IT emerged last week that my fave rock legends The Rolling Stones have shelved plans to tour this summer – but I can reveal that Ronnie Wood will still be hitting the stage.
The guitarist will join pal Sir Rod Stewart on stage at Glastonbury in June.

The Maggie May hitmaker is confirmed for the Sunday afternoon Legends slot and asked his former Faces bandmate Ronnie to be a guest.
A festival source said: “Rod is really excited about his big Worthy Farm gig and wanted to give a nod to the beginning of his career, so thought it would be fitting to bring out Ronnie.
“He knows the pair of them together will be a huge crowd pleaser.”
The old friends were last snapped together celebrating Rod’s 80th birthday last month in Mayfair, London.
Rod confirmed his Pyramid Stage gig on social media last year, writing: “After all these years, I’m proud and ready and more than able to take the stage again to pleasure and titillate my friends at Glastonbury.”
The Rolling Stones and their promoters had not been able to make the dates work for proposed gigs across the UK and Europe.
A source said: “There had been hope the gigs would take place this summer but it’s not worked out.
“And now it’s been shelved. But Mick, Keith and Ronnie love to perform live shows so there’s a hope that the promoters can lock in dates for next year.”
