Keith Richards Rolls Home
Keith Richards is all but over his big bang--now he's getting ready for A Bigger Bang.
The Rolling Stone is back in the U.S. after having been treated for a mild--or, depending on which reports you read, life-threatening--head injury in New Zealand and is preparing to hit the road with his Forty Licks bandmates in June.
"Keith Richards has arrived back home in the U.S. from New Zealand," read a posting on the band's official Website. "He is feeling great, happy to be home and looking forward to getting back on the road with the Rolling Stones next month."
The aging "Can't Get No Satisfaction" rockers were due to kick off their A Bigger Bang tour in Barcelona this Saturday, only to have the string of gigs postponed after Richards' coconut-induced concussion.
The accident-prone Rolling Stone suffered a high-profile spill on Apr. 27 while vacationing at Fiji's elite Wakaya Club, though the exact culprit--be it tropical produce or errant Jet Ski--is still unknown.
Richards was flown to Auckland's Ascot Hospital where the rumor mill quickly circulated reports that the felled guitarist was alternately undergoing a craniotomy for subdural hematoma or simply suffering from minor headaches.
While the reality likely lie somewhere in the middle, Richards' publicist was quick to deny that the 62-year-old had suffered any brain damage, at least as a result of his latest mishap.
Fran Curtis, the guitarist's London-based publicist, also put to rest a report from the New Zealand Herald that the Grammy winner had undergone not one but two surgeries to relieve pressure buildup and stop bleeding in his skull and that his condition was much more dire than originally let on.
"Keith Richards did not undergo a separate operation," she said at the time. "The first and only operation was done on Monday, May 8 and was 100 percent successful. There was no brain damage. He continues to improve as expected."
In fact, per Curtis, he recovered better than expected. She insisted Richards' sole surgery was minor: "...a small operation to relieve the pressure" from a mild concussion, and that he was already on the road to recovery, having been "up and chatting, and phoning New York" since his hospital release on May 10.
The rocker was discharged from the Down Under hospital but remained an outpatient at the center, required to return regularly for routine check-ups.
"Personally I would like to thank everyone at Ascot Hospital for the truly wonderful care I received," Richards said in a statement upon his release earlier this month. "From the doctors to the beautiful ladies who make the painful nights less painful and shorter...many thanks, Kiwis."
According to BBC News, Richards' better half, Patti Hansen, accompanied the rocker back to his Connecticut home.
A revised tour itinerary is expected to be announced later this week.
