Bill Wyman doesn't think conscription would be a "bad idea" for young people. The 87-year-old rock star took up National Service with the Royal Air Force in the late 1950s before finding fame with the Rolling Stones and explained that his time in the military taught him how to "respect" others at a young age. He is quoted by The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column as saying: "I think it would not be a bad idea. When you are in your early teens as a boy, you are a bit of a loose cannon sometimes, and you learn to respect people when you go into the military. I wasn’t afraid to go into National Serv...

Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger turned 80 on Wednesday. The singer is still packing arenas and shows no signs of slowing down.

The former Rolling Stones bassist, 86, who quit the group 1993 after more than 30 years with the group, admitted his condition is so severe he needs things to be “perfect” and can’t stop himself straightening items such as paintings even if he’s in the middle of a vital meeting. He told The Times: “I have to do it that way. It has to be perfect, or at least as perfect as I can get it. “I might be autistic. I’m OCD, definitely.

Bill Wyman thinks Brian Jones was the driving force behind The Rolling Stones - and not Sir Mick Jagger. The 86-year-old musician starred in the iconic band between 1962 and 1993, and Bill claims that Brian was the band's "creator". Bill told Classic Rock magazine: "[Brian] was the creator of The Rolling Stones. I don't care what you say about Mick and Keith [Richards], if it hadn't have been for Brian they probably would have had a different band in Dartford, out in the sticks where they lived. "They weren't Londoners, though Mick always tries on his cockney accent, which he doesn't deserve, ...
