Keith Richards

Keith Richards – currently the subject of a $7.3m bid for his memoirs – reveals all in the new issue of MOJO magazine, out on Wednesday. Among startling revelations regarding the “hazing” of Brian Jones, his initial lack of enthusiasm for (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction, and his problems getting clean of heroin in the ’70s and ’80s, Keith delivers the truth behind the recent ashes-inhaling controversy.

Harper Collins and Little, Brown editors will be scouring the new MOJO for pointers as to what their millions of publishing dollars are going to get them. So let’s do them a favour and flag up the highlights.

On the fact that he was on Mark Chapman’s infamous “list”: “Other people’s shopping doesn’t interest me, hahaha!”

On Brian Jones: “He just became a pain in the fucking arse.”

On combining sport and smack: “Wouldn’t dream of going skiing without a good shot!”

On the snorting of the paternal remains: “I opened his box up and said, ‘Jesus, I’ve got to do something with Dad.’”

Find out if he inhaled in the new MOJO – on sale Wednesday August 1.

Keith Richards: 'I Did Snort My Dad's Ashes... Just Not With Cocaine'

Keith Richards has revisited the controversy surrounding his comment about snorting his father's ashes - insisting his denial was only in relation to mixing it with cocaine.

The guitarist's confession sparked a worldwide media frenzy earlier this year when he is alleged to have made the revelation to British music magazine NME.

Richards promptly released a statement addressing the comment, claiming he was only joking about inhaling the ashes of his dead dad Bert with the illegal drug.

But the 63-year-old has admitted there was some truth to the story.

He says, "The cocaine bit was rubbish (not true). I said I chopped him up like cocaine, not with. I'd opened his box up and said, 'Jesus, I've got to do something with dad, y'know, plant the oak tree.'

"I pulled the lid off and out comes a bit of dad on the dining room table. I'm going, 'I can't use the brush and dustpan for this'. So you just gotta like, put it together.

"What I found out is that ingesting your ancestors is a very respectable way of... y'know, he went down a treat."

What a bout a little hour and a quarter with Keith alone in the studio, waiting
for the recording engineer to set the tape for some acoustic guitar overdubs on
a « Voodoo Lounge » track and playing his faves, smoking cigarettes, drinking
and talking about this old stuff he's playing, about the first tune he ever
learned to play back in the art school days (« Cocaine »... erm...)
The sound is ******. You can FEEL the wood from his acoustic guitars... This is
a real document !
You would bet he's playing in your living room, just for you.
Sit back in your sofa, sip a glass of Jack Daniels', close your eyes and here we
go !

Keith Richards reissues rare single on iTunes Thu Dec 6, 9:01 PM ET

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards is reissuing his 1978 solo single "Run Rudolph Run" on iTunes just in time for the holidays, his spokeswoman said on Thursday.

The tune, popularized by Chuck Berry, will be sold on a two-for-one basis with Richards' more-recent rendition of Toots and the Maytals' "Pressure Drop."

The arrangement does not include the B-side of "Run Rudolph Run," Richards' cover of Jimmy Cliff's "The Harder They Come."

Richards recorded "Run Rudolph Run" in 1976. The "Pressure Drop" redo dates from a session in 2003, when he contributed the track "Careless Ethiopians" to the Grammy-winning Toots and the Maytals album "True Love."

The tunes will go on sale on December 11, a week before Richards turns 64.
