DAVID BOWIE - WYMAN: THE ROLLING STONES ARE "BORING"

Former ROLLING STONE BILL WYMAN has justified his departure from the rock legends - accusing the remaining members of being musically boring.

The 66-year-old quit the group in 1992, after 30 years - and insists they haven't changed a bit since.

Wyman says, "They like to play things safe, that's it. The Rolling Stones will never develop musically.

"Some artists take risks, like DAVID BOWIE, who sounds different on each album. But not the Rolling Stones."

Nevertheless Wyman is determined to take in the group's LICKS world tour when it hits Britain this summer (03).

He adds, "It's going to be nice: Chat a little back stage, have the odd drink or two, then follow the show from the audience without having to be up there yourself."
