[edit] Wyman Quitting the Rolling Stones

If the rest of the band, according to the article, did not seem weakened by Wyman's leaving, why did they not find a permanent replacement on bass, like they so (awkwardly fast) did with Brian Jones as a guitarist ++? 84.49.149.245 17:49, 3 July 2007 (UTC)


The entire "biography" section seems really amateurly written.. and where the heck did all that gay club stuff come from?Whotookthatguy 08:42, 22 March 2006 (UTC)


Apparently Bill was a big fund of the early version of the Dungeons and Dragons game. Allegedly he used to play it with his roadies. Anyone confirm this?

[edit] Correction

Sorry, that should be "fan", not "fund"

[edit] Wyman's "odd" relationships, vs. Gary Glitter

Bill's son is/was his own father's father in law?! You could not make it up.

Anyway, if what is written here is true, and Bill actually ***ked a 13 year old girl at the grand young age of 47... in what way is he different from Gary Glitter, who is routinely demonised as an evil paedophile in the UK press, and has as of this writing just earned a prison sentence for his activity?

I do not wish to condone Glitter's actions, but... maybe if, like Wyman, he had played with a multi-squillion-selling band in the all-important 1960s, he'd be treated rather more leniently? 217.155.20.163 23:57, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Just because they started a relationship when she was 13, doesn't mean they had sex when she was 13. While as Gary Glitter was found with an assortment of child pornography.Mustang6172 02:56, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

QUESTION: Did Stephen actually marry Mandy's mother? According to VH1's documentary of the Rolling Stones, the two were engaged, but not actually married.

[edit] Birth location

When Bill Wyman was born, Penge was in Kent (not in London as it is now) so I have changed it back to Kent as it appeared on previous versions.

Just to confuse matters further, I have also read [1] that he spent his first few years in neighbouring Sydenham and was evacuated during the war although he certainly spent much of his childhood living in Penge. --Vincej 14:36, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Just for the record: I have improved the accuracy of the first sentence to reflect that Bill Wyman was actually born in a nearby hospital in Lewisham and may have spent a few years in neighbouring Sydenham before moving to Penge. --Vince 09:03, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

This article needs to be expanded.It just doesn't say much about the man.
