Former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman punched Mick Jagger in the nose today. The incident occurred during a recording studio reunion with Wyman more than 30 years after he left the group. Wyman, 86, will be featured on a song on the Stones’ upcoming album.
Bill Wyman Vs Mick JaggerIn a shocking turn of events during a routine recording session, legendary Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman delivered a punch that reverberated through the music industry. And the recipient? None other than the charismatic frontman himself, Mick Jagger! As fans worldwide tried to wrap their heads around the unexpected altercation, we couldn’t help but see the humorous side of this rock ‘n’ roll showdown.
Lead singer Mick Jagger, 79, reportedly invited Wyman to recording sessions in Los Angeles to work on the track. “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,” a source reported.
Wyman left the Stones in 1993 after 30 years with the band. “It was quite stressful and they didn’t want me to leave, so they became bitchy. Instead of being nice and saying Great 30 years, Cheers mate, Mick would say the most absurd, stupid things, with that spoilt attitude he had. He’d say things like: ‘Oh well, if anybody has to play bass I’ll do it. It can’t be that hard if a dummy like Bill can do it’ — and Keith [Richards] said: ‘No one leaves this band unless they’re in a wooden box and he pulled a switch blade on me.’ Keith tried to cut me, security had to pull him off of me. The maniac threatened to gut me like a fish.”
Tea & SympathyThings started off nicely in the studio as they exchanged pleasantries. The band had some tea and reminisced about the old days. As the recording began, old tensions arose. Wyman told Madhouse News, “I was working out the bass line when Mick started telling me what to play. He was snapping his fingers in my face and poking in me in the chest. Jagger was always quite the tyrant in the studio. I really hated when he would get close in my face because he tends to spit during pronunciations of the letter ’S’. He may be doing it on purpose.”
Wyman, drenched in Jagger’s spit, lost it after Mick started making fun of Bill’s solo work. “Don’t play any of that Monkey Grip crap” screamed Jagger. “I know your Mum bought both copies of that album.” This was a dig at Wyman’s 1974 solo album titled “Monkey Grip”. Bill quietly placed his bass down and let a right hook fly that caught Jagger right in the nose. Mick collapsed like a sack of potatoes. Wyman then quietly resumed his bass playing. Mick started to come back at Bill when Wyman warned him, “You might walk over here Mick but you will be limping back. I hope your medical insurance premiums are up to date.”
A hush fell over the studio. You could cut the tension in the room with a knife. Then Jagger started laughing. Then Richards and Wyman, soon the whole room was in hysterics and Mick and Bill hugged it out. “Mick need a good ass whipping every 30 years or so to keep things fresh” laughed Wyman. The band then continued recording. We cant wait to hear the album.
