LONDON/WELLINGTON (May 8) - Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards underwent surgery in New Zealand Monday to relieve headaches after a fall while vacationing in Fiji, his London publicists said. "The operation was a complete success, and Keith is already up and talking with his family today," the publicists said in a statement about the surgery at the Ascot Hospital in Auckland. The publicists declined to comment on a report published in the New Zealand Herald that the surgery was performed to relieve pressure from a blood clot on the brain. The operation normally involves drilling a hole through the skull to drain the clot. Such a blood clot, or subdural hematoma, can be caused by mild knocks to the head. "He will need a few weeks' recuperation," the statement added, forcing the cancellation of early concert dates on the European leg of the Rolling Stones' "A Bigger Bang" tour. The 62-year-old rocker had been under medical observation in Auckland following the fall in late April. He had been feeling well after being examined by doctors last week, the statement added. "However, after complaining of headaches yesterday, doctors thought it prudent to move ahead with a small operation to remove the pressure," the statement said. ----------------------------------------- Anybody up for a similar treatment?
