Saturday, October 24: Happy Birthday Bill Wyman

Happy Birthday to former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman. He's 79. Wyman played with the Rolling Stones from 1962 until 1993.

Bill Wyman has recorded and toured with his own band, Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings since 1997. The Rolling Stones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 and Rolling Stone magazine ranked them fourth on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. Their estimated sales are over 200 million.

After Wyman's departure in 1993, the Rolling Stones' new record label Virgin remastered and repackaged the band's studio albums from Sticky Fingers to Steel Wheels, and hits collection called Jump Back was released. In 2012, The Stones celebrated their 50th anniversary with a new hits collection called GRRR! and tour dates on the band's 50 and Counting Tour. Wyman joined the band on stage as a guest in London on Nov. 25 2012. He played on two tracks back- to-back, 'It's Only Rock 'n Roll' and Honky Tonk Women'.
