Classic Rock Legend, 88, Makes Rare Appearance With Iconic 60s 'It Girl', 75
Classic Rock Legend, 88, Makes Rare Appearance With Iconic 60s 'It Girl', 75 originally appeared on Parade. 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 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 4, 2025, where it first appeared.

The Rolling Stones Debut 'Out Of Our Heads' In The U.K.
The Rolling Stones' Out of Our Heads returns to the U.K. charts after nearly 60 years, reissued on ... More vinyl for Record Store Day, debuting on two tallies. MANCHESTER, ENGLAND - 7th MARCH: English rock and roll group The Rolling Stones posed in a corridor at the Midland Hotel in Manchester, England on 7th March 1965. Clockwise from top right: Brian Jones (1942-1969), Bill Wyman, Keith Richards, Mick Jagger and Charlie Watts. (Photo by Mark and Colleen Hayward/Redferns) The Rolling Stones never vacate the charts in the United Kingdom for very long. These days, it's stranger for the group's name to be omitted than to see more than one project from the rockers appear. The legendary outfit is currently present with not just one greatest hits compilation, but also a half-century-old full-length that make a splashy debut on multiple tallies. Out of Our Heads, one of the band's earliest studio releases, is new to two important charts in the U.K. this frame. The classic effort debuts at No. 54 on the Official Physical Albums ranking and just one space below that, at No. 55, on the more encompassing Official Albums Sales list. The former only accounts for tangible purchases — like CDs and vinyl — while the latter includes all kinds of buys, regardless of format. The Rolling Stones re-released Out of Our Heads as part of this year's Record Store Day festivities, issuing a special version of the album on clear vinyl. According to information shared about the collectible, only a few thousand copies were made available, which ensured that it quickly became a relatively rare find. The reissue was mastered directly from the 'original first-generation analog mono album master tape,' according to the Record Store Day description. That's the kind of detail that means a lot to audiophiles and Stones super-fans…but probably not many others. This frame marks the first time that Out of Our Heads has appeared on both the Official Physical Albums and Official Albums Sales charts. Those lists weren't around when the title was first released decades ago, so that's not too shocking a statistic… but this isn't the first instance when the set has made an impression. Across the Atlantic Ocean, Out of Our Heads climbed as high as No. 2 on the U.K.'s most important albums ranking. The two efforts that came before it — The Rolling Stones and The Rolling Stones No. 2 — both managed to hit No. 1 on the vital list. Though it might be new to a couple of modern tallies, Out of Our Heads was actually initially shared decades ago. The set marked the band's third full-length release in the U.K. — but interestingly, it was the fourth to arrive in the U.S. The two editions differ slightly, most notably because the American version includes '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction.' That track helped launch the Stones into true rock superstardom and remains one of the most iconic compositions in the genre's history.
