ROLLING STONES - RECLUSIVE WYMAN OFFERS PHOTO FANS THE CHANCE TO CHAT WITH HIM

Former ROLLING STONES star BILL WYMAN has found a novel way to persuade fans to buy his photographs - offering them the chance to chat to him as a perk. Wyman is planning a rare exhibition of his snaps at Los Angeles' Morrison Hotel Gallery in March (07) and anyone who buys a picture at the launch will be invited back for a satellite chat with the former rocker the following night. Gallery owner SAM MILGROM says, "He's been taking photos longer than he's been playing music... and he has behind the scenes shots of bandmates and lots of friends. "Bill Wyman won't attend the launch but it will be an exhibit open to the public and anyone who purchases a print will be invited back the very next night to the gallery for a video feed live chat with him. "It should be an unusual and fun experience."
