Bill Wyman, who was the bassist for the Rolling Stones for more than three decades, was speaking at an event in London when he became emotional after recounting a traumatic childhood memory
A legendary bassist was moved to tears during a public appearance as he shared a harrowing tale from his youth.
Bill recounted: "I was so hungry, Mum sent me to a bomb site to get dandelions to eat between bread. You would have to scrape around for anything edible. It was f*****g horrible and I was so cold." The Blitz, short for the German 'Blitzkrieg' meaning 'lightning war', was a relentless bombing campaign carried out against the UK by Nazi Germany's Luftwaffe during World War II. Between September 1940 and May 1941, London, Coventry, Birmingham, Bristol, Southampton, Sheffield, Liverpool, Manchester, Cardiff, Portsmouth, Hull, Plymouth, Clydebank, and Belfast were targeted in what is known as The Blitz.
