‘It Could Have Been Curtains.’ Rolling Stone’s Ronnie Wood Reveals Cancer Diagnosis

Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood revealed he was diagnosed with lung cancer earlier this year.

"‘There was a week when everything hung in the balance and it could have been curtains – time to say goodbye," the 70-year-old rocker told Mail on Sunday's Event Magazine. "You never know what is going to happen."

Wood, who gave up smoking one year ago when his twin daughters were born, told Event he was skeptical he could escape 50 years of chain smoking unscathed.
