Bill Wyman

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.

Once again news continues to swirl from the Rolling Stones' camp over whether or not they will record again. Last week, Ron Wood retracted his original retraction on the subject, with sources saying he was overheard telling somebody that he, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards would be going into the studio very soon. Now, there is talk that bassist Bill Wyman may return to the fold.

Longtime Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings will release a five-CD 'Collectors' Edition Box Set' of their past studio albums on Oct. 25, featuring guest appearance from Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Mark Knopfler, Peter Frampton, fellow former Stone Mick Taylor and others.
