Wants his ashes to be kept in a jar

-

The Sex Pistols frontman finds the idea of being put in a grave “frankly horrific” because he worries his body would have a block of flats built on it one day if he was buried six foot in the ground. He said: “The idea of a grave is frankly horrific. I’d rather be a jar of ashes. How long can you keep a grave before someone builds council flats on it?” But if the star did have a gravestone, he’d want a comical message etched on it. When asked what would be written on his tombstone, he added: “Something funny. I love epitaphs that pass wit and humor on to those left living as you cease to exist. But it would probably be misunderst­ood.” The 60-year-old singer doesn’t believe God was “possible”, partly because the word is “dog spelt backwards”. When asked if he believes in the eternal being, he replied: “Spelt backwards is dog? It’s a man-made concept, very haughty and intellectu­al, but the end results prove no such thing could be possible.” The star insists he doesn’t regret anything in his life and only looks backwards to make sure he doesn’t make the same mistakes again. He added to Classic Rock magazine: “‘Je Ne Regrette Rien’ - a song I could have written myself. There’s no point looking back regretfull­y. Always look at what you do as you do it, and only look back in order to correct your mistakes. “You have to know when you’ve done wrong, and you have to be able to take criticism on the chin from your family and friends.”

The ‘Without You’ hitmaker is reportedly asking for the Australian billionair­e to pay out $50?million as a settlement as she believes she had to uproot her life and move to Los Angeles for him. But a source close to the couple says the mother-of-two - who has five-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with her ex-husband Nick Cannon won’t be getting any money but he will let her keep her ring. A source told the New York Post’s Page Six column: “Of course Mariah wants money, but she’s not getting $50 million. There’s no negotiatio­ns about money because they haven’t spoken since the split. “He let her keep the ring, and she isn’t getting a cent more. It is ridiculous to claim that James is the reason for the cancellati­on of her South America tour. A few days ago she blamed it on the promoters.” Meanwhile, Mariah and James are “trying” to work things out after having a fight in Greece. Her representa­tive said in a statement: “Mariah and James had a fight in Greece, and have not seen each other since. [The fight was not due to] any cheating allegation­s or excessive spending. They are trying to work it out. Right now, they’re not sure if they will stay together. They are discussing it.” It has been claimed that the pair split because Mariah became so obsessed with her reality television show ‘Mariah’s World’. A source said: “It’s all over. James had huge reservatio­ns about Mariah’s new reality TV show and the fact that she was willing to expose their lives to the world ... James is very generous, but Mariah takes it to the next level.”
