The Rolling Stones are rehearsing with former Rolling Stones bass player Bill Wyman in Paris. According to Paris Match,
the current lineup of the Rolling Stones (lead singer Mick Jagger,
guitarist Keith Richards, drummer Charlie Watts and guitarist Ronnie
Wood), Wyman, and the band's regular backup musicians and backup
vocalists have gathered for rehearsals at Studio de la Grande Armée.
Paris Match reports that on July 24, 2012, the Rolling Stones will decide whether or not to perform at the famed Olympia Theatre in Paris. The theatre has been reserved for the Rolling Stones on July 29, 2012, just in case.
The Rolling Stones have not done a concert since 2007, at the end of the tour for "A Bigger Bang."
In late April/early May 2012, the Rolling Stones rehearsed in the New York City area, with producer Don Was filling in for bass player Darryl Jones, who was touring in Europe. Those rehearsals were filmed for the official Rolling Stones 50th anniversary documentary movie directed by Brett Morgen. The movie's title and release date are to be announced, but it has already been announced that the film should be in cinemas for a limited time in September 2012. Eagle Rock Entertainment will release the movie on DVD and Blu-ray in October or November 2012.
As previously reported, Jagger told the London Evening Standard at the "Rolling Stones: 50" exhibit opening party in London on July 12, 2012, that the Rolling Stones will do 50th anniversary concerts in the autumn of 2012. Further details about the concerts are to be announced.
Since the Rolling Stones have already announced that they will not do a full-scale tour in 2012, there is speculation that there will only be a few Rolling Stones concerts this year that will take place in major international cities. Richards told Rolling Stone magazine in Mach 2012 interview that it is possible that the Rolling Stones will do a full-scale tour in 2013.
Wyman was in the Rolling Stones from 1962 to 1992. He has since released several solo albums and toured with his band the Rhythm Kings.
In December 2011, Wyman and former Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor did jam sessions in London with the current lineup of the Rolling Stones. These sessions will also reportedly be in the Rolling Stones' 50th anniversary movie.
Wyman and Taylor also attended the "Rolling Stones: 50" party on July 12, 2012.
