Faces' Lane Stopped Ronnie Wood From Joining the Rolling Stones

(Gibson) Talking to the Independent newspaper, while puffing on an electronic cigarette, Ronnie Wood let slip that he could have been a Rolling Stone long before he joined the biggest band in the world.

Last year's Sony Radio Personality of the Year said: "They rang up once when I was rehearsing with the Faces in Bermondsey, and Ronnie Lane picked up the phone and said, 'No, Ronnie's quite happy where he is.'"

With hindsight, Wood thinks that Lane may have done him a favor. "Five years later I found out... I wasn't ready for it though, I'd have been a junkie or OD-ed or something." more on this story
