Richards discharged from hospital

Keith Richards has left hospital after surgery for injuries from a fall from a coconut tree in Fiji, but will need outpatient check-ups.

Well, this should hopefully put an end to speculation that he's on his deathbed. Keith Richards has been discharged from hospital following surgery for the injuries he sustained after falling from a coconut tree in Fiji. His publicist has confirmed that he is no longer in hospital, but that he will have to return as an outpatient for check-ups.

The Rolling Stone has thanked his doctors and "the beautiful ladies who make painful nights less painful and shorter... many thanks, Kiwis. I hope I wasn't too much of a pain in the arse - after all, it was my head that was fixed."
