The Rolling Stones have been added to the list of artists performing at the Superstorm Sandy benefit concert next week in New York City.

• Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Kanye West to perform at Sandy benefit

Next Wednesday's bill had already included Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, The Who, Alicia Keys, Kanye West and others.

The sold-out show has already raised $30 million, according to the show's producers. The money will be distributed to storm victims in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut through the Robin Hood Foundation.

Producers urge fans not to buy scalped tickets because the money will not go to storm relief.

The "12-12-12" concert will be held at Madison Square Garden.

50 years ago today, Bill Wyman joined The Rolling Stones. In this video Wyman reminisces about his first meeting with "the boys". He recalls that they were more impressed with his equipment than his bass playing, but they warmed up when they found out that he would let them use his amps, which were far superior to the ones they had. For their second meeting he met them at their flat, which Wyman says "was disgusting, filthy; chairs had three legs." http://www.50yearsago.net/bill-wyman-joins-the-rolling-stones-december-7-1962/
