After finding fame, Ronnie picked up a paintbrush again in the ’80s.
He previously said: ‘When I’m painting, I lose track of time. I’m absorbed. It’s great’.
It comes after the Rolling Stones are reportedly set to release their first album of new music later this year.
The album would be the first album by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie in 18 years and the first since the death of drummer Charlie Watts two years ago.
After a traumatic year, the trio are reportedly ready to look to the future, a source claims; “They’ve taken a hit in recent years, but the show goes on.”
The group, which released Live Kicks in 2004 and A Bigger Bang in 2005, is said to have gathered for studio sessions in New York over the past two weeks, joined by drummer Steve Jordan and bassist Darryl Jones.
A source told The Sun: ‘After Charlie’s death there was some uncertainty about what to do next. They had scheduled stadium dates under such pressure, but afterwards it was unclear what the future looked like.

“They’ve had problems in recent years, but the show goes on, and the Stones always do.”
The source added that the rockers are planning a “big tour” after the album, which will likely include countries in the US, South America and Europe.
