STONES RON WOODS BROTHER DIES

RON WOOD

Ronnie Wood's brother has died of cancer.The 59-year-old Rolling Stones guitarist flew back from America - where the band are currently on their 'A Bigger Bang' world tour - after being informed that Art, who is also a musician, had lost his six month battle with cancer. He was 69. A source said: "Ronnie is devastated."The tragedy is the latest in a string of misfortunes the band has experienced since they embarked on their world tour last year. In April this year, guitarist Keith Richards suffered a brain injury after he fell from a tree while on holiday in Fiji. In August, the band was forced to cancel a concert in Spain, after lead singer Mick Jagger developed laryngitis. The latest blow to the rock veterans came last weekend, when Mick's 95-year-old father Joe suffered a fall at his home, breaking two ribs and puncturing a lung.
