Rod revealed it to Peter Crouch and Chris Stark on That Peter Crouch podcast, out now.
When asked by Pete (who we regularly see at Glasto looking rather worse for wear) if he stayed in touch with the Stones or Sir Elton John, Rod told him: “Not really, but Woody and I do a lot just recently because we are going to do Glastonbury together.”
When asked why they’d lost touch, Rod said it was because neither Ronnie nor Elton drink any more, adding: “I think they stay away from me.”
Rod hasn’t revealed whether Faces drummer Kenney Jones will be coming on stage too.

Kenney said of the songs, recorded at Rak Studios in London: “Most of them are good.
“I can’t see it coming out this year. But I can see it coming out next year.
“Everyone’s doing different things.

NATALIE PORTMAN styled out the rain with a brolly when she was invited to sit front row as Dior presented its Cruise 2026 collection.
She was joined by celebs including French actress Camille Cottin, above with Natalie, and Emily In Paris star Ashley Parks at the Villa Albani Torlonia in Rome, where brollies were handed out to keep the guests dry.
The fashion brand’s creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri had a strict guest code, with all the blokes made to wear black, while the women were in white.
Natalie looked thrilled to be at the event and off the promo trail for her new film, Guy Ritchie's Fountain Of Youth.

BRITISH music exports are booming, and rose to a record high of £794million last year.
New figures from the BPI revealed they increased by 1.9 per cent – the highest since the yearly survey started.
The feat is, in part, down down to the incredible rise of artists such as Dua Lipa, Central Cee, and Charli XCX, who are among the world’s most- streamed artists.
The figures also revealed we remain the world’s second-biggest exporter of tunes – with 600 British artists getting more than 100million audio streams worldwide.
Us Brits really are the best when it comes to music.

“Every day being a bit of a battle. Trying to eke the light out after what felt like darkness for ages.
"I’m really proud of the album in terms of the creative, sonic elements and how I dealt with truthful stuff.
“But also it’s an album of songs that hopefully make you feel better and make you nod your head and stamp your feet and sing along.”
