Very glad they caught it and got it sorted. And glad he quit. It's not easy, but I'd love to see Keith kick it too.

Totally disagree, Keith's body is used to smoking for nearly 60 years , whenever life long smokers give up very late in life they don't seem to live for long after. Its a shock to the system. Keith's father made it to 90 smoking and drinking right to the end. Keith comes from the long life gene.

I'm pleased to see Ronnie's proactive action.

I'm just wondering about the timescale of this operation and when it was done.
This could well be the reason the summer tour failed to materialize.
The likelihood is that Ronnie had the entire lobe containing the tumor removed, ( the lungs are made up of 5 lobes, 3 on the right 2 on the left ) this would put him out of action for at least 2 to 3 months.
This is major surgery, key hole or not, and recovery time is similar to any other major surgery.

Never thought I'd say this, but no Ronnie, no Stones.

I would totally hate the idea of the Stones without Ronnie but I think they would conceivably carry on without him. I'd hate it but it could happen. Mick and Keith know that for a large part of the classic rock fan base, the Stones are Mick and Keith. Hopefully they would never go on without Charlie but even that's possible.

You never know, but I don't think Stones would go through the hustle of getting a new guitarist in the band at this stage in life. Specially now when Ronnie does the big job. Not even Blondie nor Waddy would look good as a Stones guitarist. Only if the tour was ongoing and they had to finalize the remaining of the tour and it would be expensive cancelling, such as 5-10 shows.
Had it been 15 years ago. Yeah, they would. They could easily add a good guitarist. Not now.

The Daily Mail at its best:

"Married in 2012...before announcing there were twins on the way' ...??
