Ronnie Wood, 79, took to the stage at London's O2 Forum Kentish Town on Friday for an intimate solo performance, supported by his wife Sally, 48, and their twin daughters.
Wood was joined by singer Imelda May for the show, which precedes upcoming European and Latin American tour dates for The Rolling Stones. This marks Wood's first live solo performance in over 16 years. May, 52, has collaborated with Wood multiple times, including at the 2023 Jeff Beck Tribute Concert.
"I'm looking forward to kickin' a** with my back catalogue and some new songs – look out London!" Wood stated prior to the gig. He and his wife Sally, whom he married in 2012, have two daughters, Gracie Jane and Alice Rose, born in 2016.
