How old is Ronnie Wood, what cancer did he have, who’s The Rolling Stones star’s wife and how many children does he have?
ROLLING Stone Ronnie Wood is a true rock legend who won legions of fans as one of the leading rockers of the 1970's.
Fans were shocked to hear that their idol had lung cancer in 2017 - here's the lowdown on rocker Ronnie's illness and his career.
Who is Ronnie Wood?
Ronnie Wood is most famous as a guitarist in the Rolling Stones and became a member of the band in 1975 after its previous guitarist Mick Taylor quit.
He also worked with George Harrison, Keith Richards and Mick Jagger on some solo music shortly before joining.
While before that he was part of another rock band, Faces, fronted by Rod Stewart.
Rock legend Ronnie is one of the biggest names in UK music and played in the band at the height of its commercial success.
His guitar playing helped create amazing hits like Miss You, Start Me Up, and Emotional Rescue.
He is 70 years old and was born on June 1, 1947.
What kind of cancer did Ronnie Wood have and is he recovered now?
Ronnie has admitted he was ready to say goodbye to his family after being diagnosed with lung cancer.
He had smoked 50 cigarettes a day for decades and only gave up when his two youngest daughters were born.
The Rolling Stone said the diagnosis led to the darkest period of his life.
The guitarist has also revealed how he took the agonising decision to have an operation rather than chemotherapy because he did not want to lose his hair.
He told the Mail he had a "supernova burning away on my left lung", but he was fortunate that it had not spread.
It was cut out in a five-hour operation and he has since been seen out and about at his book launch.
Who is Ronnie Wood married to?
Ronnie Wood's first wife was model Krissy Findlay, from 1971-1978.
He then met Jo Karslake in 1977 and struck up a relationship, and they married in January 1985. They were a real power couple of the rock world but it wasn't to last forever.
Their 34-year relationship came to a dramatic end in 2008 when he was caught cheating with 20-year-old Ukrainian cocktail waitress Ekaterina Ivanova.
But Jo revealed in February 2017 that she has forgiven the rocker for his cheating ways, and that the divorce is "the best thing that's ever happened to her".
Ronnie is now married to 39-year-old Sally Humphreys, who is 31 years younger than him. They wed in 2012.
