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

He spent almost three decades as the Rolling Stones' bassist, but never generated this many headlines.

'Monkey Grip' provides an interesting glimpse into the many American tastes and influences that impacted him.

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.

Bill Wyman, the original bass player for the Rolling Stones is 75 years old today (October 24th). Wyman quit the Stones officially in 1993, citing purely personal reasons. He had said that he wanted to spend more time with family and that he was basically tired of the rigors of touring and making records. Bill Wyman also released a biography in 1990, titled 'Stone Alone', detailing his time wit
