sue943 Administrator Registered: Sun Dec 19 1999 Posts: 38005 Loc: Jersey Channel Islands	You have to admit that it makes a good topic title. Rolling Stone, Keith Richards fell out of a tree in Fiji and injured his head. Don't ask me why he was climbing trees at his age, he is 62 years old. The mind boggles. All manner of jokes come to mind, anyway, he is hospital in New Zealand and appears not to require brain surgery. No comment.

Keith is one of my all-time heroes - especially since his life-style and survival to this point defy all logic and flout all traaditional medical advice. As they say in Ireland - 'More power to his elbow'!

I wonder what they'd find in his brain! _________________________ I was born under a wandering star.

Some reports speculated that the rock star would need blood to be drained from his brain after the accident on holiday in Fiji last week. But spokeswoman Fran Curtis said: "He's feeling good and in good spirits." Richards, 62, was flown to hospital in New Zealand after reportedly falling from a tree while staying at an exclusive resort. He was officially said to have suffered "mild concussion". The band are due to start the European leg of their A Bigger Bang world tour in Barcelona on May 27. Ms Curtis said the concert would go ahead as planned but did not know when Richards would leave New Zealand. After the accident, Richards was airlifted to Auckland's Ascot Hospital for observation last weekend, where he had a brain scan before being released earlier this week. Richards, known for his hedonistic lifestyle, was voted rock's top hellraiser in a poll last year. ----------------------------------------------------------- I feel bad but I laughed when I read this. All those drugs and it took a coconut tree to hurt him? I am sure Mick was impressed that Keith climbed the tree. PF _________________________ All Things Purple Are Relative!
