Keith Richards has been airlifted to hospital with a serious head injury after falling out of a palm tree.

The Rolling Stones guitarist was reportedly trying to climb the tree with bandmate Ron Wood. The pair were holidaying together at an exclusive resort in Fiji.

62-year-old Richards was taken to a private hospital in New Zealand then transferred to another in Auckland.

His family were with him on holiday and his wife Patti Hansen is with him in hospital.

The star's condition is not known.
