I wonder if his amp was turned on so the audience could hear him, or was it just posing..

I figured his actual health ...and the "Ronnies on deaths doorstep" thing was over blown. He looks fine, can sing fine, and "supposedly" hasn't drank in a good while.


Sure, all we know is a glimpse. We have no idea what goes on behind closed doors or what he's doing the rest of the time ....BUT that's the very point.... we simply have no idea.

From his night out and what he said he seems to be doin well. I figured all the story's in the time after his break up with the original rusky were pretty exaggerated. Just a few months back there were all kinds of news bits sayin the dude was totaly out of control, in a drunken oblivion, and on deaths doorstep.

Now we see and hear this news of him supposedly doin well and stone sober (no punn intended of coarse )during that time.

I was wondering?
Maybe I was wrong. I "thought" I read his break up occurred 4 months ago (I was like ....gee where did the time go...?) and he had not drank since then in the snipet.

Still, as u said... good to see he "seems" to be doin ok. Thing is... he really needs "professional" help to truly stop (or at least really curb) his drinking as well as his family and friends. I hope he is getting that as well.

Havent read anything to suggest he 'hasnt drank in a good while'.

And how anyone can deduce that someone 'can sing fine' based on a still photograph is a bit baffling, to say the least.

Good to see him out playing and to read that he's been cutting down, but thats not exactly a cure.

I see where your coming from. What I meant was the guy can get up on stage and hoot and hollar,  cut the rug for a night, and sing it up so he seems like hes doin ok. Not his actual vocal performance.

He's DEFENATILY not in any sort of safe zone your right. Until he gets on with the right people in a new way he could go back to bein a drunk at any time. Almost like a ticking time bomb.

My only skepticizm through all of this was that I didn't think the guy was gonna croke any time soon. Seems like hes an alchy sure ...but I didn't see him meeting his maker in six short months or quite in dire need of an immediate liver transplant either. Thats all I was saying.

Nothing like complaining about something to make it happen more!

True dat.

And going clubbing every night does give Mr. Paparazzi a lot of photo ops...

Now the Faces thing again. How many more times is this not going to happen.

Ronnie Wood goes back to rehab for the EIGHTH time

Ronnie Wood has gone back into rehab for an eighth stint, the Daily Mail can reveal.

The troubled Rolling Stones guitarist today arrived at a clinic in south London in a bid to conquer the alcohol addiction that has plagued him for years.

Wood, 62, checked himself into rehab after months of pleading by his family, including his worried daughter Leah and Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger.

Eighth time lucky: Ronnie Wood, pictured leaving a members club in London on Thursday night, has returned to rehab

The last time the hard-living musician went to rehab was in July 2008 before the wedding of Leah- shortly after he had left Jo, his wife of 23-years, for Russian cocktail waitress Ekaterina Ivanova.

The pair are believed to have led a ‘party’ lifestyle throughout their one-year relationship, with frequent all-night alcohol binges before their split in December.

It has only just weeks since Wood, who has fought a high-profile battle with alcoholism for years, proclaimed he had given up his party lifestyle, claiming: 'I don't drink any more.'

Last night, a friend said: 'Mick has always been helpful and supportive of Ronnie when he gets in trouble and falls off the wagon.

'The news Ronnie's decided to go into rehab is really pleasing for Mick. He has always urged him to get help when he's had his problems - and this case was no different.

A source, however, added there was no threat from the band that he would be sacked if he did not go into rehab.

The friend said; 'They've known him a long time and he's a great mate. They are all like brothers and they just like to look after each other when they're in trouble and not threaten one another.'

The crumpled musician, who has been renting a £4,000-a-month ‘castle’ called Ruxley Towers in Claygate, Surrey, had been in a ‘bad state of mind’ since his break-up with Miss Ivanova, 22, in December after the couple had a violent row, which saw Wood receive a police caution for the incident.

Miss Ivanova has since appeared on Celebrity Big Brother, but her former flame has wasted no time mourning the end of their relationship.

Wood has been seen with a string of young women, including PR girl Hannah Kamelmacher, 26, who dumped him after a three-day romance earlier this month.

His latest love is a striking Brazilian artist in her 30s and the pair have been spotted together frequently over the past week, including cuddled up in the back of a cab.

Wood seemed quite enamoured on Thursday as he carried his new girlfriend’s polo mallets at the Ham Polo Club in London.

A friend said: ‘Ronnie has been in a bad state of mind since his split with Katia.

‘They were in a terrible relationship, but since their break-up he has not been himself. He has been lonely and drinking and has tried to throw himself into new romances.

‘Jo and the entire family are just happy that he is seeking help again.’

Here's hoping the eighth time is the charm!

Since Ronnie said recently that he's given up the drink, maybe he's just looking for professional assistance to ensure he stays that way.

If this stint helps to finally achieve sobriety, good on him...
