10 Most Insane Controversies In Rock And Roll Music

There's probably not a single drug on this Earth that hasn't been consumed by Keith Richards at some point in his life. For all of the junk that Keef has had flowing through his veins during the Stones' prime, his ability to bounce right back has put him in the conversation as one of the few immortal journeymen of rock and roll. There's nothing off the table for him though...even when he keeps it in the family.

When Keith was still in need of a fix back in the day, he was running low on his personal stash and had noticed the urn of his deceased father sitting on his mantle. Making the best of the situation, Keef has said that he picked up a scoop of his ancestor, pulled out a straw, and proceeded to snort his ashes. Though there have been theories that suggest that Keith was just toying with interviewers, he seems to stand by it on multiple occasions.

Then again, this is also Keith Richards, a man who has been known as the most notorious men in rock and roll for years now. Chances are that he may have been lying, but any junkie feigning for a kick will do anything they can to feel something, and dear ol Dad might have been the only thing that resembled cocaine. Considering the fact that Keef is still kicking these days, there's a good chance that whatever was mixed in with those ashes may have been the key to the fountain of youth.
