THE mother of rocker Keith Richards has died at the age of 91 from cancer.

The Rolling Stone, 63, had been keeping a vigil at his mother Doris`s bedside since her diagnosis.

Richards extended his stay in London to be with his mother, who died peacefully in her sleep on Saturday.

The star`s spokesman, Bernard Doherty, said: “Doris Richards, aged 91, mother of Rolling Stone Keith Richards, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Saturday 21 April 2007.

The rocker`s father, Bert, died in 2002 at the age of 84.

Richards recently retracted a comment in a magazine interview that he snorted his father`s ashes in a line of cocaine.

The guitarist, who underwent brain surgery after falling from a palm tree, said the quotes had been “lost in translation” and that they were a joke.
