bill wyman tells his fans on his own site www.billwyman.com that this will be the last tour with the Rhythm Kings as he wants to spend more time with his family (he has three little girls, he says he is missing out so much on their growing up) and he wants to spend more time on his other projects as well.
he considers playing on special occasions, though.

I was fortunate to have seen The Kings when they toured the US. They were a great band. Bill always was in the background, letting the others take the credit. I've gone on to purchase several of their cd's, and have enjoyed their music. While these discs are not quite repeated listening, say as Stones discs, they do have good musicianship. This decision to wind things down fits in with Bill's decision 11 years on to spend more time on varied projects. Good for him, look forward to seeing other projects by him. Just hope these are not followed by the sometimes pointed jabs towards what put him on the map in the 1st place, as he has reluctantly done in the past.. |

OK to say something nice about Bill: I just bought the DVD Hampton '81 and Bill Wyman is playing like a (rhythm) king. His bass sounds solid and swings like hell. The whole band is on fire actually. Ernie Watts imo is an improvement compared with Bobby. Keith and Ron ARE rock 'n ' roll. Great concert! |

I agree , i also loved bill in the stones, i am just upset
with him because he left saying he was tired of touring
and now he tours more than ever, thats what bothers me about bill, not just because he left but because he lied |

Well I think he meant he was tired doing huge world tours. With the RK he plays small joints with less pressure and fuss. |

I saw Wyman two times and the second show (2 years after the first one) was boring, just boring.

The first one was good entertainment, nothing more. |

As this is TRK & Bill's last tour, I wonder if when he visits Cheltenham to perform he will make a stop at the final resting place of his old bandmate? He and Charlie at least know where it is, unlike the other two.
If not a visit, I wonder if he will make some dedication during the set...any of the Brits on this board going to that show?
Regards,

i thought he'd left the stones for family and the fact that he hates to fly.
i liked the rhythm kings....too bad they're disbanding. |

I saw the Rhythm Kings once. They were interesting, because of Bill. |
