Stones bassist has cancer
Former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman has been diagnosed with prostate cancer.
The 79-year-old musician, who is expected to make a full recovery, joined the rock band in late 1962.
A spokesman said: “He is undergoing treatment and is expected to make a full recovery as it was caught in the early stages.
“The Wyman family has asked for their privacy during this time.”
Born William Perks, Wyman joined the Rolling Stones shortly after the band’s formation in London.
He left in 1993.
