Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood has left his wife of 23 years for a 19-year-old Russian cocktail waitress, said the New York Daily News. Wood met Ekaterina Ivanova at a bar in London in April, and has spent a week shacked up with her at his home in Ireland. Wood’s friends say he’s been drinking two bottles of vodka a day and his judgment is clouded. “Mick [Jagger], Keith [Richards], and Rod [Stewart] have been calling and saying, ‘What the hell are you doing?’ but nothing’s getting through,” a source told the London Daily Telegraph.
