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.

...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.

The Rolling Stones played a concert in Wellington on April 18 as part of their "A Bigger Bang" world tour.
Hey, nothing makes a bigger bang like falling on your head from a tree.

Not the first time. Last time he fell out of a tree he penned "Monkey Man". He was hiding from Mick. Mick found him though and knocked him off a limb with a big rock. ;)

Hiding from Mick after shooting his water rats. ;)

Sounds like he has been released from hospital but is still recovering here in NZ somewhere. Maybe we may get a new tune from this? Oh wait, Neil Young already did the chopping of the palm tree some years back. :)

Rusty.

Had surgery to reduce the pressure.

What do you think the chances are that his injury was caused by something much less, erm, "cool" than falling out of a palm tree? (or a jet ski)

Stroke?

Stroke? That was my first thought as well. How many 62yr old guys can actually climb a palm tree after all...

How many 62 yo's who look as old and withered as Keith Richards can climb out of bed? Unless that tree had an escalator...
