Ex Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman has hit out against the band’s recent anniversary shows, which he was a part of.

In an exclusive interview, Wyman told The Huffington Post "I've always maintained that you can't go back to things, and they can never be the same. It's like a school reunion, or Tony Hancock's Army reunion. If you try to go back and have a relationship with someone, it doesn't work, and it's the same musically. It doesn't work.

"It was a one-off. Five minutes. Ok, never again. No regrets, we're still great friends”.

The 76 year old was with The Rolling Stones from 1962 until 1993, before leaving to pursue a solo career, however he returned to the stage with the group as a special guest at last year’s London shows.

Wyman also explains in the interview about how he believed he would have had a more prominent role in the 50th anniversary tour; he said “I was under the impression I was going to get really involved, but when it came to it, they only wanted me to do two songs, which was very disappointing.”

The Rolling Stones are currently touring America (without Wyman), and recently made the news when Katy Perry appeared as a special guest in Las Vegas last Saturday.
