Doctors to drill Keith Richards's skull

SURGEONS plan to drill a hole in the skull of Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards and drain blood from his brain after he bashed his head in a tumble in Fiji last week.

The 62-year-old rock wild man hurt himself when he fell out of a palm tree at an expensive island resort.
Richards was originally diagnosed with mild concussion, but he continued to complain of dull headaches after he was transferred to a hospital in Auckland. Tests later revealed a small haemorrhage.

A British newspaper quoted a friend as saying: "Keith's accident has turned out worse than everybody feared. After the tests, doctors decided they should drain his skull. It has given him a scare but he's been told he should make a full recovery once it's done."

It remains unclear whether Richards' injury will have any effect on the Rolling Stones' world tour.

It remains unclear what a 62 year old rocker is doing climbing a palm tree in the first place.

Just goes to prove... if you hit your head get it checked out because it can be more serious than you may think. Same thing happen to my dad when he fell on ice!
