nobody_home Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 If Keith Richards falls out of a tree and nobody is there to hear it, does it make sound? Keith Richards Hospitalized in New Zealand Associated Press Update 3: Keith Richards Hospitalized in New Zealand By MIKE CORDER , 04.29.2006, 11:08 AM Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards was hospitalized for a mild concussion he suffered while vacationing in Fiji, reportedly after falling out of a palm tree. Richards, 62, was injured earlier this week and flown to a New Zealand hospital for treatment, band spokeswoman Fran Curtis said in a statement Saturday. "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 or explain how he was injured. But media reports in Australia 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. A newspaper report Sunday said Richards was flown to Auckland's Ascot Hospital on Thursday after the accident. Hospital duty manager Steve Kirby 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. Resort employee Salesi Finau 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 or comment on reports of Richards' accident. 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. Copyright 2006 Associated Press.

katie_sane Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 News reports in Australia said he was climbing up the tree with Ronnie Wood. Keith fell down, hurt his head. He later went jet skiing and fell off that too, so they decided to take him to hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
