WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Doctors are concerned Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards could suffer from brain damage after undergoing two surgeries following a fall while holidaying in Fiji, the New Zealand Herald reported on Wednesday.
The newspaper said Richards had undergone an operation at a hospital in New Zealand on Monday to relieve a blood clot on the brain which involved drilling a hole through the skull. Subdural hematoma can be caused by mild knocks to the head.
His London publicists confirmed on Monday that he had surgery but did not disclose the details. They said it was a success and he was expected to recover in a few weeks.
The Herald said Richards had his first operation on April 28 to stop bleeding in his skull.
A spokesman at the Ascot Hospital in Auckland declined to comment on the report.
Richards' two daughters -- 21-year-old Theodora and 19-year-old Alexandra -- were also reported to have arrived at Auckland's Ascot Hospital on Tuesday to join their mother at Richards' bedside.
The 62-year-old rocker had been under medical observation in Auckland following the fall in late April.
Richards was flown to Auckland after the accident while holidaying in Fiji following the end of the Japan, China, Australia and New Zealand leg of a world tour.
Along with lead singer Mick Jagger, Richards has been the backbone of the Rolling Stones since the 1960s. Continued... |

Now I'm starting to get a little concerned. Just the fact that all the kids and Patti are at his bedside is reason enough to be a bit worried. There is much more to this story than the Stones themselves are letting on. The only reason that the whole family would be summoned is because there is a chance that he won't make a full recovery. Having said that,I do think that Keef will be fine,but these daily updates are a little disconcerting to say the least.

Hi Riffy! And yes, I couldn't agree with you more....
It's so true that when the family starts to gather 'round, the situation is serious.
...been there, done that. |

Nah, it's just a publicity bonanza. At least that's what I keep telling my own shitting-in-my-own-pants-whilst-putting-on-a-brave-face self. Please, Keith Don't Go! |

Sadly, me too. And Riffy's right. This does look dire indeed. |

Has Mick gone down there yet? |

I'm scared out of my mind BUT let's keep in mind that Keith is VERY close to his children.
He values family.....and if it were my Dad I'd be right there too.
Let us also not forget that he's likely withdrawing from alcohol as well. No better help than your family.
I REFUSE to get out my Black Shroud just yet.
LJ.
PS...if it makes any of you feel better...I spotted an error in the story. A burr hole drainage of a hematoma is NOT a craniotomy. Everyone take a deep breath. I shall now drink. |

When we see Mick & Charlie running down there, that'll be an indicator. |

Riffy, are you at work?
Can you spin us some "Rockawhile".......for our buddy Keith?
TIA, babe  |

All i want is for Keith to be well. Fuck the rest!
I too have been concerned about all his family being there... That's usually not a good sign, especially after so many days in the hospital. The only news is the limited medical procedure news, aside from that, it seems that everything else is specualtion, that too has me concerned.
I don't care what anyone says about how he got hurt. It's not like he was alone in room with a rig in his arm, or choking on his own puke, or god forbid a gun in his mouth.
Keith is tough as nails, we know this... I want everyone to take a minute, ask god to keep him well, even at the risk of no more Stones. God hears unselfish prayers! |

Yes Pammy I am at work,and I have evry intention of playing something for Keith. I was leaning towards Midnight Rambler,but Rockawile does seem appropriate. I will certainly do something for Keith!

Brace yourselves my Stones friends. This hasn't been good from day one, and it is unlikely to get better. Reality. |

Ron Wood was quoted as saying that Keith looked down and then jumped headfirst to the pavement below. What a strange and pathetic way to kill yourself. |

Dear God....
We are all gathered here tonight.
We are friends from different countries, ethnic, religious, political and socioeconomic backgrounds.
We are frightened because someone we love and admire is ill.
We ask that you send your blessings to Keith Richards. Keep him safe. Heal him as only you can.
We ask this as humble beings on this fragile planet.
One Love!
Amen.
===========================================================
Hope you all don't mind my speaking on behalf of us all.
My heart is so heavy right now and I believe in the power of prayer.
hugs,
LJ. |

It's at times like this that I wish I had no medical background. I want to keep a positive, upbeat, attitude, but the "family at the bedside" does not reassure me either.
Thanks LJ for saying it so well for all of us.
And Riffy I'm listening!! |

He's an extremely sick guy a long way from home who's probably also suffering from alcohol withdrawal and the associated anxiety and depression. It's only natural that he would want his daughters with him down there, given the state of mind he must be in. I doubt if "calling the family around" means a serious turn for the worse. |
