Rocker Wood turns to flower arranging
Friday, October 17 2008, 15:40 BST
By Sarah Rollo

Ronnie Wood wants a Dutch artist to recreate a massive floral sculpture of The Rolling Stones for the group's next tour, reports say.

The rocker has apparently become obsessed with the original artwork, which was on show in Holland and depicted the English group entirely in blooms.

Wilting has ruined the one-off work, however, The Sun reports that Wood has now tracked down the artist and wants another one made to feature in the group's next tour.

Another fascination of Wood came to light last month when a friend revealed that the 61-year-old guitarist was once obsessed with painted nested dolls and has a collection stashed in his attic.

The London-born musician was recently exposed for having an affair with 20-year-old Russian waitress Ekaterina Ivanova. His estranged wife Jo said this week she will fight for their marriage.

Me thinks that Ronnie is being a bit presumptiuous about his continued employment within the Stones. I'll bet Mick is already talking to different guitarists as we speak.

And that's exactly what I was thinking....he may be in for a nasty surprise. Or a rude awakening.

I am quite sure Mick is not firing Ronnie....

and why should he? The guy did screw up on that drinking binge in the summer but otherwise you simply can't hold his romantic social ventures against the guy.

It is Ronnie's choice who he sleeps with and what he does in his love life and I'm quite sure Mick knows that even if he doesn't think it's a good thing or he doesn't agree. As far as drinking goes there hasn't been any real evidence he is back to drinking heavily since rehab from what I assessed. Sure a tabloid here and again but now even those have subsided.

So really, there is no reason to even consider firing him. Even if Ronnie was drinking heavily again Mick would first try relentlessly to get Ronnie help before he'd consider firing him. He got him help before the Licks tour remember (and who knows, maybe many more times than that).

And I think the same way too, enough is enough, Ronnie has had so many chances, & there comes a time when a choice has to be made, what's this, his 10th time in rehab?

I wasnt trying to be funny. And positive thinking about something is pretty pointless when you've no control over it.

Good points, I do agree.
It's not the first or the last marriage that went bad. ...and Mick has had his share Roll Eyes

I don't recall his band mates mouthing that up.
I guess we'd better just get used to his Ekatarina girl.

pushing up daisies soon? I don't see that in a near future, well - not more than for any other member of the band.
of course you never know when Mr.D comes knocking at the door. Shocked

yes agreed...i must say there is an air of prudery and "moral panic" coming from some posters about this which says more about them than it does about ronnie

fact is 50% of marriages fail - and the hurumphing and outraged tones that are often heard when an older guy hits it off with a younger woman are often deeply rooted in jealousy and envy and mostly come from older people - older men wish it was them getting the action - older women are resentful of the fact that men are, what ever their age, attracted to young (i.e. fertile) women

don't misunderstand me, Ronnie appears to have treated Jo very shabbily...but come on folks let's get real - none of us really know what the full facts of the situation are
