Richards Shocked Wood'S Wife With Heroin Injection

Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood will never forget the first time his bandmate Keith Richards met his future wife - because the legendary hellraiser injected himself with heroin in front of her before saying hello.

Wood had arranged to meet his then-new girlfriend Jo for a romantic rendez-vous in a hotel room in Paris, France in 1977, but was several hours late after his plane was delayed.

When he did finally arrive at the hotel in the middle of the night, Jo was shocked to find Wood accompanied by Richards, who was in desperate need of a shot of heroin - and ended up staying for three days.

Writing in his autobiography Ronnie, Wood recalls: "I walked in (to the hotel room) and so did Keith. He went straight past Jo to a tiny table, never said a word, took out a spoon and started cooking up a hit. Jo stood there speechless, with her mouth wide open because she'd never seen anything like this.

"Keith shot up, then looked at her and said, 'You must be Jo, hello darling,' and gave her a big kiss. Jo glared at me. I simply said, 'You have to excuse my friend, we go everywhere together.'" A couple of days later, Jo was starting to get annoyed.

Wood adds: "Jo kept asking me, 'When are we going to get rid of Keith?' But we couldn't leave him there alone, in an opiate haze".
