Classic Rock Legend, 88, Makes Rare Appearance With Iconic 60s 'It Girl', 75
Classic rock legend Bill Wyman was recently photographed in a rare appearance alongside the iconic 60s supermodel and 'It Girl' Twiggy at a VIP screening of her upcoming documentary in London on July 3.
The Rolling Stones bassist, 88, looked to be in great spirits as he posed with the former model, 75, as well as his wife, Suzanne Wyman, and Twiggy's husband, Leigh Lawson, at the Twiggy screening, which was held at The Cinema at Selfridges.
Wyman was last seen at an awards ceremony for a photography event back in January, but before that, the musician was keeping an even lower profile than he has so far this year. He was only seen out publicly once in 2024, when he made an appearance at the Just For One Day: The Live Aid Musical press night in February of that year.
Prior to that, he was last seen stepping out for the world premiere of The Great Escaper at the BFI Southbank in London in September 2023. Needless to say, the rock star doesn't make too many appearances these days.
For her part, Twiggy — whose real name is DameLesley Lawson — was last seen at the Quadrophenia: A Mod Ballet press night recently alongside another classic rock icon: none other than Pete Townshend, the legendary guitarist for The Who. They were also photographed alongside Sadie Frost, director of Twiggy, who attended the event as well.
The Rolling Stones were formed in London in 1962. Though Wyman wasn't in their initial lineup, he is still the band's first official bassist. They initially formed without one — though founding member Dick Taylor would switch from guitar to bass often — with several guitarists in the group, and then auditioned for a bass player in late 1962. Wyman was asked to join the band then, and he stayed with the group until his 1993 departure.
Classic Rock Legend, 88, Makes Rare Appearance With Iconic 60s 'It Girl', 75 first appeared on Parade on Jul 4, 2025

The five key West Midlands events happening this weekend bringing thousands of people to the region
Culture bosses have forecasted that the 'super weekend' of events in July, including Black Sabbath's Birmingham farewell, will pump millions into the local economy. The West Midlands Growth Company has projected that the region's visitor economy could see a surge of up to £20 million. They expect as many as 300,000 fans flocking to the region at the start of July, providing a much-needed boost for the hospitality sector. READ NEXT: Why Jason Momoa was selected to host Black Sabbath's Villa Park concert The five key events happening in the West Midlands this weekend are: Music enthusiasts can look forward to sold-out gigs such as Black Sabbath's Back to the Beginning festival (July 5, Villa Park, Birmingham) – hailed as 'the greatest heavy metal show ever' with Ozzy Osbourne's final performance. Jeff Lynne's ELO: The Over and Out tour (July 5-6, Utilita Arena, Birmingham). The Men's Second Test between England and India (July 2-6, Edgbaston Stadium, Birmingham). The Godiva Festival (July 4-6, War Memorial Park, Coventry). The Colmore Food Festival (July 4-5, Victoria Square, Birmingham), reports Birmingham Live. Hotel occupancy in Birmingham city centre is expected to rocket to nearly 90 per cent, a significant increase compared to the first Saturday in July 2024 (52 per cent). Data from STR also suggests that Birmingham's hoteliers can anticipate higher occupancy rates for the first three weeks in July, compared to the same period last year. July is set to be jam-packed with marquee events, not least Stevie Wonder's 'Love, Light and Song' gig on 7 July. The city will also groove to the Mostly Jazz Funk and Soul Festival from 11-13 July, followed closely by the Birmingham Jazz and Blues Festival kicking off on 18 July. Councillor John Cotton, the leading figure at Birmingham City Council, enthused: "The eyes of the world will be on Birmingham for an extraordinary, unrivalled few days of music, sport and foodie events, delivering real-time economic benefits to our local businesses and communities. "There is always such a special atmosphere in the city on major event days. "We look forward to bringing people together and providing the backdrop for a vibrant celebration of Birmingham's culture and heritage, creating more special experiences and memories for our visitors." Utilita Arena Birmingham and bp pulse LIVE's boss Jen Mitchell was equally upbeat, saying: "Welcoming thousands of fans to the city is what we do best – but hosting Brummie legends ELO makes this weekend particularly special. "With major moments also happening across the city, from Black Sabbath at Villa Park to the Test Match at Edgbaston, it's a real showcase of Birmingham's strength as a large-scale live events destination." Kelsey Dwyer, Partnerships and Events Manager at Colmore BID, is over the moon about the Colmore Food Festival making its comeback to Birmingham's Victoria Square for this July Super Weekend: "We're thrilled to bring Colmore Food Festival back to the heart of Birmingham in Victoria Square this July Super Weekend." She pointed out the festival's enticing features, saying: "With over 30 incredible local food and drink venues, capped menu prices, and a buzzing, family-friendly atmosphere, it's the perfect way to soak up the city's buzzing atmosphere." Dwyer also touched on the wide-ranging appeal of the event: "Whether you want to fuel up before the big gig, soak in the rock 'n' roll vibes or get your metal-inspired face paints, there's something for everyone." Wrapping up, she extended an open invitation: "Come hungry, leave happy – and don't forget to request your favourite metal tune with our on-stage entertainers while you're at it!".

Oasis thank their fans as they close their first gig together in 16 years
Oasis thanked their fans for 'putting up with us over the years', as they closed their first gig together in 16 years. Noel and Liam Gallagher swaggered on to the stage before waving at concertgoers at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on Friday, the first stop on their long-awaited worldwide reunion tour. The brothers, who had not performed together since their dramatic split in 2009, blasted through their setlist, kicking off with Hello, from their second album, (What's the Story) Morning Glory? During the gig, the lead singer apologised to fans for how long it had taken for them to reunite. Liam spoke to the audience several times throughout the set, saying: 'Hello people, it's been too long,' before their third song, (What's the Story). Before launching into Cigarettes And Alcohol, Liam demanded the audience embrace, telling fans to turn around and hug a stranger. He said: 'Right then beautiful people, I want to see you all turn around and put your arms round each other. 'And when the tune starts, jump up and f****** down.' Both brothers made joking references to the dynamic pricing scandal, which caused outrage among fans trying to buy tickets for shows in the UK and Ireland, with some standard tickets appearing to jump from £148 to £355. The controversy prompted the Government and the UK's competition watchdog to pledge to look at the use of dynamic pricing. After Liam walked off stage following Roll With It, Noel took over singing duties for the first time. He quoted the audience a price the gig was worth, before saying: 'It's just gone up.' Later, Liam said: 'Was it worth the £40,000 you paid for a ticket?' During the final bars of Live Forever, a picture of Diogo Jota, the Liverpool footballer who died in a car accident on Thursday, was displayed, and the crowd cheered and applauded the gesture. As they broke into fan-favourite Champagne Supernova, their final song of the evening, the lead singer said: 'Right you beautiful people, this is it. 'Nice one for putting up with us over the years, we know we've been difficult. 'Champagne Supernova, nice one.' While the brothers shared no banter on stage throughout the gig, they very briefly high-fived and half-hugged each other's shoulders after their closing track. Oasis was supported by fellow 90s group Cast and former Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft. Cast, an indie rock band from Liverpool, also paid tribute to Diogo Jota, dedicating their top 10 hit Walkaway to the footballer. Ashcroft said he was 'proud to be here on this historic night', before playing many of his biggest songs, finishing with Bittersweet Symphony. Tens of thousands of fans descended on Cardiff ahead of the gig. The stadium is able to host a maximum of 74,500 people. On Friday afternoon, every pub and bar along St Mary's Street in the Welsh capital was filled with people waiting for the concert to start, with the majority wearing the Britpop band's merchandise. Fans Lachlan Weekes and Jayden Helm, who spent more than a day travelling from Sydney, Australia, to attend the concert, were among them. Mr Weekes said: 'We've been planning it forever. We always said that if they got back together, we'd be at that first show.' Mr Helm said: 'We've been lifelong fans – we're 22 and 21, so haven't really had a chance to see them before. 'We always said it was worth it to come, we wouldn't miss it for the world. To take time off work to come over here, it's more than worth it.' Lawrence Evans, from just outside Swansea, said his 'life changed' when he started listening to the band, as he then started to play music and write songs. He said: 'They were the band that made me realise how much guitar music meant to me.' His son Jimmy said of the concert: 'The fact that it's in Wales is really special for us. 'It's the first time I get to see Oasis, (my dad) he's lost count, he's seen them countless times. 'I've been waiting for this day all my life.' Glenn Moss, an Oasis fan from Essex, who regularly gets mistaken for Liam Gallagher, said he started working as an impersonator before the band's reunion, having previously been against the idea. He said: 'I get stopped all the time – as soon as I got here yesterday four people within five minutes stopped me asking if I was him or for a photo.' The reunion announcement came 15 years after Noel quit the Manchester band, saying he 'simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer', after a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. Oasis will visit Manchester's Heaton Park, London's Wembley Stadium, Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium and Dublin's Croke Park throughout July, August and September. The group will then head to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America. A movie, produced by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, is being made in conjunction with the reunion tour. The band was led by lead guitarist Noel and his brother, lead vocalist Liam, during their 18 years together. Oasis signed to independent record label Creation Records in 1993, rising to fame with the release of their debut chart-topping album Definitely Maybe on August 29 1994. Speaking after the concert, Steve from Hertfordshire, said the band were 'F****** wicked', describing them as 'the best band ever'. Steve said he went to see them in 2006 and they had lived up to his expectations, but admitted to having had quite a few beers before the show. Asked for his favourite part, he said: 'The beginning, the middle, and also the end. 'All of it was fantastic, we had a really good time, we've come all the way from Hertfordshire to see them in Wales.' Morgan, 20, from Wales, said: 'It made my life, honestly, I could get hit by a car and die, and I'd have a smile on my face.' Morgan described himself as an Oasis fan from birth, with his father encouraging him to get into them. 'It was unreal, being in that stadium, I'm still shaking, being here tonight is something else.'
