Several web sites are reporting that Keith Richards has been cleared to portray Jack Sparrow's father in the third Pirates of the Caribbean film following his recent surgery. Richards underwent a procedure last month to remove a blood clot in his brain that resulted from a fall.
Keep To The Code News has been unable to verify this information through any credible sources; Richards himself only commented, "Excuse me, I fell off of my perch! Sorry to disrupt everyone's plans but now--It's FULL STEAM AHEAD! Ouch!!"
The Rolling Stones, with Richards back on board, have announced their retooled "A Bigger Bang" European concert schedule for the period July 11-September 3 with tour dates in Italy, Germany, France, Spain and the UK, among other locations.
Filming on the third Pirates feature film is scheduled to resume in late summer/early fall; no official announcement regarding Richards' participation has been released. It is currently not known how, if at all, the Stones' "A Bigger Bang" tour schedule may or may not fit into the third film's production schedule.
