Keith Richards seems unkillable. The 62-year old Rolling Stone guitarist, notorious for "his near-miraculous ability to survive the most debauched excesses of the rock & roll lifestyle", has eluded Death yet again. He had an accident while on vacation in Fiji: it hasn't been confirmed whether it was a Jet Ski accident or a Gilligan's Island-esque fall from a coconut tree. Whatever the cause, the resulting head injury created a subdural hematoma. Today's surgery seems to have solved that.
I throw Richards in the same mortality category as Iggy Pop and David Bowie: how the hell did you survive the 70s , given the copious amounts of narcotics they were ingesting?

Doctors Save Keith Richards' Brain - Yahoo! News: "The Rolling Stones guitarist underwent minor surgery in a New Zealand hospital on Monday for a 'mild concussion' he suffered from a spill he took while vacationing in the South Pacific last week, according to his London-based spokesman.
'The operation was a complete success, and Keith is already up and talking with his family today,' the rep said in a statement.
The New Zealand Herald reported that Richards, 62, was recovering after doctors relieved a subdural hematoma--a blood clot to his brain--that can result from jostling to the head."
