Rolling Stone Keith falls from tree
Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has been airlifted to a New Zealand hospital with a serious head injury after falling out of a palm tree while on holiday in Fiji.
The 62-year-old and fellow Stones member Ron Wood were attempting to climb the tree at an exclusive resort last week when he slipped and fell, hitting his head, Fairfax newspapers reported.
Richards was reportedly flown from the Wakaya Club to Nausori Airport near Suva where he was treated at the Suva Private Hospital on Thursday morning, the papers said.
He was then reportedly transferred to Auckland's Ascot Hospital on Thursday afternoon where he remained with his wife, Patti Hansen, by his side.
Richards and his family were enjoying a holiday at the exclusive resort following their Australian tour.
Falling out of a tree, great.
This guy is priceless!
Well,
That's really a monkey business!
What in the whole world were the old buds looking for on the tree?!?

OK, "mild concussion" and "precautionary measure" are a lot better than "serious head injury."
What the fuck was he doing in a tree? |

i guess he was having fun trying to rip some fruit for Patti
though I am still worried about the man I must say I smile if I think of this 62 years old billionaire pirate climbing trees
Did I understand correctly that Ron was with him in this enterprise?
Be good Keith |

From Yahoo News:
WELLINGTON, New Zealand - 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.
The Fijilive.com news Web site reported that the accident was believed to have happened at Fiji's exclusive Wakaya Club resort.
Salesi Finau of the resort told The Associated Press that Richards and his wife recently stayed at the resort for about a week but would not say when they left.
Finau also refused to comment on the reports Richards had an accident.
"I am sorry, I do not have any comment on that," he said.
The Rolling Stones played a concert in Wellington on April 18 as part of their "A Bigger Bang" world tour.
According to the band's Web site, the Stones' next scheduled concert is at the Olympic Stadium in Barcelona, Spain, followed by 34 more dates across Europe.

"...as a precautionary measure, he flew to a hospital accompanied by his wife, Patti, for observation..."
They'd probably need Patti there to know if what they're "observing" is "normal" behavior for Keith.
Mojo for Keith and the Stones family. NOT the way you want to spend your hard earned break.

Can you imagine being so famous that if you bump your head on some tiny island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean that within 24 hours the entire world has been informed of your condition? Of course,being an insider and all I must accept my fair share of responsibility for getting word out. Sorry Keith! We all have our crosses to bear I suppose.

Here's an idea. Why don't you lighten the fuck up Francis! He suffered a mild concussion. It's not like he is in any kind of serious condition. I should know,afterall I am an insider and shit. Damn all I do is try and be a Rocks Off media mogul and people give me shit! All I'm looking for is a little respect! Is that too much to ask?

I haven't heard anything on CNN this morning so I just hope any scans he gets will come out negative.
Suddenly all those posts on playlists & ticket prices seem so... meaningless.
Lloyds of London sure as hell ain't the only one who hope he protected his fingers as well!
"You may know the Lloyd's name from some of the more gossip-worthy assets it has insured in the past: Betty Grable's legs, for example, or Keith Richards' fingers. But such policies are more than mere publicity stunts. The unique Lloyd's business model – Lloyd's is a kind of marketplace, rather than a single company – allows it to take on such unusual risks." [from Computerworld.com.sg 11/2005]
GET WELL SOON KEEF!

hum "mild concussion" and "precautionary measure" could really mean anything at this point and really sound like "company talk" in this world of "spin", remember the Pope trying to speak when his tracheotmoy would have made it impossible ?...Anyway the good new is that I guess it does mean he isnt't dead though !
Hope Keith gets well and yes Riffhard, WTF cares whether you tipped off Drudge ? After reading messages here, wow, way to go. |

It sounds like Keith suffered a stroke. He'll be okay, I hope. |

A stroke is also what came to mind when I heard the news, that tree-climbing story sounds fabricated and Keith admitted that the Leonardo da Vinci story was fabricated too, must have fainted and hurt himself at the time. Jagger, Cohl and the insurance company are probably trying to figure out how to spin this. Maybe a good time to call in MT for the next concerts, like Guns and Roses did in 1993 when Izzy was called back to fill in for Gilby Clarke. Stranger things have happened.
Not to which ill on others but I hope Riffhard's computer blows up so he can stop acting the goat and spare us from his ridiculous signature as a welcome bonus. |

I do hope and pray Keith's really fine and out of the hospital soon.
I can't wait to hear another anatomy-book style story of his describing all that, and I couldn't care less how made-up or not it will be, as long as he's alright.
P.S. Gotdablouse, the Da Vinci book story was "fabricated" by non other than Keith himself, so it wasn't a Stones office conspiracy or something like that... Keith ain't gonna let the dull truth spoil a good story, is he? |
