BILL Wyman has reunited with his Rolling Stones bandmates for the first time in three decades.
The bassist was lured back to help pay tribute to their late drummer Charlie Watts on the band’s new album.

The record will also feature drumming he recorded before his death aged 80 in August 2021 after suffering throat cancer.
Bill, 86, quit the Stones in 1993 after 30 years with the band and has repeatedly said he never regrets it.
He features on one track of the album after flying to Los Angeles for recording sessions at the invitation of lead singer Sir Mick Jagger.
A source said: “Bill hasn’t seen the band together for years, but always loved Charlie. This record’s really a tribute to Charlie, so he couldn’t say no.”

Guitarist Keith Richards, 79, recently told the Los Angeles Times: “You haven’t heard the last of Charlie Watts.”
The source added: “After several sessions in LA done about six months ago, Bill’s playing is going to feature on the record.
“It was really nice for Mick, Keith and Ronnie Wood to be back in the studio remembering Charlie, and playing and singing to drum tracks that are being repurposed and woven into the album.”
Paul McCartney and Elton John also feature on the album — which is being produced by Grammy winner Andrew Watt.
Bill recently said he had no regrets about quitting the band, which is still touring, as within two years he was married to wife Suzanne Accosta.
He said: “We have three beautiful daughters, it couldn’t be better.”
