Artist: Willie and the Poor Boys

* Genre: Rock * Formed: 1984 * Active: ’80s, ’90s * Major Members: Mickey Gee, Bill Wyman, Geraint Watkins, Andy Fairweather-Low, Charlie Watts With Mick Jagger and Keith Richards bickering back and forth in the press during the mid-’80s (leading many to assume that the Stones were kaput), bassist Bill Wyman decided to fill up his newly acquired spare time by forming an all-star band, Willie and the Poor Boys. The group’s roots lay in the series of high-profile 1983 ARMS Concerts (which raised money for multiple sclerosis research), which led to several of the tour’s participants taking it a step further and laying down some tracks in the studio.
