Ronnie Wood: 'None of us thought The Birds were going to be forever. I've always known that I was going to be established, go to America and be in the Rolling Stones.' After making a name for himself in his 1965 band, The Birds, Ronnie Wood went on to take America by storm with the Jeff Beck Group. He then went on to play with the Faces, before joining the Rolling Stones in 1975. Forty years later, the Stones continue to make music history. Ronnie Wood: 'I couldn't choose between music and art. If I chose music, I'd always be drawing, and if I chose painting, I'd always be playing.' Wood is also an acclaimed artist. His work has been exhibited across the globe and can currently be seen at London's Drury Lane Theatre. 'Ronnie is in the top flight as a musician, but he's also an artist, ' says art critic Edward Lucie-Smith, 'his striking study of Eric Clapton is worthy of the National Portrait Gallery'. Fans include President Bill Clinton, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Jack Nicholson, and Sir Peter Blake.
