Exclusive Peek Behind the Scenes: Ronnie Wood Rubs Shoulders with Mick Fleetwood at Rolling Stones Concert!
Fleetwood Mac’s Mick Fleetwood was recently spotted getting the backstage treatment from Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood. The two music legends shared a heartwarming moment backstage at a Rolling Stones show in Glendale, Calif. Wood took to Instagram to share a smiling photo of himself with Fleetwood and his family just before the show kicked off, expressing his joy at reconnecting with an old friend in the music industry.
The Rolling Stones are currently on their Hackney Diamonds tour, which began on April 28 in Houston. Bandleader Mick Jagger expressed his excitement at being back in Texas as the band played to a sold-out crowd at the NRG Stadium. The setlist included iconic hits like “Start Me Up,” “Paint It Black,” and “Out of Time” during their two-hour performance. The tour will take them to various major cities across the US, providing fans with an electrifying live music experience.
Hackney Diamonds marks the band’s first album release since 2005’s A Bigger Bang and their first without drummer Charlie Watts, who sadly passed away in August 2021. Despite this loss, the band continues to captivate audiences with their timeless music and energetic performances.
While Mick Fleetwood has been relatively low-key in recent years, he remains active in promoting music education through the Mick Fleetwood Foundation. This philanthropic work reflects his commitment to supporting aspiring musicians and preserving the legacy of rock music for future generations.
In a poignant tribute, Fleetwood honored his late bandmate Christine McVie, who passed away at the age of 79 after a brief illness. He fondly recalled her musical contributions, particularly her iconic song “Songbird” from Fleetwood Mac’s 1977 album Rumours. Fleetwood’s heartfelt statement underscored the profound impact McVie had on his life and the enduring love they shared through their music.
At the Grammy Awards, Fleetwood paid tribute to McVie with a touching performance alongside Bonnie Raitt and Sheryl Crow, reminiscing about the cherished memories they created together. His emotional tribute highlighted the lasting influence of McVie’s music and the indelible mark she left on the world of rock and roll.
