Former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman has ruled out any chance of playing with his old mates again, despite reuniting with them onstage during their 50th anniversary concerts in London this past November.
Wyman, who played with the Stones from 1962 until 1993, explained his thinking to the Huffington Post: "They'd asked me the December before, and I had to jam with them for three days. 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."
Wyman added: "I've always maintained that you can't go back to things, and they can never be the same . . . It doesn't work. It was a one-off. Five minutes. OK, never again. No regrets, we're still great friends."
The Rolling Stones are currently on their 50 & Counting tour.
