Former Stones bassist says he and some of his bandmates were "scraping by."

It's the former Rolling Stone bassist's first album in nine years - listen to the title track now.

Former bassist says it took his bandmates two years to accept he’d quit.

They didn't necessarily become huge commercial or critical hits, but some produced career-changing moments anyway.

Former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman has been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

After playing with the band for more than 30 years, Bill Wyman walked away from the Rolling Stones in December 1992.

According to former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman, the band members used to forge each others' signatures when signing large amounts of memorabilia. All except for Charlie Watts, that is.

If you happened to be in attendance at the O2 Arena in London last November when Bill Wyman joined the Rolling Stones on stage for the first time in roughly 20 years, hang on to those memories, because Wyman says it'll never happen again.

Former Rolling Stone Bill Wyman seems peeved that his time on stage with his former bandmates last fall was capped to five minutes. He played two songs at both London gigs and was then asked to tour America with the band. "I said for two songs? No thank you."

It excited longtime fans, but Bill Wyman's reunion with his former bandmates in the Rolling Stones really just amounted to a cameo appearance during their 50th anniversary shows last December -- and according to Wyman, that wouldn't have been his choice.

Fans can expect a Rolling Stones reunion in London, as Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor have been confirmed as special guests for both the Nov. 25 and Nov. 29 shows at the O2 Arena. The dates are the first on the bands 50 and Counting tour, which includes shows in Brooklyn, N.Y. and Newark, N.J. before year's end.

When the Stones start recording, a tour isn't far off. I believe they've got one more in them, and I predict it'll be both the best, and their last. Bill Wyman has always been my favorite bass player of all time, and I was saddened when he left the group. It would be great to have him back, but it's not gonna happen.
