He had kept a vigil at her bedside, forcing him to skip a memorial for the late record mogul Ahmet Ertegun last week, reports Reuters.
Her death comes just weeks after Richards told NME that he once snorted a line of his own father’s ashes.
Richards is the only child of Doris and Bert Richards, who split up in 1962.
His mother is survived by four grandchildren.
