Stones would love to play at the Games, says Ronnie Wood

Ronnie Wood told how he would love to perform for the Olympics - saying the gig would be a "once in a lifetime thing".

The Rolling Stones are celebrating their 50th anniversary this year. Guitarist Wood, 64, revealed that they had been in discussions about playing during the Games and in other concerts.

Speaking at the Elle Style Awards at the Savoy Hotel, Wood told the Standard last night: "Yeah, it would be fantastic. The Olympics coming to London is a once-in-a-lifetime thing and it would be too good an opportunity to miss."

Wood was a guest at the fashion magazine's annual awards, where model and actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was named top style icon. Christina Hendricks, who plays Joan Holloway in hit US show Mad Men, was named best TV star. Alexa Chung hosted the awards, which featured performances by Emeli Sandé with Professor Green.
