Keith Richards Hospitalized in New Zealand

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) -- Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards suffered a mild concussion while vacationing in Fiji and was flown to a New Zealand hospital for treatment, a band spokeswoman said Saturday.

Media reports said Richards fell out of a palm tree and remained hospitalized in Auckland.

Richards, 62, suffered a mild concussion while on holiday in Fiji earlier this week and was flown to New Zealand, band spokeswoman Fran Curtis said in a statement.

"Following treatment locally and as a precautionary measure, he flew to a hospital accompanied by his wife, Patti, for observation," Curtis said.

The statement did not elaborate on Richards' condition.

But media reports in Australian and New Zealand said Richards hurt his head after falling out of a palm tree at an exclusive Fiji resort and remained hospitalized in Auckland.

Newspapers in the Fairfax media group reported in their Sunday editions that Richards was flown to Auckland's Ascot Hospital on Thursday after the accident.

Steve Kirby, duty manager at the Ascot Hospital, would not comment on whether Richards was a patient there, citing the hospital's privacy policy.

I am so adjective that I verb nouns!
I've always suspected he was out of his tree.

Surgery for Keith Richards

By SUN ONLINE REPORTER

ROLLING Stone Keith Richards underwent surgery today to relieve pressure on his brain following his fall from a palm tree.

The operation was a “complete success” and the 62-year-old rocker is already up and talking to his family, his spokesman said.

And Richards will join the Stones on the European leg of their Bigger Bang tour - although the dates have been put back.

The opening gig in Barcelona was scheduled for late May but will now go ahead in June.

Re-scheduled dates will be announced shortly.

Richards underwent the operation at the Ascot Hospital in Auckland, New Zealand.

He suffered a brain haemorrhage following the accident in Fiji two weeks ago.

The operation involved drilling a hole in the skull to drain blood from the brain.

His spokesman said: “Keith was under observation in Auckland following a fall in Fiji and was feeling well since being examined by doctors last week.

“However, after complaining of headaches yesterday doctors thought it prudent to move ahead with a small operation to remove the pressure.

“The operation was a complete success with Keith already up and chatting with his family today. He will need a few weeks’ recuperation.”

Richards’ wife Patti Hansen was at his side in hospital.

Keef is the man. So is Sir Mick. Charlie's not too bad, either. I hope they keep rocking it out when I turn 50.
I cite irreconcilable differences.
