Stones: Keith Richards didn't suffer brain damage

A spokesperson for The Rolling Stones has issued a statement refuting recent media reports that Keith Richards suffered brain damage from his recent fall while vacationing in Fiji.

Those reports also said the Richard had undergone two surgeries since the accident.

"Keith Richards did not undergo a second operation. The first and only operation was done on Monday, May 8, and was 100 percent successful," said a statement issued by band publicist Fran Curtis. "There was no brain damage. He continues to improve as expected."

The statement added that the European leg of the Stones' world tour, initially scheduled to launch later this month, will instead get underway in June.

Earlier this month, The Stones' camp issued a statement that said Richards had suffered "a mild concussion" while vacationing in Fiji, but didn't specify how he was injured. Various outlets have reported that the concussion was the result of a fall from a palm tree, a fall from a personal watercraft, or both.

Richards underwent "a small operation" Monday (5/8) to relieve pressure that had built up in his head as a result of the undisclosed incident, according to Curtis.
