RICHARDS FACING BRAIN DRAIN

LATEST: KEITH RICHARDS needs to have blood drained from his skull before he can rejoin THE ROLLING STONES' world tour.

The 62-year-old was airlifted to Auckland's Ascot hospital suffering concussion after reportedly falling out of a palm tree while on holiday in Fiji last week (27APR06).

The BROWN SUGAR guitarist was discharged earlier this week (begs01MAY06), and he will undergo drilling to his skill to drain away bleeding caused by the tumble before The Stones' European dates kick off later this month (27MAY06).

An insider tells British newspaper The Sun, "Keith's accident has turned out worse than everybody feared.

"After the tests doctors decided they should drain his skull. It has given him a scare but he has been told that he should make a full recovery once it's done."
