I had a wonderful time with the Stones but after 31 years, I thought it was time to move on.

With the Rhythm Kings, I can involve myself in arranging and producing the music as well as the choice of songs.

Bill Wyman
Image
Because of the fashion, the young people don't have any access to the history of music, unless people like me revive it. There are very few people to revive it, because you can't earn any money doing it.
Bill Wyman
Image
I'm always shy in front of an audience, so I'm always at the back, in the shadows, just doing it. I don't like the front, the adulation.
Bill Wyman
Image
Companies spend twenty, thirty, forty percent of revenues on advertising to brand their product and to get, essentially, acquire customers cheaply. You get a lot of exposure on something like this.

It's all right leaping about the stage when you're 20 but when you get to 25 it gets a bit embarrassing

I live in a house that was built in 1480. It has a moat around it. It is like a little baby castle.
