Stone Rolls Downhill

Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood has had to readmit himself to the Priory (a London rehab clinic) for alcohol abuse. The band seems unabashed by the news. Keith Richards shrugged: “So what if Ronnie’s in rehab? He likes it there”. Mick was equally bothered: “it was a 40 year habit” and Charlie: going on tour “without alcohol it’s a bit boring”. The news comes at a bad time for Stones fans hoping to see them performing live on their Bigger Bang European tour. Although Wood’s spokesman has assured press that he: “will definitely be fit for the first night”.

No doubt Regular Ronnie’s Priory bed was still warm. He checked in this time last year after an incident at a restaurant with his wife and supermodel pal Kate Moss. A mole told The Sun: "He had clearly been drinking and caused a scene by crawling under the table, pretending to bite people's ankles." Hopefully his stay will be a brief one this time around. They already had to postpone the tour earlier in the year after Keith Richards had to undergo brain surgery. He fell out of a coconut tree in Fiji.
