Ronnie Wood To Beat Drink For Sake Of The Rolling Stones

Ronnie Wood is determined to kick his drink problem so that he can continue as a member of the Rolling Stones, according to a new report.
As we reported previously, Wood entered rehab earlier in the month, after a well publicised incident involving an alleged affair with a Russian bargirl named Ekaterina Ivanova.
A source claims Ronnie told Stones frontman Mick Jagger this weekend, that he promised to be healthy again to tour with the band "before 2010", after the rockers recently announced they would tour with or without him.
A source told People magazine. "He [Wood] wants to get better for his family - but also for the band. They want to keep touring as long as they physically can and Ronnie doesn't want to let the others down."
"He is doing really well in rehab and everyone close to him hopes he will make a full recovery and quit drinking once and for all. Mick has been really supportive and is delighted Ronnie has finally seen sense."
The Rolling Stones last week signed a new deal with Mercury Records, after leaving their home of 30 years at EMI.
