According to news paper reports, Keith Richards has to have surgery. Apparently, his fall from that palm tree was not that "smooth"...

Read the latest report of The Sun:
[www.thesun.co.uk]

Or in case you speak German, have a look at the latest issue of Blick:
[www.blick.ch]

Any other news on that story?

Let's hope Keith will be fine soon again!

My apologies... I just realize this was posted already! Didn't see that - I am sorry...

Ok, so where is Keith ?
Cleveland ? London ?
The London news is more optimistic than the Cleveland thing, by far

ok, then we'll only beat you lightly this time.

sounds credible. I'm going with it. Overall, I am optimistic. I really hope this is all the wakeup call to which the story alludes. He can't continue this lifestyle....maybe a blessing in disguise.

oh damn

it's nothing official yet..please be carefull next time you post such a thing.

According to that idiotic BlicK.ch report, Keith has been examined in England^^

thats bleeding misinformation & the only source is the sun (damn mofos)

So is that your website, the DoctorStones one? If so, you have some great pictures on there of you and the band.


Lucky guy.

Considering the sources ("The Sun", "Blick"), I agree with PiotRSpl - let's be careful here and not jump to any sort of conclusions before OFFICIAL information is being released on the rs.com website.

Just thought you should know what some newspapers are reporting currently...

Bruce, you know you can change the title of this thread, right? maybe "re-run of Sun article" would be accurate?
you do that by choosing the "edit" option at the bottom of your first post, then making whatever changes you need to.
thanks.

Keith, be *well*

Yes indeed, Miss sssoul.
It sounds like Keith is in for a face surgery - jeeez

Best wishes to Keith and family at this delicate time.You're in all our hearts. Let's crank up a Stones riff and give a prayer. Good luck Keith and Patti.

Keith and Ron couldn't just order a coconut? They were like pre-teen kids trying to climb a tree? Unreal.

Still not true, this climbing thing.

After all Keith been through, this is a minor bump in the road..or head for that matter. Remember the old saying..only cockroaches and Keith shall remain..

The German GMX.NET (quick translation) reports that Keith is still in New Zealand in hospital. He has terrible headaches so they investigated and he has bleeding on the brain.

Now they have to operate. Apparently he was initially very scared of the operation but the doctors have assured him it is routine.

They hope he will be ready to play in Barcelona.

Dont shoot the messenger

If I was betting man, I would bet the beginning of the tour will be delayed. Keith is an alcoholic and will have trouble to balance his system after an extended run in hospital.

>> Still not true, this climbing thing. <<

how do you know that, Baboon Bro? i saw you contradicted the jetski story too, so i wonder what your sources are.
i've seen three different accidents reported, along with various combinations of accidents,
and as far as i know there's been no (0) official word on what happened. so i'm curious about your certainty on this.

Keith, be well

Bro, they weren't listening to that damn "put the lime in the coconut and drink it all up" song, were they?

Elmo, I've been waiting for someone to make that reference to the Nilsson song. Well done....by the way, when I glanced at the topic of this thread I thought Keith was going to have surgery to his face.

>> The German GMX.NET (quick translation) reports ... <<

are they quoting the Sun again, or is this some other source?
Doug's latest post - [p081.ezboard.com] - indicates that Keith is indeed in hospital somewhere, and doesn't say anything about the surgery
(by which i mean he may have already had it, or it may be upcoming, or it may be a fiction.
but it doesn't sound much like fiction anymore, if they're not expecting him to be out of the hospital until next week.)

and as our esteemed colleague Ablett so eloquently put it: sod the tour - Keith, be well

Thanks a lot, sssoul! I actually didn't know I could change that title... It wasn't quite accurate - thanks a lot for that information...

so what should we make of the story hes at the cleveland clinic-

>> StonesDoug. <<

thanks - do you have a link to it handy, or remember what the thread is called?

Keith, be well

Lukester, I never noticed him needing any facial surgery. ROTFLMAO!

Yes it does seem to be the same source on closer inspection,but rewritten.

He had a headache while going by boat, after the coconut incident.
The link is lost - vanished by now.

My daughter had a concussion a year ago, crashed into the ground while biking,
she was 5 years old then.
I feared for her life. She has a terrible headache.
They kept her at the hospital.
Thats routine all over the world in those cases.

Just imagine the sue amount if the Stones were to sue them
for letting him out to early?

And if you cant trust Doug; who would you trust?

Cleveland clinic, this is getting weirder. Its a long way from Fiji to Cleveland when you have a brain haemmorage. W^here is this info?

The Sun is a tabloid, so hopefully this report is pure bullshit, but it is very alarming!

Bro - the voice of reason. Who knew?
