Rolling Stone legend Ronnie Wood has revealed that his eyesight is so bad that he can barely see the audiences while performing.
The 65-year-old musician, who has battled years of drink and drug abuse, said his vision has got blurred, reported Daily Mirror.
"If I ain't got my glasses on I can only see the first couple of rows. I am waving at imaginary people because I need glasses for long distance.
"The other day with the signs people hold up, I asked Mick 'What does that sign say?'. And he said, 'I think it says you're rubbish'," he said.
During the celebration of the band's 50 years together, Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, 69, talked about ageing.
"If I was stone deaf I could still play as long as I could see Charlie's left hand," Richards had said.
The band is gearing up for their upcoming concert at the Glastonbury Festival.
