WOOD LOSING BATTLE AGAINST BOTTLE
ROLLING STONES star RONNIE WOOD could slip back into alcoholism despite hopes his recent stint in rehab had stamped out his addiction.
The TUMBLING DICE rocker shocked fans at a Las Vegas show two months ago (NOV05) when he collapsed on stage, and is finding sobriety a "constant battle".
His son and manager JAMIE says, "It's very hard, it's a constant battle every day.
"You have to remember that in America my dad can't go outside because of the fans, so what do you do stuck in a room all day?
"The demons are still there. He still needs therapy and he might be prone to slip, that's what alcoholics do.
"If I said he'll never drink again, I'd probably be lying."

It says he shocked fans by collapsing but maybe it was just a few. I wish he could kick the habit... |

addiction is a live long battle whether booze or drugs (heroin/opiates). |

see the first review on IORR here : http://www.iorr.org/tour05/lv1.htm
I presume Bjornulf wrote that, although he insists he wasnt drunk (how he can tell is another story)
Interesting though that it wasnt really mentioned anywhere else in any reviews I've read
Smells like typical Daily Mail bullshit if you ask me
The header in the Daily Mail piece effectively suggests that Mick was/is on the verge of kicking him out of the band, but when you actually read the article it actually says that it was never a serious option

I kind of feel bad for Woody, on the one hand, on the other hand I don't. I've been "battling the bottle" for as long as he has. For what its worth, I like alcohol. I've just learned to control it...somewhat.  |

the glorification of alcohol by many on this board only betrays their ignorance as to what Woodie is going through

Don't ever believe any of the bile that the daily Mail has to offer in the way of 'News'. Unfortunately, my Stepmother reads this publication every day, as do I, just to see how a journal on fascism and bull shit actually gets away with it!
Fuck the Daily Mail, it's truly horrible and laughable at the same time! |

Actually the same techniques are used by mainstream news organizations. Who owns the Daily Mail? I'd bet its owned by some media conglomerate. It's bread and circuses type stuff. |

L'Wren Scott reportedly causing problems within the Rolling Stones
Mick Jagger's lover L'Wren Scott has reportedly caused a rift within the Rolling Stones.
The brunette stylist is said to be causing tension between Jagger and his bandmates because she is desperate to give the legendary group a makeover.
The 38-year-old former model, who has been romancing Jagger for four year, has joined the band on their Bigger Bang world tour - and has even said to be trying to get lifelong smokers Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood to quit. They are allegedly calling her the 'new Yoko Ono' after John Lennon's wife, who was accused of splitting up the Beatles after allegedly trying to take control of band decisions.
A source is quoted in Britain's Daily Mail newspaper as saying: "L'Wren has started throwing her weight around pretty quickly. She has made it clear she hates the fact that both Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood are chain smokers and has done her best to try and stop them smoking in front of her.
"L'Wren also feels the band should smarten up their appearance but sadly that is falling on deaf ears. Ronnie still wears his ugg boots everywhere, and as for Keith, well Keith of the bandana and the bare chest is not changing his style for anyone."
