Probably trying to grab a coconut for his Vodka/Malibu-drink.

Come on people - he has a mild concussion. (just as I thought)
Now stop worrying, this is nothing too serious - I had it a couple of times already. They have to keep you in hospital for some time and check if there is no bleeding in the brain, but this is just to make sure. He'll be fine


Belgrade-Bucharest-Budapest-Brno

Gettin' relieved.
Halleluyah, brothers and sisters!
And; no, he will never grow up.
Thank God for that.

How else could he be 800 years old

"Ronnie, are you ready for a coconut-catch? Hold your glass a little more to the left! Now I'm gonna......OOOPPSS...!!"

Reuters has it too. Keith is recovering from mild concussion.

Thank you Honky Sealander for posting the Danish news report.

62 year old body...........18 year old heart.............no tree can kill the human-riff

Just for once Keith was in a tree instead of being out of one.

Take care of yourself Keith and good health to you.

Man I am pretty scared beacuse the things aren't that clear.Man hope he will be ok soon.Man my true love Keith returned immediately.

It's on comcast.net. Apparently he hit his head when he fell out of a palm tree! And has a mild concussion. I think he will be absolutely fine and it was more of a precautionary measure. I think it's pretty cool he was up in a palm tree. Maybe he was looking for a coconut to make a cocktail!!

Found this on the BBC. MILD CONCUSSION - could have been worse... But take care and get well, love!

Keith Richards 'tree fall' injury

Keith Richards has written some of the most famous guitar riffs in the world
Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has been taken to hospital in New Zealand after injuring himself while on holiday in Fiji.
A band spokeswoman said Richards had suffered a "mild concussion" and was taken to hospital as a precaution.

Media reports in Australia and New Zealand said Richards had hurt his head when he fell out of a palm tree.

The legendary musician is mid-way through a world tour with the famous British band.

The band most recently played in New Zealand and start the European leg of their tour in Barcelona next month.

"Following treatment locally and as a precautionary measure he flew to a hospital accompanied by his wife Patti for observation," the spokeswoman said.

The incident happened earlier this week but the star was taken to hospital on Saturday.

The spokeswoman said she did not know how the injury happened.

No further details on the 62-year-old rock star's condition were immediately available.

Sounds like he should be fine.

Report: Keith Richards falls from tree

Rolling Stones guitarist suffers concussion, hospitalized in New Zealand

Updated: 9:22 a.m. ET April 29, 2006

WELLINGTON, New Zealand - Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has suffered a mild concussion while vacationing in Fiji and was flown to hospital in New Zealand as a precaution, a spokeswoman for the band said in a brief statement Saturday.

"Earlier this week Rolling Stone Keith Richards suffered a mild concussion while on holiday in Fiji," the statement said.

"Following treatment locally and as a precautionary measure he flew to a hospital accompanied by his wife Patti for observation."

No further details on the 62-year-old rocker's condition were immediately available.

Media reports in Australian and New Zealand said Richards hurt his head when he fell out of a palm tree at an exclusive Fiji resort.

Normally a mild concussion takes 5-7 days of recovery and then it is okay again...

No need to worry.....

How many days will it take to forget about these worried threads?

Just chill out to The Wingless Angels....it'll calm and soothe you ;-)

i asked a friend whos in med school, he said that a concussion to the head if it was not severe would take about 1 to 2 weeks to fully heal. He said that if he was the doctor, he would have hospitalized him due to his age, just to make sure of no memory loss or other symptoms. he also said that he should be fine, given the info that we know.

"memory loss" . Its a wonder the guy can remember anything!

ok i am feeling a little better too, let's hope that's all there is, it does sound logic to hospitalize him just for observation anyway...
Get well Keith!

Who the f*ck is Mick Jagger?

after his coconut cracking experience....perhaps Keith will now pen monkey man #2
