Keith Richards May Have Suffered Brain Damage



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.

1. Nah! His brain must be made of rubber

If he hasn't damaged his brain by now then no operation is going to do it.

2. I hope he is OK

I have always liked him even though he is a bit of a loony.
But some one needs to tell him that a man in his 60s has no business climbing trees. I guess he is having trouble accepting the fact that he is growing old.

4. Stones spokespeople are saying this isn't true...

...and I'm too lazy to look for a link...but the story appeared yesterday, and anyone who wants it can probably go to Google News and find it.

They are saying that he had ONE operation, that it was successful, and everything else that's being reported is crap.

:patriot:

others say he was climbing a tree to gather coconuts

really tough to know which is crap and which is golden, eh?
