From "Gazzapedia":

"If you're gonna use another pic from that book. how about that one of Bill sitting on Matt Clifford's shoulders whilst Keith is singing. Love that one.

(it's not captioned in the book but it's from the final night of the tour at Wembley Stadium - and Bill's last show - they sneaked up behind Keith while he was singing 'Before They Make Me Run'. Keith never even noticed they were there.) I remember it well because I was there."

Bill's last show?
Could it have been known amongst the band at the time that it was Bill's last?

I would imagine that Bill had by this time mentioned that he had intended to quit. he had been talking about it as far back as the early 80's and during the Steel Wheels tour he had had to go through a marriage break-up and his wife's ill-health, his father's death when the band were in Tokyo and a fear of flying which had developed to the stage where he commuted to most of the European shows that summer by car.

the latter problem would obviously have made future touring unrealistic, and Bill has indeed hardly performed outside northern Europe since. The Stones were pretty much in a state of limbo through 1991-92, with Bill having declined to sign the new Virgin contract and the rest of the band trying to get him to reconsider. As early as spring 1991, Charlie - when asked about Bill's situation - replied "I think whats happening is that he's quit but we won't let him".

Don't think the rest of the band would have been too keen on waiting him to arrive in Buenos Aires and Johannesburg by boat, though!

Following 1993's Wandering Spirit by Jagger, and The Rolling Stones' Bridges to Babylon in 1997 and the extended Bridges to Babylon Tour, he began to work on demo material in 2000, finally reaching the studio in the spring of 2001. Although Jagger would primarily work with Marti Frederiksen and Matt Clifford as producers, he also sanctioned the talents of Lenny Kravitz and Wyclef Jean to help create Goddess in the Doorway. And while the songs would largely be composed by Jagger, he endeavored to work with some collaborators, namely, Kravitz and matchbox twenty singer Rob Thomas. The recording of many of the songs is shown in the film Being Mick.

Evidently Matt Clifford co-produced Mick's solo album. No wonder why nobody has heard of him. That was clever
