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!
