Keith Richards reportedly will not promote the new 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movie - after saying he snorted his dead dad's ashes.
Concerned Walt Disney Studio bosses have decided the Rolling Stones guitarist is too unpredictable to promote 'Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End'.
Dennis Rice, Disney's senior vice president for publicity, said: "When (a senior Disney publicist) forwarded the ashes story to me, I thought, 'How are we going to spin this?'
"Keith won't be doing a lot of publicity for this movie."
Keith has a much-anticipated cameo as Teague Sparrow, the father of pirate Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp.
Meanwhile, Keith has insisted his comments about mixing cocaine with his late father's remains and sniffing them were a joke.
Keith wrote on website www.rollingstones.com: "The complete story was lost in the usual slanting.
