In case you do not know me... I love the Rolling Stones...
And unless you've been under a rock for the past week or two...
Keith Richards fell out of a Palm Tree... Yea I know... none of you are surprised. But I was worried because it seemed super serious. He had to have brain surgery to relieve pressure on his brain! That caused The Stones to reschedule some of their European Tour Dates...
Poor Keith..
Good news came out today though... The Toronto Star reported tonight

Jun. 2, 2006. 08:00 PM
LONDON (AP) — The Rolling Stones, assured that Keith Richards is fully recovered from a head injury, will kick off their rescheduled European tour in Milan, Italy, on July 11.
The band is booked for 21 stadium appearances in 11 countries, it was announced Friday. Previously scheduled concerts in Nuremberg and Leipzig, Germany, have been cancelled, and 10 other concerts on the tour, which had been set to open May 27 in Barcelona, Spain, have been postponed.
Richards, 62, was injured in late April when he reportedly fell out of a palm tree while vacationing in Fiji.
The tour announcement on the Stones' website said Richards had made a "complete recovery from his accident" and was ready to return to the concert stage.
Richards, in a statement, apologized to fans.
"Excuse me, I fell off of my perch! Sorry to disrupt everyone's plans but now — it's full steam ahead! Ouch!!"
Ticket holders for rescheduled concerts should retain their tickets and await further information, the band's spokesman said.
Revised tour dates: July 11, Milan, Italy; July 14, Vienna, Austria; July 16, Munich, Germany; July 19, Hanover, Germany; July 21, Berlin; July 23, Cologne, Germany; July 28, Paris; July 31, Amsterdam, Netherlands; Aug. 3, Stuttgart, Germany; Aug. 5, Zurich, Switzerland; Aug. 8, Nice, France; Aug. 12, Porto, Portugal; Aug. 14, Valladolid, Spain; Aug. 16, El Ejido, Spain"
