3 Stones together in NYC

Rolling Stones stunning photoshoot in New York City

Yesterday, Mick, Keith and Ronnie came together for a foto shooting!

Steve was kind enough to send me the link to the corresponing YouTube video – see below. We can expect the release date of the new album in October this year.

Backgrid tells us: “The Rolling Stones strike a pose in Tribeca’s stunning photoshoot in New York, NY. Bill Wyman has reunited with the Rolling Stones after 30 years.
He contributed to the band’s upcoming album as a tribute to the late drummer Charlie Watts.“

Concerning Bill’s tribute, we read at rockcelebrities.net, that because of his flight fright, Bill just recorded his part in the Metropolis Studios in London and that was it for the ‘re-union’. However, the track was fine, Mick was delighted and so we will look forward to hear the Stones together with Bill again on the new record this year!

Bill’s new book

Johannes News 0 Comment
Bill Wymans Chelsea: From Medieval Village to Cultural Capital

The new book is called “Bill Wymans Chelsea: From Medieval Village to Cultural Capital”

(Paperback, 224 pages, $ 25.95, ISBN-10: ‎ 1911397354, ISBN-13: ‎ 978-1911397359)

In an interview at variety.com, Bill has some interesting things to tell about the book and his contribution to the Stones new album! (thx Steve, UC, for the link)

Published by Unicorn Publishing Group and to be released August 31, 2023, the text at unicornpublishing.org reads:

“Bill Wyman has worked in the London borough of Chelsea on-and-off since joining the Rolling Stones in 1962, and has lived in the area since 1982. Over the past few years, Bill has walked every street of his beloved neighbourhood, photographing anything unusual that caught his eye: bridges, churches, pubs, shops, houses, monuments, decorative wall plaques, blue historical plaques, statues, weather vanes, front doors, street signs and coal hole covers. Alongside his photos, Bill began to research the area thoroughly – its history, its stories, and its residents. Bill Wyman’s Chelsea is the result of this work: a comprehensive and informative guide to a London borough steeped in culture and history, as seen through the personal and affectionate lens of a long-standing resident, who himself plays a part in the history of the area. Complete with walking tour itineraries, maps, an A-Z of streets, historical information, over 300 of Bill’s photos and knowledge from an insider; Bill has produced what can confidently be called the ‘Master Book on Chelsea’. “
