic.
And me that I thought only Diana invented these stories
The school, in North Buncombe, North Carolina, remains adamant that their decision to suspend Killian for a day has nothing to do with his religion, and quite a lot to do with his repeated refusal to heed warnings against wearing pirate outfits.
