Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood was arrested this morning on suspicion of assault. I can confirm that there was an incident last night and that Ronnie Wood was arrested, a spokesperson for Wood said in a statement to Rolling Stone. He has since been released on police bail. We have no further statement to make at this time. Rolling Stone also verified that the victim of the suspected assault was Woods 21-year-old girlfriend Ekaterina Ivanova.
We can confirm that a 62-year-old man from Esher was arrested last night on suspicion of assault in connection with a domestic incident in Claygate High Street, a Surrey Police spokesman told The London Evening Standard, who have an account of the alleged events leading up to the suspected assault. He has this afternoon been released on bail until a date in January pending further inquiries.
As Rolling Stone reported last month, Woods relationship with Ivanova (who is 41 years his junior) resulted in his divorce from his wife of 24 years, Jo. The settlement in the divorce reportedly cost the guitarist £6.5 million on the grounds of adultery.
Cradle-robbing Wood and his home-wrecking slavyanka Ekaterina Ivanova during happier times.
I’m not sure what surprises me more - that 61 year-old Wood has a 21 year-old girlfriend, or that Wood actually made it to 61. It’s a tossup.
If there were ever poster-children for the stereotype that the British don’t age well, it’s the Stones. They’ve all ended up looking like witches from an old Disney movie.
Maybe it’s the dope that keeps them running this long.
To me, they have always played second fiddle to The Beatles.
Socialized medicine ?
Damn, the girl looks like she ought to be at a Hannah Montana show, not bedding down with a guy in the Rolling Stones.
That isn’t Ron Woods. It’s Rod Stewart.
He’s got a 21 year old GF because he’s filthy rich. Trust me....it isn’t true love on her part. In fact she looks like she’s ready to puke in that pic.
My brother dragged me kicking and screaming to a Stones concert in Missoula MT in 06. It was the best concert I’ve ever been to. I would have paid twice as much as I did for the ticket.
For a bunch of geriatrics, they sure can rock.
Any 62 year old guy who finds it necessary to his life to ‘date’ a 21 year old is A) certifiable and B) pathetic beyond all belief. Sorry this in my mind is the equivalent of sex with a child. There is NO common bond or understand between such disparate ages. He is old enough to be her grandpa.....If a Saudia cleric was interested in someone this young everyone would be appaled and yelling about child rape
I thought he might have assaulted one of the attendants at the retirement home.
Must be....because that's Rod Stewart.
I still believe Keef will outlive them all. When every last 60s rocker has been planted in the ground, the world will still have Keith Richards, shooting heroin and falling out of coconut trees.
Not Bill!
Except of course you don’t know the difference between Ron Wood and Rod Stewart.....dolt
