After they tracked him down, shacked up in some fleebag hotel in Ireland, with an 18 year old cocktail waitress, Ronnie Wood entered a rehabilitation facility Wednesday for help with alcoholism, said a spokeswoman for the Rolling Stones guitarist.
“Following Ronnie’s continued battle with alcohol he has entered a period of rehab,” the spokeswoman said on condition of anonymity as required by her agency. “His close family and friends say he is seeking help and look forward to his recovery.”
Keith Richards was said to have threatened him with a knife and pistol to try to persuade Woody to sober up. His wife, Jo, and Mick Jagger helped persuaded him to enter rehab.
Wood, 61, has fought a long battle with drugs and alcoholism during his rock ‘n’ roll career, which started in the 1960s when he played with Rod Stewart and The Faces.
