Rolling Stones star Ronnie Wood has lined up troubled singer Amy Winehouse for a collaboration on his forthcoming solo album.

The legendary guitarist is to take a break from his commitments with the band to work on his latest solo LP - a collection of retro cover versions.

And Wood is in talks to sign up the Back To Black hitmaker to provide the vocals, also naming Serge Pizzorno of British rockers Kasabian as another possible collaborator.

He says, "I might be collaborating with them on my new solo album. I might do covers of 1970s hits, maybe the odd Dolly Parton song."
