Adding to the sense of occasion, former members Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor joined frontman Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and drummer Charlie Watts on stage in London. The bill also included some other surprise guests, which included British rock guitarist Jeff Beck and Mary J. Blige. Following Sundays performance The Stones will play one more gig at the O2 Arena on November 29, before crossing the Atlantic for a show at Barclay Center, Brooklyn on December 8 and two at the Prudential Center, Newark on December 13 and 15.
