Hi folks. Last week I've been to London and was a bit surprised what happened with Bill Wymans Sticky Fingers cafe. Nearly all the formerly band memorabilia has gone. I asked the bartender about an he said that Bill wanted back again all the stuff. They begged him just to leave a few things there. So only the Les Paul goldtop, two of Bills basses and a 3D-Cover of "Their Satanic Majesties Request" are still there what can discribed as original band memorabilia. What I could see were a few Ron Wood lithographs on the walls with the Stones the Beatles and Clapton on it. No more record awards or tour posters or tour programms at all. We had dinner there and it was very fine. So it's still worth to go there.

I`ve been there several times during the last twenty years and formerly to me it was the worlds greatest stones museum.
We had lots of fun there and met many stones fans from all over the world.

Has it something to do with the Jagger-planned new stones museum in London or are there maybe other reasons that Bill dissolved the presentation?

Cheers.

Sounds not good that nearly all of the formerly band memorabilia has gone - at least there's still a Video from 2013:

That stinks. I'd always wanted to go to London and overpay for a cheeseburger just to see the stuff on the wall. Something is up.

LOL. I've been and you described the experience perfectly.

Does seem strange. Maybe he is selling the restaurant? They sure have great barbecue!

Maybe the stuff is soon on the walls of the Saatchi Gallery - [www.rollingstones.com] .

Around the corner in 49 Kings Road - the 'Chelsea drug store' - there's now a McDonalds, where you can grab a Cheeseburger ....

one that is not overpriced, i might add.

Was just there last week. I kept my expectations low. Muddy Jaggrich is right..not much memorabilia. I didn't know that it previously had more. My BBQ chicken was good. Stuff may have been removed for use in Exhibitionism or ??

Anyway..my 6 yr old daughter snapped these pics of me in front of Chelsea Drugstore (McDonalds) and inside Sticky Fingers.





IORR............but I like it!
