I guess Keef had run out of things to do.

Wellington, New Zealand

Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards suffered a mild concussion while vacationing in Fiji and was flown to a New Zealand hospital for treatment, a band spokeswoman said Saturday.

Media reports said Richards fell out of a palm tree and remained hospitalized in Auckland.

Richards, 62, suffered a mild concussion while on holiday in Fiji earlier this week and was flown to New Zealand, band spokeswoman Fran Curtis said in a statement.

"Following treatment locally and as a precautionary measure, he flew to a hospital accompanied by his wife, Patti, for observation," Curtis said.

5. "Sleeping like this will add ten years to your life. I learned it...

...from Keith Richards when I toured with the Stones. This may be the reason why Keith cannot be killed by conventional weapons."

10. An accident! NZ will give him free health care.

Even for visitors.
If it's an accident, and all you have to do is say it is, your bill is covered.

They're so decent down there.
