Here’s some good news for you. Legendary Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood is doing well after he recently fought cancer for a second time, according to his ex-wife, Jo.

The rocker had secretly been battling small cell cancer during the first lockdown, but thankfully he got the all-clear earlier this year. This recent battle with cancer came three years after he was given the all-clear from lung cancer.

His second wife, Jo, told The Sun, “I’m very proud of him. I think they caught it early as he has a history of cancer in his family.

“It was very worrying, especially for the kids.

“But he’s much better. He’s going to be fine.”

Ronnie and Jo split in 2009 after 26 years of marriage, but have remained friends since. They have three children together (Jamie, 46, Leah, 45, and Tyrone, 37). 

Speaking about her friendship with Ronnie, Jo said, “We’ve got all those grandchildren and children together, so I think it’s really important to have a good relationship. We’re all a family. It’s all good.”

Ronnie, who has six children in total, married Sally Humphries in December 2012. Jo has revealed that she gets on well with Sally and the couple's four-year-old twins as well.

The ever-young musician celebrated his 74th birthday earlier this week.
