Well...for a given value of 'alive.'

I'm pretty sure he IS dead already, but his body is just walking around waiting for the heroin to wear off.

I hope he recovers soon!

Otherwise we'll have to reconsider that "cockroaches and Keith Richards" theory of the most hardy creatures ever created.

All kidding aside- best thoughts to you Keef!!!

he's here in new Zealand, and it looks serious - his Wife and Daughters are now by his bedside.

Also seen going in earlier in the weeK:

2x bottles of vodka.
2x strippers dressed as sexy nurses complete with red garter...
3x guitar cases.

All true.

Wouldn't it be sadly ironic if Keith were to die of falling from a tree as opposed to the vast amount of abuse he's caused his body?

I wonder if this wasn't drug-induced, anyway, just because, really, who falls out of a tree?

My father fell out of a tree while deer hunting, thank you very much.

Yeah, but there were drugs involved with him, too, right?

Who else finds it strange that this man survived 40 years of cocain, herion, and alcohol abuse while on tour, and his life is now put in serious risk because he fell out of a coconut tree? Life's a b!tch

Best wishes to him. Honestly. I just find the situation kind of strange...

Why was he climbing a tree anyway? Doesn't he have people for that?

Hang in there Keith!

Coconut tree, probably the munchies.

He'll be fine. You can't kill the dead.

Hope he recovers.

Passed him on the street some years ago in San Rafael. He looked like a zombie with a tan wearing a bandana! He had a beautiful girl with him.

That's about what he usually looks like. And he usually has a righteous babe with him. It's just that now she's probably the nurse.
