News about Bill Wyman

Reflecting on his two-year marriage to second wife Mandy Smith, former Rolling Stone Bill Wyman now muses: 'Total disaster... although I wanted it to be as good as it had been previously, but it wasn't.' Aged 52 at the time - he married Mandy when she was 18 having 'fallen in love' with her when she was just 13 - he has since been married to Suzanne Acosta for more than 30 years. He disclosed in 2016: 'I went to the police and the public prosecutor and asked if they wanted to talk to me [about his relationship with Mandy]. They said no. I was totally open about it.' Might it be wiser in these woke times not to mention Mandy any more?

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: How about this for a comeback? Twiggy is making a comeback to pop music 48 years since her self-titled debut album was announced. I'm pleased to announce that former Rolling Stones bass guitarist Bill Wyman, 87, has collaborated with legendary former model Dame Lesley Lawson. Their album features piano, bass, guitar, and her vocals.

HARDCASTLE EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: Queen Camilla will lead the royal party at a service for late King Constantine of Greece at Windsor Castle, which the King was supposed to attend. Prince Philip baptized into the Greek Orthodox church and evacuated in an orange box after his family was exiled following the Greco-Turkish war, maintaining strong links with his cousin, ex-King Constantine II, who was accepted and treated in rank and priority as if he still had a kingdom.

Bill Wyman blames the short stature of himself and fellow Rolling Stone Brian Jones (both 5ft 6in). Beatle Ringo Starr and Small Faces Ronnie Lane and Steve Marriott (both below 5ft 6in) suffered similar deprivation: "Although the war ended in 1945, we were still on rationing until eight years later." We're all small because of it.' At the Army Museum, a pint-sized bill launching his memoir states, 'We are all little you know.' Could Small Faces have been prosecuted under the Trades Description Act when Rod Stewart joined in 1969? He loomed over his fellow mates at 5 foot 10in.

It was a call that struck at all patriotic young men: Your Country Needs You. These words, which accompanied Army chief Lord Kitchener's face on posters all around the country, had helped to encourage one million people to participate in the First World War in January 1915. However, with casualties in their hundreds of thousands, the tide of volunteers was not strong, and so, in January 1916, conscription was introduced amid widespread resistance in some quarters. Some 2.5 million men had been ordered to serve by law by the time the Great War came to an end in 1918. As the government begins to'mobilize the troops' in the event of a wider conflict against Russia in the midst of Ukraine's war. Both men aged between 18 and 41 were called up in 1939, 1939, before unmarried women and widows of the age of 30 were also encouraged to serve in some manner. And although the war against Hitler came to an end in 1945, the National Service, which was based on a different name, was launched in 1947 and continued until 1960.

On Wednesday, Sir Mick Jagger made a rare public appearance with his daughter Jade at the VIP screening of I'm Still Here for charity Under One Sky at NBC Universal in London. In a blue coat and baseball cap teamed with an orange scarf, the Rolling Stones legend, 80, displayed his bold style. In a black satin blazer and plunging dress, Mick's daughter, who lives with ex-wife Bianca, looked effortlessly chic.

BOYGEORGE: I knew I was gay by the time I was six years old, as did everyone else. Despite being mocked for being eminate and pretty, I never really wished I was straight. Of course, I knew I had to keep it private. A poofter was the worst thing you could have been at school. And the instructors were homophobic. 'Pick your legs up, lassie,' my gym instructor, Mr McIntyre, would yell: "Pick your legs up, lassie.' I was in the 1970s, and there was a sense that I should get to my gay business over there in the corner rather than worry about it. It was never going to be a success for me. I went to Sunday School in one of Mum's hats as a child. One of her friends called and said: 'Do you know what he's wearing?'

Tramp, a wealthy, popular, and royal playground, has closed suddenly, and it seems that it has been illegally sold. After members of a £1,000 yearly subscription received an email advising them that the club has been canceled, a byword for nocturnal overindulgence, inebriation, and sinking into sensual dissatisfaction in Mayfair seems to be uncertain. Johnny Gold, the club's legendary Founder, opened the club on December 18, 1969. Mick Jagger was a founder member of the First Night, and hellraisers Peter Sellers, Michael Caine, and Richard Harris were with him on the opening night. Tramp became a film and rock 'n' roll celebrity overnight. When in London, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Marlon Brando, and Charlton Heston were all regulars. Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor will both be able to pass by. On one night, three James Bonds, Roger Moore, Sean Connery, and George Lazenby were all in the club having dinner at the same time, which was Tramp's pulling power. Jack Nicholson French-kissed a tramp outside the club's unassuming entrance on Jermyn Street one night. Keith Moon, the Who's legendary drummer, had a penchant for removing all of his clothes and dancing naked. He was barred from removing a crystal chandelier on one occasion, but after his chauffeur returned with £500, he was allowed back 48 hours later, naked and strapped to his iconic white Rolls-Royce's bonnet before bursting away at dawn. George Best was at Tramp. Best once punched regular Sir Michael Caine on a night when the footballer appeared to muscle in on Bill Wyman's birthday, when the footballer uninhibitedly turned up with almost a dozen women in tow. In fact, it was reported that girls dressed up for Annabel's nearby Tramp and then they erupted for Tramp. Tara Palmer-Tomkinson was assured of her entry when she turned up in nothing more than a bikini under an open fur coat for her 21st birthday party.

The private Mayfair members' club Tramp was brimming with beautiful people. The music, their chatter, and joking were deafening. The entire room fell silent as we made our way to our table across the tiny dancefloor that night. Any pair of eyes in the town happened to look at us. A Rolling Stone was not among our number, but not because it was one of our number. He was a regular and a piece of furniture at the table. Our gorgeous blonde friend took their breath away. At the time, I was a host on a prime-time Channel 4 Saturday night music show, and I was used to socializing with DJs and rock stars. Several of them I still think of as friends. Bill Wyman is no longer one of them.

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Reporting tittle-tattle about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's marriage is vital, because it would act as a cultural record of what people are talking about, according to television historian Dame Mary Beard. The Cambridge classicist says, 'I've been reading that they're going to get a divorce.' "Maybe they are correct, perhaps not, but it's still the same sort of gossip" [as in Roman times].

ALISON BOSHOFF, a male singer from Hackney Diamonds, the Stones' latest album (inset), which will be released on Polydor on October 20, sees Bill Wyman, the bass player who left more than 30 years ago. Since the affair in which he married Mandy Smith (pictured together), who was 18, he dropped out of public view. They met when she was 13 years old and he was 47, and she later said they had sex when she was 14 years old. In the press interviews conducted so far by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood (pictured together right), no one has mentioned Wyman's name.

On Monday, the Rolling Stones revealed their latest album title Hackney Diamonds. In the Hackney Gazette for eagle-eyed readers to find when buying the magazine, the band's record label placed the advertisement.

For the first time in 30 years, Bill Wyman has returned to the Rolling Stones for the first time in 30 years. Charlie Watts, the bass player, has lent his talent to the band once more to pay their respects to their late drummer Charlie Watts, who died at the age of 80 in 2021. After flying out to Los Angeles, California, for a recording session, musician Bill, 68, will appear on one of the group's tracks on their forthcoming album.

With wife Suzanne Accosta, Bill Wyman left private members club Oswald's holding hands on Thursday evening, they looked more loved up than ever.

EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: Surely Environment Secretary Therese Coffey's statement that 'the Government has no clue' whether the King should attend or not to the Cop27 environment conference, despite the fact that it's a matter for the King is ridiculous.' The King can only go where his Prime Minister authorizes him to go and state that the PM has approved everything. Charles could summon whom ministers he desired to clarify House and write to whom he pleased in his old position.

Tim Gough (left and right), 55, was hosting his breakfast show on GenX Radio Suffolk when the music suddenly stopped playing half way through a song, prompting concerned coworkers to call 911 to investigate.

He is said to have collapsed onto his mixing desk and in turn landed on a button that stopped the music. In a tweet post, James Hazell, the station's operator, said in a tweeting apology, that I may have noticed that I was not positive about GenX's future, despite the tragic news of Tim's death.' Well, I am now... thanks to the hundreds of loving messages. Tim was involved in the development of GenX Radio, and I would not allow his hard work to amount to nothing. We're going to produce Suffolk's most popular radio station ever built. Tim's legacy will be preserved.'

In 1982, the woman lived in Thacher, Ojai. She claims she was groped by headmaster Bill Wyman, who called her his "unique girl" and'stalked' her between classes. The Wyman died of lung cancer in 2014, so he cannot be charged or questioned about the allegations. However, the woman argues that Thacher failed to shield her and others by allowing the suspected abuse. She is suing after a damning, 91-page report revealed decades of sexual assault at the private school last year.
