A forthcoming biography claims Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman outdid Mick Jagger and Keith Richards as the band's most prolific womanizer during their wild early years. Author Bob Spitz details Wyman's insatiable appetite for casual encounters on the 1965 U.S. tour. The book spills on his habits, marriages, and band tensions.
Hold onto your guitar picks, Stones fans—Bob Spitz's new book 'The Rolling Stones: The Biography' is serving some serious tea on Bill Wyman. The 89-year-old bassist, known for his quiet demeanor, gets crowned the group's unrivaled 'p****hound.' Spitz writes that Wyman couldn't sleep without 'fresh female companionship,' his appetite for casual sex 'unquenchable.' 😏 During the band's first U.S. tour in 1965, amid drugs and groupies, he'd spot women from the stage and send assistants to invite them backstage post-show. Messy? Iconic for the era, allegedly from the stage vibes alone? Nah, straight from the bio's pages. Spitz notes bandmates weren't thrilled—Mick J Wyman's personal life drew objections, with Jagger among the critics. Wyman's love life timeline? He wed Diane Cory in 1959, welcomed son Stephen, then split in 1969. Fast-forward to 1989: marriage to Mandy Smith raised eyebrows, over after two years. In 1993, he tied the knot with Suzanne Accosta, fathering three daughters that year—and announced his exit from the Stones after 30+ years. Fast-forward further: Wyman reunited with the band in 2023 for a Charlie Watts tribute recording, post his 2016 prostate cancer diagnosis. From piano kid William George Perks to rock legend, archaeologist, and snapper extraordinaire. So, was Bill the real bad boy all along, or just the one who kept score? 👀
