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.

Another Dem who is just average folk.

From Wikipedia: The Pelosi family has a net worth of over $25 million, mainly investments of husband Paul Pelosi. Besides a large portfolio of jointly owned San Francisco Bay Area real estate, he also has millions of dollars worth of shares in publicly traded companies such as Microsoft, Amazon.com and AT&T.

Was this only a surgery to relieve water or swelling on the brain?

In Keith's case it would be "bourbon and water" on the brain.

Was it Keith Richards who refused to give up his suite for President Bush a couple of weeks ago. It was in another country and he had rented the entire suite that Bush requested, too late. And when they asked him, he refused the Secret Service. If not him, who was it?

(...The operation NORMALLY involves drilling a hole through the skull but, according to a witness in the operating room, the doctors burned up fifteen diamond tipped drill bits and had to resort to a shaped charge of dynamite.

The doctors were concerned until the rock star opened his eyes and said.. "Cool".

Brain? What brain? Richard's head consists of gunk from all the drugs he did.

For real. A picture's worth a thousand words.
