NEW YORK, Apr 29 (Reuters) Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards suffered a concussion while on vacation in Fiji and is recovering, a spokeswoman said today.

Richards, 62, was was treated locally then flown to a hospital outside of Fiji as a precaution, Rolling Stones spokeswoman Fran Curtis said.

Curtis said Richards suffered a mild concussion earlier in the week. She said she did not know how it happened. He was still hospitalized today.

Along with lead singer Mick Jagger, Richards has been the backbone of the Rolling Stones since the 1960s. His history of arrests and drug abuse in younger years have given him the reputation as rock 'n' roll's ultimate survivor.

Earlier this month the Stones finished a tour of Japan, China, Australia and New Zealand.
