Rolling Stones Guitarist Ronnie Wood once duped his insurance company into a $70,000 loan to fund his drug habit, according to his new book, Ronnie. The hard-partying musician reveals the extent of his financial mess after discovering crack cocaine in 1979, which escalated in the illegal borrowing of money.

He writes, "The first hit is totally euphoric but you never get back there so you're always chasing that first time. It got to the point where I would be on my hands and knees looking for crumbs that might have fallen out of the pipe. I even banned my children eating meringues in the house after I ended up smoking sugar, believing it to be cocaine. Things got so bad for me that I convinced my insurance company to let me have a $70,000 home improvement loan. When I received the check, I put Tarmac down on a new driveway, painted the kitchen green, and spent the rest on dope in just six weeks."
