THE ROLLING STONES TO TOUR WITHOUT WOOD?

THE ROLLING STONES are considering going ahead with their upcoming tour without troubled guitarist RONNIE WOOD.
Wood entered rehab last week (16Jul08) for the second time in a month amid rumours he had left his wife, Jo, for a 20-year-old Russian waitress.
And frontman Mick Jagger, 64, is reportedly keen to continue with the band's forthcoming tour of Europe - even if it means leaving Wood at home.
A source tells British newspaper The Daily Express, "Mick officially becomes a pensioner (retire) at the end of July and Keith (Richards) at the end of the year, and I think Mick wants to get another tour under his belt in case it gets to the point where he can't do any more.
"Ronnie has always had his drink and drug problems but his marriage was rock solid: Jo kept him together.
"What's happened now is just something else and Mick and everyone can't quite believe it. Mick is still dead set on going on tour and has even said that they will do the gigs without Ronnie if it comes to it."
