VARIED LOVE LIVES OF THOSE OTHER STONES

Born in 1941, the son of a British Rail lorry driver, Stones drummer the ultra-stoic Charlie

Watts, married Shirley in the late 1960s and had a daughter, Seraphina. They are officially the least rock ’n’ roll married couple in the music industry. Shirley once said how Charlie still tells her he loves her every single day. Asked was it love at first sight, Charlie replied: “Well, it was obviously very sexual, and I suppose that’s love as well. I just wanted her, I suppose. She was so funny and clever, and she had the most infectious laugh you’d ever heard. And I loved the world she was in, the world of art and sculpting. I just admired Shirley very, very much. I still do.”

Now 74 years of age, deathdefying Keith Richards — who dated the legendary and original rock chick Anita Pallenberg through his many drug addiction years from 1967 until 1980 and had three kids together: Marlon, Tara Jo Jo, (Tara died from sudden infant death syndrome at the age of two months in 1976) and Angela. He has been married since 1983 to the model Patti Hansen. They live a life of drugfree domestic bliss on their farm in Weston, Connecticut with their kids Theodora and Alexandra.

Born on June 1, 1947, Keith’s sidekick in The Stones, ‘new boy’

Ronnie Wood married Sally Humphreys, 31 years his junior, on December 21, 2012. Rod Stewart was best man. Ronnie and Sally have twin girls, Gracie Jane and Alice Rose, born on May 30, 2016. In 2008, he and long-term wife Jo divorced. They have two children together: Leah and Tyrone. Another child, Jamie, was adopted by Ronnie after Jo left his father, Peter Greene, while Jo helped raise Jesse, Ronnie’s son from his mid-60s marriage to Krissy Findlay.

Last year Ronnie, who once was a reckless user of hard drugs like, and often with, Keith Richards, was diagnosed with lung cancer. He had part of a lung removed, but like a true Rolling Stone would not have chemotherapy because he did not want to say goodbye to his famous spiky bird-nest barnet.

It’s only rock ’n’ roll but, clearly, they like it, like it, yes they do.
