The Rolling Stones took to the stage last night in London to perform a hit packed show - with a few special guests to keep excitement levels high. Former bandmates Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor joined the iconic rock legends in front of 20,000 Stones fans.
The former band members joined the band, alongside US soul star Mary J Blige and Jeff Beck at the band's show at London's O2, performing in front of 20,000 fans at the huge London venue.
The band were greeted on stage by video messages from stars including fellow rockers Iggy Pop and Hollywood A-lister, Johnny Depp. Elton John, Cate Blanchett, Nick Cave and The Black Keys. Depp described The Stones as making 'songs to do bad things to'.
The band performed some of their biggest hits at the show including 'Wild Horses', 'Brown Sugar', 'It's Only Rock And Roll' and 'Jumping Jack Flash' - but reportedly didn't have time to perform "Satisfaction' because they ran out of time.
They also performed a cover of The Beatles' 'I Wanna Be Your Man' and premiered a cover of 'I'm Going Down' with Jeff Beck, a cover of the St.Louis Jimmy Oden classic.
Wyman joined the band to perform 'It's Only Rock n' Roll (But I Like It)' and Mick Taylor took to the stage for 'Midnight Rambler'.

During the show, Jagger took a made a cheeky reference to the high prices of the tickets for the event - which ranged from £100 to £1000.
"Everyone all right in the cheap seats?" Said Mick, addressing those in the £100 seats. "They are not that cheap though, are they?"
Touts were selling tickets for up to £15k ahead of the show.
