Is that a new haircut?

If Stones tour tomorrow Mick will demand Ronnie wears a black rooster wig and maybe one of Micks 1990s fedoras.
Ronnie said to Rod after cancer #2 --- "Its good to be anywhere"

-- OK Joking!

Best Wishes to Ronnie and his family, and I'm sure all will be fine with his health.
He will be up and running by the time The Stones go live and back on stage.

God Bless You Ronnie.

Positive thoughts for Ronnie during his recovery, and wishing him and his family the very best!

Yes, he certainly does.

Ronnie looks like he actually has some flesh on his bones, which is nice to see. Rodney looks pretty good too, and of course the ladies. But I think Woody looks remarkable well for what he has been through.

Prednisone can make people gain weight, often where it isn't wanted. Therefore, not strange at all. Possible.

So does methadone and hundreds of drugs. And this one gets picked out of the air Yeah strange how people throw crap at the wall and wait for one to stick.

It is great to see a smile on Ronnie's face after all he has been through. He has great spirit. He did quit smoking I hope.

Yeah he stopped smoking before he got the first lung cancer, strange how when some life long smokers stop that the cancer shortly follows, i wonder if old bodies don't like change or shock to the system. Once you get to 70, you know 54 years of heavy smoking it's a bit late, the damage has already been done, and stopping might aggravate the system.
Having said that my friend has the same SCLC as Ronnie and has never smoked.

Same with life long drinkers, can't believe how many become sick or die after they stop drinking.

Don't try this at home though folks.

Many addicts continue their ways until it is over obvious it is killing them. By then the damage is done, they quit, but still the damage is done and the ultimate result of that damage soon follows. Hope Ronnie avoids that and looks like he is doing ok, but of course time waits for no one.

Only a third of alcoholics get liver disease, so heavy drinking is a gamble, not so much a gamble if you have weeks when you don't drink so your liver recovers.

Not sure Ronnie was ever a alcoholic in the true meaning of the word, he never missed a show, didn't even trip over and fall on stage, i can show you alcoholics, they don't look like Ronnie did in his 60s.

I think Ronnie surrounded himself with people that convinced him he was an alcoholic, i looked at Ronnie as an enviable drinker, he was in great shape for his age before he stopped, if it ain't broken don't fix it.

Many, many functioning alcoholics in the world.
Sure, there are degrees, progressions of alcoholism, like any disease,

But make no mistake, the way Ronnie has worked a program and speaks of his recovery, he is an alcoholic. His judgement to make via a "first step" in the program he's in, no one else's.

This has to be the most ignorant comment I ever read. How dare say that. A true meaning of the word? Youre sick.

Just saw this.. little confused as to wether this was the same day/event as with Rod, but GREAT to see Mick hanging with Ronnie, having a night out it seems.

(Bottle of wine Ronnie leaving with is likely a gift I'm betting)

Mick Jagger puts on a VERY animated display as he enjoys boys' night out with fellow Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood and Spandau Ballet's Gary Kemp

Mick Jagger could barely contain his excitement on Friday when he enjoyed a boys' night out with his fellow Rolling Stones bandmate Ronnie Wood as well as Spandau Ballet's Gary Kemp.

Sir Mick, 77, put on an animated display as he left Mayfair's popular Harry's Bar ahead of the weekend, flashing photographers his tongue as he hopped out of the venue looking typically stylish in pinstripe trousers and a black-and-white shirt that featured a TV static print.

The doting father was followed by rocker Ronnie, 73, and Gary, 61.

A heavy drinker is one thing, alcoholics tend to smell , piss themselves, don't show up for work and end up all alone and in the gutter.
I'm just saying I put Ronnie in the heavy drinking category, these days you're an alcoholic if you drink a few beers each day, its getting ridiculous.

Well, there are alcoholics and then there are drinkers who can handle it and lead a pretty stable life. Its just that they are rare. Ronnie seems to be one of them, and at least at some point he found it was hurting him more than helping, and quit. Although I think I recall more than one attempt, but whatever, that is his business and I congratulate him on whatever level of sobriety he attains and maintains, especially if he wants to do it. Remember, probably alcohol problems were a pretty low priority when it came to him actually straightening out his life, to whatever extent he did. There were much more pressing problems like cocaine addiction and who knows what else (I heard rumors of PCP there somewhere). All this shit leaves a scar on your life and on your body, and over the years the damage gets done no matter what they do to "recover".

So, my point is he is looking pretty good and I hope he keeps on feeling better. I am just wondering if he is really strong enough to go out on the road and with the temptations that come with it. That applies to all of them, actually, save maybe Darrell and some of the accompaniment. Its a simple fact that the body breaks down over time, and the regimen these guys have put themselves through for a long time now does have its physical consequences. And they do catch up with you.

Would he be on Prennisolone due to high calcium levels ?

Another reason his face and eyes look puffy might be because of poor kidney function due to Chemo.

Rocktiludrop,

You are so far off with your comments on this, with all due respect.
Your stereotypes went out some decades ago among alcohol counselors, researchers, and alcoholics.
Maybe do some reading on the topic.

Ronnie = an alchoholic, one who stopped drinking.

I know plenty on the subject, there are drinkers who develop problems through drinking, mood swings, anger, relationship problems, then there are full blown alcoholics, but between the two extremes there are so many different levels of ( problem drinkers ) alcoholics, in a way you are correct, what was once considered a party animal is now seen as an alcoholic, i personally knew so many alcoholics that have died long before they reach 50, i don't consider Ronnie or Keith as anything like them. Ronnie always stopped when he wanted to, unfortunately people i consider alcoholics can't do that.
What I'm saying is that anyone these days with a problem drinking is seen as an alcoholic, when so often those people sort out their issues and often go back to being social drinkers, or if they prefer like Ronnie they stop altogether, doesn't make them an alcoholic though, people go through tough times in life and drink can become a bigger part of their life at that period, but so many people do cut back when they feel the time is right.

I think what happened to Ronnie is he just got too old to pull it off, it happens, but from what I could see following his rock and roll lifestyle, he had a good time with it, unfortunately it just got messy for him in his 60s , its a young man game.

>Ronnie always stopped when he wanted to

You don't know that, cannot believe the press releases, he may struggle with it every day. Known my share of alcoholics and most of them are dead now too, way before their time, but I got to know them pretty well and could see the behaviour for what it was, self destructive. Ronnie seems good and all, but you never know and our man here has a history of being somewhat, well, off kilter at times.

jb

I really don't think Ronnie looks all that good. I hope and pray he has beaten it, but the latest pic has me doubting that.

My father was (is) an alcoholic. He went 50+ years of drinking before he got sober. I can tell you right now, he would have been dead in five years if he hadn't stopped. He was 75 then and hit 90 last year.

He had plenty of "issues" but addressing one's issues doesn't cure you of being an alcoholic; it just means you're an alcoholic who has fewer issues.

T@3

The world is not black and white, Rocktiludrop. I'm sorry people you knew passed before turning 50, that's very sad, but it doesn't change the fact that alcoholism doesn't fit in a tidy box.

I find your comments extremely tone-deaf and offensive. If Ronnie felt the need to seek intervention for his drinking habits/problem, then clearly he felt he had a problem. And I'm sure people around him pointed out issues that came with his alcoholism-- it's rare that people wake up one day and decide, "Gee, I don't want to chug this anymore" without the push of loved ones. It's not impossible, but it is rare. And your generalization of alcoholics...! I'm not even going to try to touch that one.

Anyway, I'm glad Ronnie got to meet up with Mick and Rod! I can't imagine how they all feel.
