WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards had surgery to relieve a blood clot on his brain caused by an accident while holidaying in Fiji, local media reported on Monday.
The 62-year-old rocker was recovering in New Zealand after "brain surgery", Australian and New Zealand media reported.
A spokeswoman for the band said last week that Richards only suffered a mild concussion from an accident in Fiji in late April and would not require surgery.

Prayers for Keith. A mild concussion isn't fun. I had an episode where I lost my balance and fell 20 feet down an unfenced ledge at my parents house many years ago, and hurt from the top of my head down to my lower back as I fell headfirst, cushioning my fall with my barehands before I landed on the nape of my neck, and finally slammed down onto my back before blacking out for about 10 minutes.
Hurt like a sonofagun for about a week.

Talented fellow, I wish him well.
Was this only a surgery to relieve water or swelling on the brain?

Kinda hard to put him down, I broke 3 ribs doing stunts on a skateboard in my 40's.

The 62-year-old rocker was recovering in New Zealand after "brain surgery", Australian and New Zealand media reported. They took out the one that was stoned and booze-soaked and replaced it with another?

It was to relieve pressure on the brain I think. Believe it or not, that is a common non-risky operation today.
Amazing stuff in medicine.

He's got good genes, I can tell you that. Most men would have been dead at the age of 40 had they lived Richard's lifestyle.

He was only 30 when that photo was taken, ya know.....:)

Keith is really anti-everything. There was a pretty big rift between he and Mick after Mick got knighted. He gave a lot of interviews saying Mick "Sold out".
I would doubt Keith even knows who Bush is, but if he does, he is probably all about bashing a world leader no matter who it was or why they were bashing him.

They took out the one that was stoned and booze-soaked and replaced it with another? "I got it from Abby. Abby Normal..."
