Wyman and Taylor to Join Stones for London Concerts - New York Times (blog)

When the Rolling Stones take the stage at the O2 Arena in London on Sunday to celebrate their 50th anniversary, they will be joined by their longtime bassist, Bill Wyman, and the guitarist Mick Taylor, who played with them in the early 1970s, the band announced on its Web site on Wednesday.

The Sunday show will mark the first time that the surviving members of the band's original lineup have played together since Mr. Wyman left the band in the early 1990s. With Mr. Taylor's nimble guitar work, the London shows will also be the first time that the configuration of the band that produced classic albums like "Sticky Fingers" and "Exile on Main Street" has performed together since 1974. The same lineup will do a second show at the O2 Arena on Nov. 29.

The announcement did not say whether Mr. Wyman and Mr. Taylor would also be onstage at three concerts scheduled in December, one at Barclays Center in Brooklyn and two at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
