Stones new album, Wyman return?

WAITING FOR A FRIEND: The Stones aren’t taking the year off, however. They’ll be rehearsing for recording sessions as early as next month. "We'll just get the boys back together again then and maybe cut a side," Richards revealed. "I've got plenty in the locker here, but it's not on tape." He’s also been working on a solo LP with producer/drummer Steve Jordan. "We're not rushing it, 'cause there's no need to," Keith. "But I'm quite surprised how much stuff is coming out of it." The Stones had gathered in a London studio in December and played together for the first time since the final night of the marathon two-year “Bigger Bang” tour in August 2007. It marked the first time Bill Wyman had played with his former mates since he left in 1992. "We're back in touch, which is great, because I hadn't really spoken to him for years," Richards said of the reunion. Will Wyman rejoin the group for the tour? "I think he's up for it," Keef speculated. "We talked about it. I'll let you know when I can." (3/15a)
