Twiggy Teams Up with Bill Wyman for Pop Music Comeback After Nearly Five Decades

Legendary Model-Turned-Singer Twiggy Collaborates with Bill Wyman

Iconic Sixties fashion model and performer Twiggy is stepping back into the music scene, marking a stunning 48 years since the release of her first album. Now a Dame, Lesley Lawson, at 74 years old, is collaborating with the celebrated former bassist of the Rolling Stones, Bill Wyman, who is 87.

The Making of a Music Album Inspired by Times Past

The unlikely duo is creating an album filled with traditional tunes from the 1930s to the 1950s, blending piano, bass, guitar, and Twiggy's singing. Twiggy shares details about their joint project, noting that the work spanned years mainly over Skype due to the pandemic. Wyman fed her fascination for the old melodies, often sending her songs to consider for their collaboration.

An Exciting Yet Intimidating Musical Venture

On her podcast 'Tea With Twiggy,' the model spoke about the project being both thrilling and a bit daunting. She reminisced about her film 'The Boy Friend,' which featured 1920s music, and shared how she drew inspiration from that era and the work of American musicians Mary Ford and Les Paul.

Celebrating the Swinging Sixties and Past Collaborations

Twiggy, also known for her association with the rock and roll scene of the 60s, reflected on her past, including her connection with David Bowie. She reminisced about their planned Vogue cover that was never published because the magazine refused to feature a man on the cover. Undeterred, Bowie included the image on his album 'Pin Ups' instead.
