WOOD RECALLS LAST MOMENTS WITH DYING BROTHER
ROLLING STONE stars RONNIE WOOD and SIR MICK JAGGER found themselves in the same London hospital last November (06) when the rockers' closest relatives died in the same week.

Much was made of the death of Jagger's father JOE, but the news overshadowed the passing of Wood's musician brother ART.
Ironically, both Art Wood and Joe Jagger died within a week of each other - in the same Richmond hospital.
Wood tells British music magazine Mojo, "Art was in Kingston Hospital and within the same week Mick was there to see his father off. It was a strange week for us. Very emotionally tiring."
The double Stones tragedy came as the group were completing touring commitments in North America and Wood is grateful his brother waited for the rocker to fly back to London and say his goodbyes.
The guitarist recalls, "When I walked in (the room)... he said, 'Oh f**k.' I think they were his last words.
"We had four hours together. He couldn't talk, but we were communicating. I had all these wires and needles removed from him.
"I held his hand and said, 'Art, your spirit and your love will last forever.'"
