The Bill Wyman Birthday Gala, set for Oct. 28, is part of a series of London-based BluesFest shows held through Oct. 30.

Born William George Perks on Oct. 24, 1936, he has been called laid back, stoic and reserved.

Former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman has been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

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

Bill Wyman's revelations in a Rolling Stone interview may shake the memorabilia market.

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.

As expected, the Rolling Stones welcomed special guests (and ex-Stones) Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor, along with Eric Clapton and Florence + The Machine.

The Rolling Stones kicked off their 50 & Counting shows in their hometown of London, at a packed O2 Arena where 20,000 delirious fans danced and stomped their way through a night to remember.
