Bill Wyman
Bill Wyman (born William George Perks on 24 October 1936) is an English musician best known as the bass guitarist for the English rock and roll band The Rolling Stones from 1962 until 1992. Since 1997, he has recorded and toured with his own band, Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings. He has worked producing both records and film, and has scored music for film in movies and television.
Wyman has kept a journal since he was a child after the second World War. It has been useful to him as an author who has written seven books, selling two million copies. Wyman's love of art has additionally led to his profiency in photography, and his photographs have been hung in galleries around the world. Wyman's early interests, and lack of funds in his early years led him to create his own fretless bass guitar, an amplifier and much later, a patented metal detector. He became an amateur archaeologist and enjoys relic hunting; The Times published a letter about his hobby (Friday 2 March 2007). He markets a "Bill Wyman signature metal detector", which he has used to find relics from the time of the Romans in the English countryside. As a businessman, he owns several establishments, including the famous Sticky Fingers Café in 1989, a rock & roll-themed bistro serving American cuisine first in the Kensington area of London, which now has two additional locations in Cambridge and Manchester, England.
