The 62 year-old star and member of the legendary rock group performed with the band Tuesday night in Milan as part of the A Bigger Bang tour. During the show, lead singer Mick Jagger talked about his mate’s recent injury. He also tied his comment to the World Cup, making a comparison to Richards and Italian footballer Marco Materazzi. "Materazzi and Richards have something in common – they both recently had head-related problems," he said.
The Rolling Stones were forced to delay 15 concerts of their tour after Richards fell from a tree while vacationing in Fiji. The band’s tour will take them to Austria, Germany, France, Sweden, Portugal, Spain, England, Norway and Denmark.
