With the recent setbacks of guitarist Ronnie Wood, Jagger is worried about his band being able to pull off a 2010 tour.
A source close to the iconic rock group spoke about a recent meet-up, revealing, "Mick and Ronnie will talk things through in the New Year. They are old friends and Mick will obviously do everything he can to help him. But when it comes to the Stones, Mick has a real eye for detail and always ensures things run like clockwork. He’ll need to be convinced that Ronnie is still up to the job."
A rep for Jagger commented that the band members are constantly in touch, saying, "Mick has been very supportive of Ronnie over the holidays."
Ronnie Wood has been going through some rough times lately. The guitarist’s alcohol problems have resurfaced, and last month, he divorced his wife Jo, after leaving her for Russian waitress Ekaterina Ivanova.
Wood has since split with the waitress following an altercation, which led to his arrest for allegedly assaulting the young woman.
