ROLLING STONES - 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."
