Ronnie Wood certainly knows a thing or two about classic moments in rock ‘n’ roll, having been The Rolling Stones’ guitarist for the past half-century.

As well as playing with the Stones and more recently moonlighting with the reunited Faces, Wood has also long been recognised for his work as a visual artist, putting his training at Ealing Art College to good use as a painter.

Wood’s paintings of fellow musicians get plenty of attention, and while it’s usually his depictions of his fellow Rolling Stones that grab the eye, he’s now turned his attention to an equally legendary star.

Ronnie has painted Queen frontman Freddie Mercury in his most iconic pose – with his fist raised in triumph at Wembley Stadium during Live Aid in 1985.
You can buy a limited edition print for £799, with a percentage of profits from the sale being donated to The Mercury Phoenix Trust, the AIDS charity set up in Freddie’s memory by his Queen bandmates following the singer’s death.
Printed on somerset enhanced velvet 330 gsm paper, each of the 250 prints is numbered and individually hand-signed by Ronnie.

“Ronnie’s study of @freddiemercury is a tribute to one of the greatest singers in rock ‘n’ roll history,” read a post on Wood’s Instagram.
