In early 1989, the Stones – Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman, Ronnie Wood, Brian Jones, Mick Taylor, and Ian Stewart – were inducted into the American [[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame]], with Jagger, Richards, Wood and Taylor in attendance.<ref name="rockhall3"/>  Jagger and Richards set aside their animosity and went to work on a new Rolling Stones album, ''[[Steel Wheels]]''. Heralded as a return to form, it included the singles "[[Mixed Emotions (The Rolling Stones song)|Mixed Emotions]]" (US number&nbsp;5), "[[Rock and a Hard Place]]" (US number&nbsp;23) and "[[Almost Hear You Sigh]]". The album also included "Continental Drift", which the Rolling Stones recorded in Tangier, Morocco, in 1989, with [[the Master Musicians of Jajouka led by Bachir Attar]], coordinated by Tony King and Cherie Nutting. [[Nigel Finch]] produced the BBC documentary film ''The Rolling Stones in Morocco''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00jsgbs|title=The Rolling Stones- Continental Drift|work=BBC Four|date=12 August 2011|author=<!--Unknown -->|access-date=22 November 2014|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150904024728/http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00jsgbs|archive-date=4 September 2015}}</ref> Finch also directed ''[[25x5: The Continuing Adventures of the Rolling Stones]]'', a documentary spanning the band's 25-year history, featuring new interviews with the five current members and archival interview material of Brian Jones and Mick Taylor. ''25x5'' aired on the BBC in late 1989 and was released on home video early the following year.{{sfn|Patell|2011|p=24}} ''Steel Wheels'' reached number&nbsp;2 in the UK and number&nbsp;3 in the US.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.rollingstones.com/release/steel-wheels/ |title=Steel Wheels |website=The Rolling Stones |access-date=19 June 2018 |archive-date=11 June 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170611053425/http://www.rollingstones.com/release/steel-wheels/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The [[Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle Tour]] was the band's first world tour in seven years and their biggest stage production to date. Opening acts included [[Living Colour]] and [[Guns N' Roses]]. Recordings from the tour include the 1991 concert album ''[[Flashpoint (album)|Flashpoint]]'', which reached number&nbsp;6 in the UK and number&nbsp;16 in the US,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rollingstones.com/release/flashpoint/ |title=Flashpoint |website=The Rolling Stones |access-date=19 June 2018 |archive-date=6 December 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141206060848/http://www.rollingstones.com/release/flashpoint/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> and the concert film ''[[Stones at the Max|Live at the Max]]'' released in 1991.<ref>{{cite magazine|author=<!-- Unknown -->|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/rolling-stones-1991-concert-film-live-at-the-max-headed-to-dvd-20091109#ixzz3JlfeBGPi|title=Rolling Stones' 1991 Concert Film "Live at the Max" Headed to DVD|magazine=Rolling Stone|date=9 November 2009|access-date=22 November 2014|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141224234348/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/rolling-stones-1991-concert-film-live-at-the-max-headed-to-dvd-20091109#ixzz3JlfeBGPi|archive-date=24 December 2014|url-access=limited}}</ref> The tour was Bill Wyman's last. After years of deliberation he decided to leave the band, although his departure was not made official until January 1993.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Light |first=Alan |date=21 January 1993 |title=Bill Wyman Quits the Rolling Stones |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/bill-wyman-quits-the-rolling-stones-245610/ |url-access=limited |access-date=2022-07-03 |magazine=Rolling Stone |language=en-US}}</ref> He then published ''Stone Alone'', an autobiography based on scrapbooks and diaries he had kept since the band's early days. A few years later he formed [[Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings]] and began recording and touring again.{{sfn|Schinder|Schwartz|2010|p=230}}

After the successes of the Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle tours, the band took a break. Watts released two jazz albums; Wood recorded his fifth solo album, the first in 11 years, called ''[[Slide On This]]''; Wyman released his fourth solo album; Richards released his second solo album in late 1992, ''[[Main Offender]]'', and did a small tour, including big concerts in Spain and Argentina.{{sfn|Bockris|1992|p=394}}{{sfn|Neill|2015|p=137}} Jagger got good reviews and sales with his third solo album, ''[[Wandering Spirit (album)|Wandering Spirit]]'', which reached number&nbsp;12 in the UK<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.officialcharts.com/artist/14177/mick-jagger/ |title=Mick Jagger |website=Official Charts Company |access-date=19 June 2018}}</ref> and number&nbsp;11 in the US.<ref>{{Cite magazine |url=https://www.billboard.com/artist/mick-jagger/chart-history/tsl/ |title=Wandering Spirit |magazine=Billboard |access-date=19 June 2018}}</ref> The album sold more than two million copies worldwide, being certified Gold in the US.<ref name="RIAA"/>

After Wyman's departure, the Rolling Stones' new distributor/record label, [[Virgin Records]], remastered and repackaged the band's back catalogue from ''Sticky Fingers'' to ''Steel Wheels'', except for the three live albums. They issued another hits compilation in 1993 entitled ''[[Jump Back]]'', which reached number&nbsp;16 in the UK and number&nbsp;30 in the US.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.rollingstones.com/release/jump-back-the-best-of-71-93/ |title=Jump Back |website=The Rolling Stones |access-date=19 June 2018}}</ref> By 1993, the Stones were ready to start recording another studio album. Charlie Watts recruited bassist [[Darryl Jones]], a former [[sideman]] of [[Miles Davis]], and [[Sting (musician)|Sting]], as Wyman's replacement for 1994's ''[[Voodoo Lounge]]''. Jones continues to perform with the band as their touring and session bassist. The album met with positive reviews and strong sales, going double platinum in the US. Reviewers took note and credited the album's "traditionalist" sounds to the Rolling Stones' new producer [[Don Was]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Erlewine|first=Stephen Thomas|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/voodoo-lounge-mw0000178891|title=Voodoo Lounge – album review|work=AllMusic|access-date=14 July 2013|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130604150926/http://www.allmusic.com/album/voodoo-lounge-mw0000178891|archive-date=4 June 2013}}</ref> ''Voodoo Lounge'' won the [[Grammy Award for Best Rock Album]] at the 1995 Grammy Awards.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-01-06-ca-17089-story.html|title=The 37th Grammy Nominations|date=6 January 1995|access-date=22 November 2014|work=Los Angeles Times|page=3|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141028093936/http://articles.latimes.com/1995-01-06/entertainment/ca-17089_1_vocal-performance/3|archive-date=28 October 2014}}</ref> It reached number&nbsp;1 in the UK and number&nbsp;2 in the US.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.rollingstones.com/release/voodoo-lounge/ |title=Voodoo Lounge |website=The Rolling Stones |access-date=19 June 2018 |archive-date=29 November 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141129233310/http://www.rollingstones.com/release/voodoo-lounge/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The Rolling Stones were the first major recording artists to broadcast a concert over the Internet; a 20-minute video was broadcast on 18 November 1994 using the [[Mbone]] at 10 frames per second. The broadcast, engineered by [[Thinking Pictures]] and financed by [[Sun Microsystems]], was one of the first demonstrations of [[streaming video]]; while it was not a true [[webcast]], it introduced many to the technology.<ref>{{cite news |last=Strauss|first=Neil|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1994/11/22/arts/rolling-stones-live-on-internet-both-a-big-deal-and-a-little-deal.html?pagewanted=all|title=Rolling Stones Live on Internet: Both a Big Deal and a Little Deal|newspaper=The New York Times |date=22 November 1994|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170129163834/http://www.nytimes.com/1994/11/22/arts/rolling-stones-live-on-internet-both-a-big-deal-and-a-little-deal.html?pagewanted=all |archive-date=29 January 2017|url-access=limited}}</ref>

The Rolling Stones ended the 1990s with the album ''[[Bridges to Babylon]]'', released in 1997 to mixed reviews.<ref>
