The pair are due to reform their 70s band The Faces for a series of shows later this year and Rod is determined to ensure Ronnie - who is currently in rehab following drinking binge with 20-year-old Russian waitress Ekaterina Ivanova - is well enough to perform.

A source said: "Rod says that if Ronnie's not back to full speed by September, he's going to step in and get him better. I think he wants to offer him a haven away from his mad world."

Ronnie Wood is in love with both his wife and his girlfriend. The 61-year-old Rolling Stones guitarist - who has been having an affair with 20-year-old Russian waitress Ekaterina Ivanova - reportedly confessed his feelings for wife Jo, 52, and his young mistress to fellow patients at a rehab facility.

He said: "I love my wife - but I have a girlfriend and I love her too."

The Rolling Stones will tour next year with or without Ronnie Wood. Frontman Sir Mick Jagger is determined to embark on a European "mini tour" even if guitarist Ronnie - who is currently in rehab following his well-publicized alcohol binge with 20-year-old Russian waitress Ekaterina Ivanova - is not fit to perform.

A source said: "Mick officially becomes a pensioner when he turns 65 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 Wood flew home from Ireland to face his wife yesterday.

Ronnie Wood has allegedly left his wife for a Russian teenager.

The Rolling Stones guitarist, 61, has taken Ekaterine Ivanova, 18 - a cocktail waitress who he met while out drinking - to his luxury home in County Kildare, Ireland, and she has already bragged to friends they are a couple.

Ronnie Wood is selling his artwork on eBay.
