The Rolling Stones May Drop Ronnie Wood!

wenn223403rollingstones.jpg

The Rolling Stones have given guitarist Ronnie Wood an ultimatum - kick the alcohol addiction or he'll be dropped from the upcoming Stones tour!

Wood's ex-wife, Jo, reportedly kept the aging rocker in check, with Mick Jagger even relying on Wood's former wife as a "conduit through to Ronnie."

"[Mick] has relied on [Jo] to get Ronnie to work, to keep him well enough to pass a medical for the tour," said an insider close to the group.

The source explained the group's problem with Ronnie in more detail:

Without Jo, Ronnie would never have managed to go on tour, you can't do it without insurance, and you won't get insurance without the medical. It's always been up to Jo to get him through all that. All communication has gone through Jo for years, so now Mick has washed his hands of Ronnie. The feeling is that he can't come back after this one. Ronnie has always been a bit lost, and, without Jo, nobody can reach him.

We hope Wood wises up and checks himself into rehab - pronto!

      I'm all for variety and showcasing different musical tastes. You are free to enjoy whatever music (or none) that you want.
      But sorry, I cannot let a negative comment about The Beatles go by without throwing in my 2 cents.
      Can't go into it here, but The Beatles wrote all their own music .. from pop to psychedelia. THEY KNEW HOW TO WRITE A GREAT POP SONG.
      Their influence is well-documented and countless musical acts were inspired by them. So much material is out there .. most incredible band of all time.

      OMG! These guys look ancient! They've aged terribly.

      that's funny last week I saw 1970 Jagger classic "Performance" on turner classic movies underground and there's a fave line in the movie where James Fox says to Mick Jagger"Your a comical geezer!You'll look funny when your fifty".Truer words never spoken.
      I love the Stones(And the Beatles) as much as the next guy but Jesus guys your old enough to be MY Dad(And I consider myself OLD!)
      Pack it up guys!

      You mean to tell me KEITH RICHARDS can pass a physical?????



    14. 14

      I hope Jo doesn't go back to him. She's so much better off on her own. She looks like she's actually enjoying her life for a change. Probably because she doesn't have this boulder dragging her down anymore. Ronnie was a douche for leaving her for that drunken Russian whore.



    15. 15

      Jo stole Ronnie from his first wife, this may be karma for that. Then again maybe living with him for so long was the karma!

      Straighten your ass up Ronnie!!!!!

      Re: GoyaBean – That's because they ARE ancient. They haven't aged terribly at all. Just what do you think their age looks like? Regarding Woods; he's played with the Byrds, Jeff Beck Group, The Creation, Small Faces,
      Quiet Melon, The New Barbarians, an infamous set with Bob Dylan, and has contributed to or worked with a long string of artists. He plays more than one instrument, is an accomplished artist, and has three books to his credit. All that being said, he needs to lay off the sauce. It can kill ya at his age.

      Not to mention his work with the Rolling Stones. Lol.

      Re: GoyaBean – Hello-they're all approaching their 70's-of course their 'aging'. Or did you expect them to look like spring chickens forever just because their Rock stars?



    19. 19

      What Jo did for the group was a good thing and they should thank her for that. BUT she basically enabled Ron for years and years. THAT he didn't need.
