Los Angeles - The Rolling Stones will perform with former members Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor at their
50 and Counting shows in London.
The legendary group will play their first comeback show at the city's The O2 venue on Sunday and will welcome former guitarist Mick - who played with the band from 1968 to 1974 - and Bill, who left the group in 1993 to the stage.
The band - Sir Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood - have promised a show packed with hits from their 50 year career, as well as "a few surprises."
Rumours they would perform with Bill have been circulating since Ronnie said he had been rehearsing with them earlier this year.
He said in July: "I saw him last week and he was in top form, rocking. We also did a rehearsal with him a few weeks ago. It's like he'd never been away."
The band will take to the stage at 20:00 on Sunday, and will not have any support act.
They will play a second show at The O2 on 29 November, before heading to the US, playing at the Barclay Centre, New York City, on Saturday 8 December and the Prudential Centre, New Jersey on 13 and 15 December.
The group have also released a video to new track
Doom and Gloom, taken from their recent compilation album
GRRR!, starring
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo actress Noomi Rapace.
The clip was directed by Jonas Akerlund, who has previously made videos for Lady Gaga, Madonna and Britney Spears.
