At the ripe old age of 67, Ronnie Wood and his Rolling Stones bandmates don’t pick up groupies anymore — they pick up board games and TV shows.
Wood and wife Sally, 36, shared that despite the band’s public history of groupies, sex and drugs, things have changed dramatically since the swingin’ ‘60s.
Jigsaw puzzles are a favorite of the couple: In an interview published Monday, Sally told the Telegraph, “We like them because they are very good for the brain.”
Backgammon is also another favorite pastime. Sally says she organized a tournament for everyone and it will resume when the band returns to the road in October.
Since the Stones don’t have the same energy anymore, the aging rockers fancy boxed sets of their favorite TV shows during their down time. “Being on tour jetlags you. You wake up every night about 9 p.m., just at the time when you would be going on stage. So now, instead, we watch 19 murder mysteries in a row. We’re on ‘Above Suspicion’ at the moment. Last one tonight!” said Ronnie.
The Stones love watching “Broadchurch,” “Happy Valley,” “Breaking Bad” and “Orange Is the New Black.”
“We had to send someone out at 4 in the morning when we were in Shanghai to get us the next series,” said Ronnie.
