Former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman has revealed that he’ll never be returning to the stage for a band reunion, ahead of their up and coming Hyde Park gigs.
Wyman was a full time member of the group from their very beginnings in 1963, up until his retirement in 1993. But, after the group decided to get back together for gigs to celebrate their 50th anniversary, Wyman returned to play a number of them - only for him to now claim that he’ll never get back on stage with the band ever again.
He told The Huffington Post:
“I've always maintained that you can't go back to things, and they can never be the same. It's like a school reunion, or Tony Hancock's Army reunion. If you try to go back and have a relationship with someone, it doesn't work, and it's the same musically. It doesn't work. It was a one-off. Five minutes. Ok, never again. No regrets, we're still great friends.”
The decision may have something to do with his disappointment at an apparent lack of involvement for Wyman, who says he expected to play a more prominent role in the reunions.
“I was under the impression I was going to get really involved, but when it came to it, they only wanted me to do two songs, which was very disappointing.”
