Tues Rock Roundup for 071106

Keith Richards has recovered from brain surgery, Ronnie Wood is out of rehab, and Charlie Watts is still in remission following his bout with cancer last year. So The Rolling Stones have been given the all-clear to tour again, starting tonight in Milan, Italy. As far as the tree Richards fell out of goes, Mick Jagger and Ron Wood point out that it was shorter than Richards, with Keith confirming that it was "a little tree." Keith also confirmed that he will make an appearance in Pirates of the Caribbean Three, saying he will film his role over a week in September.

A plaque honoring late AC/DC singer Bon Scott was stolen from his gravesite over the weekend. The plaque was placed at the site only five months ago, and was discovered missing when some fans visited the grave to mark what would have been Scott's 60th birthday. The organization that paid for the plaque, National Trust of Australia, says it plans to replace it as soon as possible.

Heather Mills-McCartney is back with husband Paul McCartney, but in address only. The former couple are still split up, but she has moved into the estate's guest house to try and regain some of her privacy.
