The Life of Krissy Wood

Krissy Wood was a model, legendary partygoer, and the wife of one of the members of the Rolling Stones. Her social life was always quite eventful, as was her personal life. She had relationships with two members of the Beatles and the guitarist of Led Zeppelin, in addition to her husband Ronnie Wood. Unfortunately, fate was rather cruel to her in her later years. She had to sell her possessions and even work in a supermarket to make ends meet. Krissy passed away at the age of fifty-seven from an accidental Valium overdose, which she used to cope with her depression. This happened on June 15, 2004.

Early Life and Marriage

Krissy Wood, originally known as Krissy Findlay, started her life at the top. She lost her virginity to Eric Clapton on her mother's couch in Ilford, according to her own words. At that time, she was just a modest girl from a strict Roman Catholic family and a student at a local grammar school. However, she was already a big lover of music and dancing. Krissy met Ronnie Wood when she was sixteen years old in 1964. She was a slender and delicate blonde with an incredible, almost ethereal beauty (which unfortunately faded over time). By that time, she had already tried her hand at modeling. Wood was playing guitar in the band Small Faces at the time. They got married seven years later in 1971. Rumor has it that it was his wife who helped Ronnie join the Rolling Stones after meeting Keith Richards at a nightclub. Keith and Ronnie became good friends and started writing music together. Moreover, Krissy was rumored to be the inspiration for the songs "Mystifies Me" and "Breathe on Me."

Rock 'n' Roll Lifestyle and Affairs

After Ronnie joined the Rolling Stones, their lives spiraled out of control in both good and bad ways. The income from performances allowed the Woods to buy an incredibly expensive house in Richmond. The name "Rolling Stones" soon made it a home for rock 'n' roll aristocracy. However, over time, the couple grew tired of their lavish lifestyle and started drinking heavily and seeking their own forms of entertainment. In the spring of 1973, Krissy and George Harrison traveled to Spain to admire Salvador Dali's paintings, according to Patty Boyd's stories. During that weekend, Krissy and George became lovers. When they returned home, they waited for their respective spouses at Harrison's house in Friar Park, Oxfordshire. Around the same time, Ronnie Wood began an affair with Patty Boyd.

Soon after, Krissy went to Los Angeles, where she began an affair with John Lennon, who was already married to Yoko Ono. According to rumors, it was Krissy who introduced Lennon to the record producer who later pointed a gun at him. Lennon jumped in front of Krissy to shield her from harm. In addition to their affair, Krissy and John attended one of Diana Ross's parties together. However, this romance didn't last long. John irritated Krissy by calling her "Patty," confusing her with Harrison's wife. Eventually, Krissy left John and went to New York to be with her husband. In New York, Krissy met Jimmy Page, and the three of them flew home together. In the UK, the Woods often visited Page at his house in Sussex.

A passionate romance between Krissy and Page began abruptly in the summer of 1974. After consuming alcohol, Krissy fell to the floor. When she regained consciousness, she felt a man's hands on her body and mistook them for her husband's. Jimmy's friend Charlotte left the party in anger, and the next day, Jimmy left Charlotte and went to Krissy. In 1975, Krissy traveled around the country with the Rolling Stones, while Jimmy was on tour with Led Zeppelin. By that time, she had already reconciled with her husband, but she still didn't plan on settling down. In the same year, she appeared before a court on charges of cocaine possession. However, the most significant event occurred in 1977 when Krissy gave birth to their son Jesse. By then, Ronnie had already met Jo Howard, his future wife. From this point on, their relationship started to deteriorate, and they soon separated. As part of their divorce settlement, Krissy received a weekly alimony payment. However, Ronnie later reduced the amount significantly when his income decreased. This financial setback deeply saddened Krissy, and according to rumors, she even contemplated suicide twice.

Financial Struggles and Tragic End

Financial problems were completely unfamiliar to Krissy since she had never worked a day in her life as a model. Rumor has it that she was so desperate for money that she even found a job at a local supermarket. A day before her death, Krissy spoke on the phone with a friend and appeared to be in good spirits. However, twenty-four hours later, she was found dead. More than a hundred and fifty people attended her funeral, including Ronnie Wood and his new wife, who seemed deeply saddened.
