Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood was a guest performer with One Direction on "The X Factor" U.K. Season 11 finale at Wembley Arena in London, on Dec. 14, 2014. Wood and One Direction performed One Direction's "Where Do Broken Hearts Go?" on the show.
Wood has publicly said how much he dislikes "The X Factor" and the show's creator/executive producer Simon Cowell, but back in 2012, Wood said he was open to collaborating with One Direction, the mega-successful boy band that was created by Cowell and "The X Factor" U.K. in 2010. One Direction's Harry Styles told the Daily Mirror in March 2012: “We were at a party a while ago and Ronnie said he wanted to come on with us and play guitar. I love the Stones, so I was like, ‘Cool.’ It’d be amazing.”
One Direction members Styles and Niall Horan are big fans of the Stones, since they were seen at a Rolling Stones concert in Washington, D.C. in June 2013, and were hanging out backstage with Wood and his wife, Sally. In addition, Wood and his wife attended the world premiere and after-party of the documentary film "One Direction: This Is Us" in August 2013.
Styles in particular seems to be heavily influenced by the Rolling Stones' image. When One Direction first became world-famous in 2011/2012, Styles dressed like a preppy schoolboy. Now, Styles dresses like Keith Richards used to dress in the 1980s (headbands, tight jeans, boots). Styles has also grown his hair out to look similar to how Richards wore his hair in the 1980s. In 2012, there was a rumor that Styles was in discussions to portray Mick Jagger if the "Exile in Main Street" feature film is ever made. Styles has since denied that rumor.
