Keith Richards Comes Home

Finally after spending almost a month in New Zealand and Fiji, Rolling Stone, Keith Richards has returned to his home in Weston, Connecticut. Richards had to undergo surgery last month after suffering a concussion when he fell from a palm tree while on vacation in Fiji.

According to an article on People a spokesperson for the legendary rocker was quoted as saying,"He is feeling great, happy to be home and looking forward to getting back on the road with the Rolling Stones next month." The article also added that a source close to Richards said, "He's in good form and chatting to Patti." Keith's wife, Patti Hansen was also on vaction with him at the time of the accident.

Now that Keith is on the mend and will hopefully re-join the "A Bigger Bang Tour" the question of the two cancelled Paris dates is still up in the air. As EiTB reports the band's official site has confirmed that their date in the French Riviera city of Nice on August 8th is still a go, but no word on the Paris dates as of yet.

The 62-year-old Rolling Stone has been in New Zealand, during which time he had brain surgery (See Rolling Stone Keith Richards Has Head Surgery). Earlier, Richards' publicist, Fran Curtis, had addressed rumors that Keith needed two surgeries to repair the damage done to his head (See Keith Richards' Publicist: 'There Was No Brain Damage'). Richards was originally taken to Ascot Hospital in Auckland, New Zealand, and released, though he was re-admitted after suffering from severe headaches (See Keith Richards Out Of New Zealand Hospital).

Keith Richards is no stranger to accidents. In 1990, Keith Richards punctured his finger on a guitar string, and the wound became infected. In 1998, Richards fell off a ladder in his library of his Connecticut mansion, which caused three broken ribs and a punctured lung. In both instances, the Rolling Stones were forced to postpone concerts.
