Ronnie's an alcoholic; Keith's a drunk. Alcoholics go to AA meetings.

no need to be. Its not gossip however as Ronnie has been quite open about it

He went into rehab before each of the last two tours (partly on the advice of Mick who told him in 2002 he was concerned he wouldnt see the end of the tour unless he sorted himself out)

Ronnie not hanging out with Keith as much on the Licks tour as before - for his own self preservation more than anything - saw their relationship deteriorate somewhat. Its not a good sign as far as Ronnie's concerned to see reports that theyre going binge drinking together

His smoking will probably kill him even quicker though as he admitted a couple of years back he was on the verge of emphysema and had been told by doctors he would be dead within a year if he didnt quit. That particular addiction seems to have been harder for him to kick, but hes mostly managing it seems, although I dont think hes totally kicked it.

Thank God Keith is ok.....

maybe Ronnie is just drinking on his vacation and will sober up before the European leg - probably will as Mick will get on his case no doubt!

Keith on the other hand should definitely not stop drinking, it might affect his blood count. He should just stay away from coconut cocktails!

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

ok got it thanks for the clarification ....!

Nice story about something that Keith did for a Stones fan during his stay in hospital

Gazza,

That is an awesome story! It made me really happy. Cute little baby boy and he's such a proud daddy. I don't post over there, can you tell him how much we liked the pictures and story?

Wasn't looking too good, but I was feeling real well.

No - do it yourself. We wont bite your head off. ;-)

I just got so shy at the thought of doing that. The same feeling I get when I have to speak in public.

Oh well, I chickened out, he can read it over here instead.

personally, I'm going with the hammock-in-a-coconut-tree theory. covers all bases.

Yea, everyone knows those hammocks are tricky - but not spectacular.

"c'mon Keith, we can't say that, thats not a bigger bang"

get ya shirt on keith , let the good times roll , woo hooo

Too funny Gazza and SPUNK is not what Keith is short on!

We are so lucky KEEF didnt break his arm or his hand or his leg or anything! That could have meant the end of the tour! Sure hope these guys take it easy and stay out of harm's way, lol, so relieved Keef is OK.

I don't think Ronnie can quit so easily once he gets going again. I didn't think he was socializing with Keith because if you don't drink it' s kinda thought best not to hang around with drinkers much. I am indeed worried. Gazza, I agree with you.

As for Keith, thank god he is released from the hospital.
