Former 'Rolling Stones' band mate, Bill Wyman, has revealed that all the band members used to sign each other's name in autograph books in order to save time.

The former Bassist told the Rolling Stone magazine that there were stacks and stacks of autographed books and programmes so they used to grab a bunch each and sign everybody's names, the Daily Express reported.

The 76-year-old musician asserted that he, Keith Richards, Mick Jagger and Brian Jones, had learned to sign each other's signatures, except for Charlie Watts because he wouldn't sign anything.

Wyman felt that he could come clean now because when he sees the signed items for sale, he knows that they are not originals.

 

He added that it was the only way to do it because they didn't have the time to pass the stuff around, as they had to be on stage in 10 minutes.
