My thoughts exactly! Would be surprised if Ronnie Wood doesn't see 2019. What happened to that young Russian chick he was seeing for a while about 10 years ago?

time 8,575 Posted January 1, 2018 Wood was briefly considered for my Ronnies team and discarded, so no doubt he'll keel over this year thus further illustrating that I don't know what I'm doing and the committee do! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GossipGabe 333 Posted January 1, 2018 10 hours ago, Joey Russ said: Tbf, the cancer that Wood did have was lung cancer, which is one of the more lethal types when it eventually returns. I think his death is very unlikely, but he could surprise us. Yeah, regardless of the (not that significant) age gap, Ronnie might be a better choice, since recurrent/metastatic lung cancer is usually terminal and he forwent adjuvant chemotherapy to preserve his hair. (A bit vain – I certainly wouldn't have done that with two very young kids.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MDavidSteel 15 Posted January 2, 2018 The most likely of the stones to keel over would be Mick for sure he just looks awful to say the least. Could hardly consider the bass player dying. I really doubt that Ronnie would. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,616 Posted February 26, 2018 So - reality check - those dates are massive, turning over millions of pounds and someone has already picked up the job of insuring them against cancellation. Therefore they've had to take Ronnie's current state of health into consideration and they reckon him good to withstand the rigours of the tour. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,063 Posted March 28, 2018 Ronnie Wood 'All Clear' After Lung Cancer Scare Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood revealed in a new interview that he is now cancer-free after being diagnosed with "a touch of lung cancer" in 2017. "I had three months of check-ups and it was all clear and they said go and enjoy life," Wood told Metro. Wood had a part of his lung removed after doctors found "this supernova burning away on my left lung," he said last August. Fortunately, the cancer didn't spread to other parts of the body – "If that had happened it would have been all over for me" – and the guitarist didn't require chemotherapy, which was good news as Wood didn't "want to lose my hair," he told Metro. "If your body is riddled with cancer, it’s a losing cause. Luckily, all mine was contained within the left lung and I was fortunate enough to get shot of it, bang. There was none in the rest of my body so I didn’t require chemo," Wood added, marveling that his lungs didn't "explode" after smoking cigarettes for over 50 years. Wood has since quit his nicotine habit. Wood also doled out some advice for those dealing with cancer. "Just be strong and remain positive," he said. "I was prepared to remain positive to my dying breath. I’ve had a great life and I was all ready to go. Wow! I didn’t know I was going to be given the ticket to last this long. What a reprieve." With a clean bill of health, Wood will join the Rolling Stones on their upcoming European tour. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/ronnie-wood-all-clear-after-lung-cancer-scare-w518481 https://www.metro.news/ronnie-wood-on-the-bands-new-tour-exploding-lungs-and-the-ultimate-frontman/992188/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,063 Posted May 27, 2018 I was about 10 ft away from Ronnie at one point on Friday night, and while he looks as cadaverous as ever he was running around like a spring lamb. Some excellent photos of him and the other wrinklies on this page, scroll down past the reviews. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,616 Posted May 27, 2018 Aye, this one's not looking the best dead pooling call - all the reviews suggest he and Keef are both on it in terms of trading licks and generally enjoying themselves with random moments of musical tomfoolery on this tour. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great at their best but Jagger pretty much hijacked them from the point he realised his solo career was never gonna fill stadiums and they've become the benchmark for "heritage" acts ever since. It doesn't have to be that way I have loads of respect for some people - Neil Young, ZZ Top, Jackson Browne and even Dylan (who I reckon over-rated) - for the way they've used their late careers to churn out original work that takes chances and sometimes veers into territory they've never explored before.
