Bill Wyman Reflects on Rolling Stones' Continuation Without Charlie Watts
Former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman expressed surprise that the band continued after drummer Charlie Watts' death, suggesting they persisted because they had no other pursuits. Wyman, who left the band in 1993, noted that while he had various interests outside music, the Stones seemed to focus solely on the band. He recalled the band's initial disbelief when he announced his departure, which they only accepted two years later.
