THE STONES ON.. Ronnie joining

RONNIE: “I was sitting on this sofa one night and Mick Taylor was there and Mick Jagger was there. At one point, Taylor leans over to Jagger and says: ‘I am leaving the band. And I am leaving right now’.

Mick asked if I would join and I said: ‘I thought you would never ask.’ My feet never touched the ground for many years.

“I had that feeling of coming home when I joined the band. Keith found his little brother.” KEITH: “Ronnie is my great mate. He is a funny f***er. What he brought was a whole new sense of purpose.”
