Jimmy Page in Brazil
The report hits the period when Jimmy Page lived in Bahia. Between 1994 and 2008, he was married to the American Jimena Gómezbased in Brazil, and set residence in Lençóis (BA), albeit without abandoning London fully.

According to the survey, Page had three houses in Lençóis and also enjoyed visiting Salvador. The author tells, in an interview with Igor Miranda websitethat the fact that it was not so much harassment of fan and press in Bahia was something that pleased the guitarist:
“There are several reports that he was not recognized in Salvador as it would be in Rio or Sao Paulo. That was what he liked in Bahia. He felt very comfortable leaving the streets of Salvador, even to buy a cigarette around the corner. I think he managed to be anonymous for a long time.”

Ronnie Wood, in turn, did not live in Brazil, but was in the country with the Rolling Stones several times. The first ticket was in 1995, on the album tour Voodoo Lounge (1994). Interestingly, decades earlier, he appeared in a promotional photo of the album Black and Blue (1976), his first with the Stones.
Then the band returned in 1998, 2006 – when he made the historic show on the beach of Copacabanain Rio de Janeiro – And in 2016, the last occasion so far.
In 1998, Ronnie lived at least curious situations. Played soccer with Bebate (via Folha de S. Paulo), striker of the Brazilian team and, at the time, of the Botafogoand escaped unharmed from a speedboat.
In the latter, the reports are that the guitarist, the wife, Jo Woodand the son, Tyrone Woodthey were on a walk in Angra dos Reis when the speedboat showed a mechanical failure that generated a fire of large proportions (via Creative ship).
Ron and his family members managed to leave the speedboat safely, as they moved to another boat, occupied by journalists who covered the passage of Stones throughout Brazil. The guitarist did not stop playing with the situation at the time:
