Keith Richards had surgery to relieve a blood clot on his brain caused by a recent accident while on vacation in Fiji, according to news reports.

The New Zeland Herald reports that, The Rolling Stones guitarist was recovering in New Zealand after the surgery. The operation reportedly was to relieve a subdural hematoma – a blood clot on the brain. The procedure normally involves drilling a hole through the skull to remove the clot, reports Reuters. Yuk

There have been reports that the accident was caused by either Richards falling off a coconut tree, or a jet ski or a combination of the two!!

How can it be a combination of the two?Jet Ski's don't go anywhere near coconut trees as a rule. I would go for the coconut one as I know how good they taste with rum in them. Just get one off the tree, take the top off add the rum and sip away - heaven.
