Keith Richards has called on his daughters to follow in his footsteps by inhaling his cremated body.

The 71-year-old reformed heroin and cocaine addict recently said he would be happy for his adult children, Theodora, 30, and Alexandra, 28, to snort his ashes and would ensure they had the means to do so.

“I’ll give them a straw, ” he told the Mirror.

Unfortunately, this is not the first time the ageing rocker has spoken about hoovering the remains of a loved one.

In a 2007 interview with NME, Richards famously stunned the world with claims he ingested his father’s ashes.

“The strangest thing I’ve tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father. He was cremated and I couldn’t resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow,” he said.

“My dad wouldn’t have cared, he didn’t give a s**t. It went down pretty well, and I’m still alive.”

He later clarified his claims, saying he had a moment when he felt it was a waste to simply spread the ashes somewhere.

“I opened dad’s ashes, and some blew over the table. I asked, should I desecrate them with a broom?,” he said.

“So I wet me finger and I shoved a bit of me dad up me f****** ‘ooter. I’m sure he’s still blessing me. The rest I put round a tree.”
