Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards is on the mend and is ready to tour again after undergoing head surgery two weeks ago.

Jo Wood, wife of Richards' bandmate Ronnie Wood, told the Evening Standard Richards was well on his way to a full recovery.

"Yes, he had an accident but Keith's as strong as an ox, really he is. He'll bounce back. Keith always does. He's fine and the tour will continue - it just might have to restart a bit behind schedule, that's all."

The 62-year-old rocker is recovering after the surgery, which was prompted by a mild hemorrhage in his brain caused by a fall from a palm tree in Fiji last month.

At the time of his accident, Richards and the Stones were in the middle of their "A Bigger Bang" tour. The European leg of the tour was postponed due to the guitarist's ailment, but will resume again in June.
