Marianne Faithfull, the British singer who scored hits including “As Tears Go By” and “Broken English” as she went from a highly publicized romantic relationship with Mick Jagger to worldwide fame in her own right, died Thursday. She was 78.

Faithfull’s death in London was announced by her family in a statement to the BBC.

Faithfull also appeared in such films as I’ll Never Forget What’s’isname (1967) and The Girl on the Motorcycle (1968) and on the stage in Three Sisters and Hamlet, though her career was curtailed in the 1970s by heroin addiction, alcoholism and homelessness.

She forged a dramatic comeback in 1979 with the album Broken English, which landed her a Grammy nomination for best female rock vocal performance. In 2011, she was awarded the Commandeur of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, one of France’s highest cultural honors.

Born on Dec. 29, 1946, in Hampstead, London, Faithfull was the daughter of...

Legendary English singer Marianne Faithfull has died at the age of 78.

According to a statement from her family, Faithfull “passed away peacefully” on Thursday, January 30th. A cause of death was not immediately disclosed.

A defining voice of the 1960s, Faithfull first rose to fame with the song “As Tears Go By,” which was written for her by The Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. She proceeded to release several more hit singles throughout the decade, but her career became largely overshadowed by her tumultuous personal life, which included a high-profile relationship with Jagger and battles with addiction. Several of The Rolling Stones’ songs were apparently inspired by Jagger and Faithfull’s relationship, including “You Can’t Always Get What You Want,” “Wild Horses,” and “Sister Morphine.”

Jagger remembered Faithfull in a statement released shortly after her passing, writing: “She was so much part of my life for so long.

BBC News boss Deborah Turness’ proclamation late last week that “we will make mistakes” during the election period appears to already be coming true, with a leading news presenter being forced to apologize to Nigel Farage this afternoon.

Geeta Guru-Murthy said the Honorary President of British political party Reform UK had used “customary inflammatory language” this morning during a report on a Reform UK press conference.

Several hours later, she appeared on BBC News to apologize, stating: “Earlier today we heard live from Nigel Farage speaking at that election event and when we came away from his live speech I used language to describe it which didn’t meet the BBC’s editorial standards on impartiality. I’d like to apologize to Mr Farage and viewers for this.”

Farage is not running for anti-immigration party Reform UK but he is by far and away its best known member. A key...

John Barbata, the drummer who played on classic recordings by the Turtles, Jefferson Starship, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, has died, Rolling Stone has confirmed. He was 79.

Jefferson Starship paid tribute to Barbata on social media, writing, “We are saddened to hear of the passing of the great John Barbata, Jefferson Starship’s original drummer. Our thoughts go out to his family, friends and fans. Rock in peace, Johnny!”

The news of Barbata’s death on May 8 was first reported by Best Classic Bands. A cause of death was not immediately available.

Since 1982, when the Rolling Stones launched a European leg of their Tattoo You tour, lighting designer Patrick Woodroffe has gotten both a front-row seat and a backstage look at how Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, and the rest of the band work on the road.

“The real privilege is to see them in rehearsal,” he tells Rolling Stone on an early May Zoom from Arizona, a day before a Stones gig. “It’s thrilling still, even after all this time. They always get together for at least three or...

Dennis “Machine Gun” Thompson, the founding MC5 drummer and the last surviving original member of the pioneering proto-punk group, died Wednesday, The Detroit Free Press reported. He was 75.

An exact cause of death was not given, though Thompson had reportedly suffered a series of medical issues in recent months, including a heart attack in April.

Thompson’s death comes just a few months after the February death of his MC5 bandmate, guitarist Wayne Kramer, and the April death of John Sinclair, the group’s manager. A few months after Sinclair’s death,...

Over the past couple of decades, the Rolling Stones have looked for any reason to hit the road besides the release of a new album of original songs. They’ve launched tours celebrating their 50th anniversary, reissues of select archival records, the 2016 covers LP Blue & Lonesome, and their 60th anniversary. Some years they headed out on the stadium circuit for no particular reason whatsoever, knowing a Stones tour is a major event in and of itself.

But after a nearly two-year break from touring, the Stones emerged last year with the shockingly great Hackney Diamonds.

The Rolling Stones will embark on a North American stadium tour in 2024. The “Stones Tour ’24 Hackney Diamonds” visits 16 cities beginning in April — all in support of the band’s latest album, Hackney Diamonds, which features their first new, original material in 18 years.

The Rolling Stones’ “Stones Tour ’24 Hackney Diamonds” descends upon 16 North American cities beginning in April 2024, including stops in Houston, Glendale, Las Vegas, Seattle, E. Rutherford, Foxboro, Orlando, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Denver, Chicago, Vancouver, Los Angeles, and Santa Clara.

Legendary rock band The Rolling Stones has thrilled fans with the announcement of their upcoming tour of their Hackney Diamonds album, set to take place in 16 cities across the United States and Canada.

Formed in 1962, The Rolling Stones are known for songs like “Start Me Up,” “Gimme Shelter” and “Satisfaction.” The tour, promoted by Aeg Presents’ Concerts West, will kick off on April 28 and conclude on July 17. Lead singer Mick Jagger will be joined by fellow founding members Keith Richards on guitar and Ronnie Wood on guitar, who officially became a member of the band in 1976.

The band is sponsored by AARP, an influential U.S. interest group that focuses on issues that affect individuals over the age of 50. This partnership highlights the appeal and cross-generational impact of The Rolling Stones’ music.

The announcement should come as no surprise to fans, as the band has shown no signs of slowing down after seven decades,...

The Rolling Stones’ No Filter tour continues.

Announced in 2017, the legendary rock band is preparing to return to the stages after taking a break for over two years. The last tour date they performed was November 23, 2021, in Hollywood, Florida.

The tour has faced quite a bit of setbacks. In March 2019, frontman Mick Jagger had to undergo a heart operation, postponing that year’s North American leg of the tour. Then in 2020, much like the rest of the world, the Covid-19 pandemic forced another North American leg postponement. The following year, drummer Charlie Watts had to sit out the rest of 2021 tour dates due to a reported heart surgery. Watts died that year on August 24.

The English rock band hasn’t been on tour since 2021. The upcoming tour in April will be the first tour since Watts’ death.

The No Filter tour will include stops in cities like Seattle, Denver and Los Angeles.

The Rolling Stones have been leaning into a high level of theatrical spectacle in visuals for songs from Hackney Diamonds, their latest studio album. In the newly-released music video for “Mess It Up,” the British actor Nicholas Hoult stars as an ex-boyfriend who doesn’t know what he has until it’s gone.

In the visual, directed by Kendrick Lamar and Anderson .Paak collaborator Calmatic, Hoult walks out of a tumultuous relationship and dances his way through the seasons. As time passes, he grows a scruffy beard and the Stones sing: “Oh,...

You may recognize the name of filmmaker Nick Broomfield as he has helmed some incredibly thought-provoking and provocative documentaries on several icons of pop culture such as Kurt Cobain, Whitney Houston and Tupac Shakur to name a few. Broomfield has now added another name to that list with his latest documentary feature “The Stones and Brian Jones”.

When thinking about The Rolling Stone’s the first names to come to mind are Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, however there is one founding member of the band that was crucial to developing their signature sound and that was Brian Jones. Many causal fans of the band are not familiar with Jones and his impact on the formation of one of the greatest rock n’ roll bands of all time.

Jones was the individual who placed an advertisement in “Jazz Times” looking for fellow musicians to audition for a band back in...

The Rolling Stones have been pretty busy this year.

In October, they released their newest studio album, Hackney Diamonds, and now they’ve announced a new tour.

The tour will have Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ron Woods travel to 16 cities in both the U.S. and Canada. It’s scheduled to kick off in Houston on April 28 next year and is set to end in Santa Clara, California, in July.

This will be the first concert tour since the death of drummer Charlie Watts.

“Ever since Charlie’s gone it’s different, he’s number four,” Richards told Jimmy Fallon last month.”He’s missing, he’s up there. Of course he’s missed incredibly.”

Last month, they performed in a New York club with Lady Gaga and sang a mix of their new songs with their older classics.

Brian Jones, the oft-forgotten founder of The Rolling Stones, made significant contributions to the band's iconic sound and played multiple instruments on their hit records. Despite his integral role, Jones was ultimately fired from the band and replaced by Mick Taylor, pushing his legacy further into the background with each passing year. The Stones And Brian Jones documentary aims to shine a light on Jones' contributions and drawbacks, including his negative impact on others, and explore his passing and lasting legacy.

The Stones And Brian Jones is a new documentary about the oft-forgotten founder of one of the most influential bands of all time. Brian Jones was in The Rolling Stones from 1962 to 1969 before ultimately being fired from the group and replaced by Mick Taylor. The Rolling Stones have continued to tour ever since, pushing Jones’ legacy further into the background with each passing year.

Directed by Nick Broomfield, The...

It might or might not be true, as Nick Broomfield declares in his new feature documentary, that “most people today” haven’t heard of Brian Jones. If it’s true of most young music fans, then a) yikes and b) The Stones and Brian Jones is here to bridge the generation gap. The Magnolia release, which is receiving a one-night theatrical showcase 10 days before its Nov. 17 general release, joins an ever-expanding pack of doc portraits exploring boomer musicians who led the rock revolution of the ’60s and ’70s.

Broomfield’s earlier takes on pop culture giants — among them Kurt Cobain, Whitney Houston, Leonard Cohen and Biggie and Tupac — have ranged from basic to divisive to lurid. In this case, taking a deep dive into public and private archives, he emerges with a surprisingly poignant study of the Rolling Stones co-founder, a middle-class kid who rebelled against his upbringing, found his...

In the weeks before the release of The Stones and Brian Jones, Nick Broomfield’s documentary about the first casualty of the Rolling Stones’ rise to prominence, the band released its 24th (in the UK; 26th in the US) studio album. And as part of the release of Hackney Diamonds, the band’s first studio release in seven years, the Stones’ PR machine went into overdrive. Mick Jagger and Keith Richard made the rounds and, among other topics, often touched on the death of longtime drummer Charlie Watts and its impact on the band. These interviews have tended to be fascinating affairs; such is the state of things when members of rock royalty hit the promotion trail.

One name that was barely mentioned is Brian Jones. That is not altogether surprising; even though Jones was the band’s founder and its first leader, he died more than 50 years ago. But...

The Rolling Stones are officially the first act to have newly-charted top 10 albums in the United States in every decade since the 1960s.

Their latest studio album, Hackney Diamonds, which dropped on Oct. 20, debuted on the Billboard 200 albums chart at No. 3.

The band, which is currently comprised of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood after Charlie Watts died in 2021, scored their first top 10 album on the Billboard 200 chart in 1964 with 12 x 5. In total, The Stones claimed 13 top 10 albums in the ’60s, 12 in the ‘70s, six in the ‘80s, three in the ‘90s, two in the 2000s, one in the 2010s and now one in the 2020s.

Hackney Diamonds also extended the rock band’s record as the artist with the most top 10 albums of all time, with a total of 38. Barbra Streisand follows with 34, while The Beatles and Frank Sinatra are tied for third, with 32 each.

What do you get when you allow a superfan to produce your band’s newest album? Hackney Diamonds.

Andrew Watt, who helmed the Rolling Stones’ first album of original music in 18 years, wants it known that, first and foremost, he is a Stones fan, with an admittedly unhealthy obsession at that. Sure, he’s won the Grammy for Producer of the Year, as well as Grammys for albums he produced or co-produced for Ozzy Osbourne and Dua Lipa. And yeah, his credits include records by pop, hip-hop, and rock hitmakers: Justin Bieber,...

Mick Jagger joined Jimmy Fallon for a skit on The Tonight Show in which he confirmed that he did, in fact, once get some satisfaction. In the clip, Jagger and Fallon get locked in a walk-in freezer and begin to spill their deepest secrets thinking they are trapped there forever (the sketch is aptly named “Freezer Secrets”).

“One time I did get satisfaction,” Jagger admitted to Fallon in reference to the Rolling Stones’ 1965 hit “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.” “Way back in 1992.”

“Really?” Fallon asked. “From what?” “Popping bubble wrap,...

On October 19, The Rolling Stones launched their new album, Hackney Diamonds, at a secret New York City nightclub with Lady Gaga.

Elvis Costello and Diana Krall were seen on the balcony with the closest view of the stage.

Many other stars were present, including Daniel Craig, Jimmy Fallon, Rachel Weisz, Keegan Michael Key, Mary Kate Olson, Trevor Noah, along with Rolling Stone editor Gus Wenner and his father, Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner.

Mick Jagger, 80, still maintained his youthful exuberance for his fans, with no decline in energy despite his age.

Six hundred fans got to hear the band power through old favorites, with songs off the new album interspersed throughout. Gaga joined the band on stage to perform their new track, “Sweet Sounds of Heaven.” Clad in platform heels and a sparkly black-and-maroon bell bottom jumpsuit, Gaga did a high counterpart and response to Jagger’s lead vocals.

The Rolling Stones are back with Hackney Diamonds, their first new album in over 18 years, and to help them kick off their new era is none other than their recent collaborator, Lady Gaga, who joined the Brit rock legends on stage at their album release show in New York City on Thursday night. Watch video of the performance below.

Performing at an intimate club party several hours before Hackney Diamonds officially dropped, the Stones’ Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood delivered a seven-song set of tracks from the new album, including the lead single “Angry.” To close things out, Gaga hopped onstage for the encore: a live rendition of Consequence’s Song of the Week “Sweet Sounds of Heaven,” which features contributions from Gaga and Stevie Wonder on the studio recording.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, others who were in attendance at the star-studded release show include: Daniel Craig,...

The Rolling Stones celebrated the release of their new album with an intimate club performance in New York City, closing the show with a rousing duet with Lady Gaga as Daniel Craig, Chris Rock, Mary-Kate Olsen and more cheered on.

The rock icons performed songs from Hackney Diamonds — including the Gaga-featured “Sweet Sounds of Heaven,” first single “Angry,” “Whole Wide World” and “Bite My Head Off” — hours before the album was released Friday morning. The Stones’ seven-track set also included well-known songs like “Tumbling Dice,” “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” and “Shattered.”

Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood played like old friends onstage, enjoying every second of the short performance while the audience watched in awe. Attendees included Trevor Noah, Jimmy Fallon, Elvis Costello, Diana Krall, Taylor Hill, Rachel Weisz, Christie Brinkley, Ed Burns, Keegan-Michael Key, Imagine Dragons’ Dan Reynolds, Minka Kelly, Christy Turlington and Questlove, who deejayed sets before and after the Stones performed.

The Rolling Stones are back with Hackney Diamonds, their first new album of original material in 18 years. Listen to the project below via Apple Music or Spotify.

Produced by Andrew Watt, Hackney Diamonds was recorded across studios in Los Angeles, London, Bahamas, and New York City. It marks the Stones’ first new record since the 2016 blues covers LP Blue & Lonesome (and first original full-length since 2005’s A Bigger Bang), and the band promoted it accordingly: they posted a snippet of album cut “Angry” to a rage-inducing website that wouldn’t load properly.

Hackney Diamonds also features the Lady Gaga and Stevie Wonder-featuring Song of the Week “Sweet Sounds of Heaven,” as well as contributions from late drummer Charlie Watts, former bassist Bill Wyman, and Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.

Outside of his new album, Mick Jagger has made recent headlines by contemplating a posthumous Rolling Stones tour, and hinting...

Like every other Rolling Stones album dubbed the best since 1978’s Some Girls, Hackney Diamonds features enough cringey lyrics, dodgy guitar riffs, and self-plagiarism (such as Keith Richards playing “Tumbling Dice” at the beginning of “Driving Me Too Hard”) to keep it out of the pantheon of their greatest releases. What parts of the album do capture is a genuinely contemporary flair that the Stones haven’t successfully embodied since they triangulated the emerging threads of punk and disco back in the late 1970s.

The album’s crisp, booming drums, hooky choruses, and livewire vocals have a radio-ready sheen without feeling forced, or compromising the Stones’s essential traits. The opening track, “Angry,” hardens the edges around a shiny pop-forward hook with a hit of stadium swagger and a roiling outro that piles on knotty guitar solos from Richards and Ronnie Wood. The fact that the Stones don’t sound...

The making of the Rolling Stones’ forthcoming album, “Hackney Diamonds,” is explored in a new one-hour TV documentary, “The Stones: Still Rolling,” produced by Fulwell 73 and Mercury Studios. Mercury is looking to sell the project at Mipcom, taking place this week in Cannes.

The TV doc is described as “a rare glimpse of the Rolling Stones as they power forward” that is “told vividly through a first-ever roundtable conversation between the band (members)… giving viewers access to places they have never been.”

Director Paul Dugdale is coming off the recent success of “Elton John Live: Farewell From Dodger Stadium” and “Adele: One Night Only.” Previous Dugdale credits include “Taylor Swift: Reputation Stadium Tour” and “Coldplay: Music of the Spheres — Live at River Plate.”

As a founding member of The Rolling Stones, Brian Jones was fundamental in developing the sound of one of the greatest bands in rock history through less than a decade of their run. In 1969, Jones was found in his swimming pool — the victim of “death by misadventure” — becoming one of the first modern members of the infamous 27 Club. Now, as the Stones surpass their 60th anniversary, a documentary titled The Stones and Brian Jones is looking to give Brian Jones his proper due.

Directed by Nick Broomfield, who documented everyone from Tupac and Biggie to Sarah Palin and Aileen Wuornos, The Stones and Brian Jones looks to be just the sort of strong picture and analysis that we’ve come to expect from the director.

The Stones and Brian Jones’ synopsis, as per Magnolia Pictures: “Featuring revealing interviews with all the main players and unseen archive released for the first time,...

Not counting their blues covers record from 2016, the last time the Rolling Stones bequeathed us with an album of fresh material was during George W. Bush’s presidency. That record, 2006’s A Bigger Bang, was feisty but not especially memorable, and in the nearly two decades since, maybe even the Stones started to wonder if we needed another record by them. If they were going to drag themselves (and us) through the process again, and after such a long gap, they also must have known they’d have to make it worth everyone’s while.

The Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger is sharing what it was like working with Lady Gaga on their newly released single “Sweet Sounds of Heaven.”

The track, which Jagger has previously described as gospel-flavored, is off the rock band’s upcoming album Hackney Diamonds and also features keys from Stevie Wonder.

The lead vocalist recently told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe that the “Shallow” performer is a “really great singer” and that he’d “never heard her sing quite that style before, not exactly.”

As for creating the recording, Jagger said that did it “live in the room, and that was a great experience, her just coming in the room and her just opening up and seeing her bits and feeling her way and then getting more confident.”

He added, “And then we came back and then did some extra parts that we hadn’t done on the day and...

The Lady Gaga collab from The Rolling Stones’ forthcoming album, Hackney Diamonds, has been released.

“Sweet Sounds of Heaven” also features Stevie Wonder, playing the piano, Moog and Fender Rhodes. Listen above.

The Rolling Stones’ new album, their first all-original work in 18 years, will be released on Oct. 20 through Geffen. The CD also includes performances by Paul McCartney, Elton John, former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman and the band’s late drummer Charlie Watts in addition to Lady Gaga and Stevie Wonder.

A music video for lead single “Angry”, featuring Sydney Sweeney, was released earlier this month. Hackney Diamonds comes after the Stones’ 2016 studio album, the blues covers album Blue & Lonesome.

In an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, Mick Jagger called Lady Gaga “a really great singer,” adding that he had “never heard her sing...

The Rolling Stones summon a gospel vibe with a little help from Stevie Wonder and Lady Gaga on the latest single from their upcoming album, Hackney Diamonds, on “Sweet Sounds of Heaven.” The album comes out Oct. 20.

“I hear the sweet, sweet sounds of Heaven, fallin’ down, fallin’ down to this earth,” Mick Jagger sings in the first verse. Gaga joins him in the second verse, as Wonder plays piano, Fender Rhodes, and Moog bass with the band. The song’s horn line builds off of Wonder’s bass line on the song,...

The Rolling Stones have called in the big guns for their new song, “Sweet Sounds of Heaven.” Listen to Lady Gaga and Stevie Wonder help out the rock ‘n’ roll legends below.

“Sweet Sounds of Heaven” has a classic, slow-rolling blues vibe, as Wonder, at the behest of Jagger, lays down a smooth piano melody that melds with rousing horns and Keith Richards’ guitar. Jagger opens the track, paying tribute to the late Charlie Watts with lyrics like, “Bless the Father, bless the Son, hear the sound of the drums/ As it echoes through the valley and it bursts.”

Jagger is then joined by Gaga, who at first delivers restrained backing vocals on the second verse before letting it all hang out on the chorus. “No, I’m not, not goin’ to Hell/ In some dusty motel,” the duo sings. “And I’m not, not goin’ down/ In the dirt.

The Rolling Stones are set to return next month with their album, Hackney Diamonds, and a supporting world tour is expected follow suit. With Mick Jagger already 80 years old, and Keith Richards set to join him as an octogenarian come December, it’s certainly possible that this is The Stones’ last go-around — at least, in physical form.

In a new interview with Wall Street Journal Magazine, Jagger said he’d be open to a future hologram tour in the same spirit as Abba’s acclaimed “Voyage” concert. “You can have a posthumous business now, can’t you? You can have a posthumous tour,” Jagger said. “The technology has really moved on since the Abba thing.”

Fortunately, the prospect of a posthumous tour still seems a way offs. Jagger told WSJ Magazine that he is in good health. Meanwhile, Richards is living a “straight” lifestyle after mostly giving up alcohol, drugs,...

Get ready for “Sweet Sounds of Heaven.” After announcing their 24th studio album Hackney Diamonds, the Rolling Stones have released a preview of their new single featuring Lady Gaga and Stevie Wonder. On the track, Gaga sings and Wonder plays keys and piano.

The single is the second release from the album, following “Angry,” which was dropped on Sep. 6 along with the news of their new album, which is due Oct. 20. The 16-second teaser for “Sweet Sounds of Heaven” was released on the band’s Instagram, the post also revealing...

Keith Richards has divulged more about his infamous history of drug and alcohol use, along with his more recent turn to a “straight” lifestyle, in a new interview with The Telegraph.

“The cigarettes I gave up in 2019,” The Rolling Stones guitarist shared. “I haven’t touched them since. I gave up heroin in 1978. I gave up cocaine in 2006. I still like a drink occasionally – because I’m not going to heaven any time soon – but apart from that, I’m trying to enjoy being straight. It’s a unique experience for me.”

The always-candid Richards fondly recalled his former preferred drink of choice of vodka and orange soda, saying, “Oh, the Nuclear Waste,” before stressing that he only consumed “enough, always just enough” and confirmed he had since “given that up.”

The topic of his prolific drug use then naturally segued to the 79-year old’s views on longevity. “I’m blessed,...

Exclusive: Linda Perry, one of the most talented singer-songwriters in popular music, will be the subject of an upcoming documentary from Mercury Studios and Utopia Originals.

Award-winning filmmaker Don Hardy (Citizen Penn) is directing Linda Perry: Let It Die Here, described as “an intimate look at the multi-faceted singer, songwriter and producer.” Perry was the lead singer and principal songwriter for the influential band 4 Non Blondes from 1989-1995, then embarked on a solo career and later founded two record labels. She became a hitmaker for other artists, writing “Beautiful” for Christina Aguilera, “Get the Party Started” for Pink, and co-writing the Gwen Stefani hit “What You Waiting For?” She was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2015.

Linda Perry performs as part of 4 Non Blondes in 1993.

“Linda Perry is one of the most outspoken and recognizable artists of the past 30 years,” notes a release about the documentary project. “The hat,...

After announcing the upcoming release of Hackney Diamonds, their first album of new music in 18 years, The Sun is reporting that The Rolling Stones are producing a new documentary chronicling the making of the LP.

In fact, a source tells the outlet that the band has enlisted the production company behind Hulu reality series “The Kardashians” to get the job done.

“Stones fans are in for a treat as they’re not only getting a new album, but a documentary film too,” a source told The Sun.

“The band have been working with Fulwell 73 on the production. They’re the team behind The Kardashians’ big deal with Hulu,” the source continued.

“The film will chart the band as they started working on the 12 tracks which appear on Hackney Diamonds,” the source explained.

The Rolling Stones have proved their tireless capacity to evolve, with a new documentary helmed by the team behind The Kardashians.

The Sun newspaper reports that Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood are marking the launch of their forthcoming album Hackney Diamonds, with a documentary charting the making of the new record.

The Sun quotes a production insider, saying:

“The band have been working with Fulwell 73 on the production. They’re the team behind The Kardashians’ big deal with Hulu.

“The film will chart the band as they started working on the 12 tracks which appear on ‘Hackney Diamonds’.

“It will give followers an intimate and candid look at Mick, Keith and Ronnie as they work their magic in the studio, including the banter between them.”

The film will include tributes to Charlie Watts, the band’s original drummer who died in 2021. He played drums on two of the new album’s tracks.

The Rolling Stones have confirmed that Lady Gaga, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, and Elton John will all appear on their new album, Hackney Diamonds.

Additionally, The Stones’ late drummer Charlie Watts and former bassist Bill Wyman are featured on the LP.

Gaga sings on the song “Sweet Sounds Of Heaven,” which also features keys and piano played by Wonder. McCartney plays bass on “Bite My Head Off,” while Elton John appears on both “Get Close” and “Live By the Sword.” Watts and Wyman are also featured on “Live By the Sword,” with Watts also playing drums on “Mess It Up.” Check out the full tracklist below.

Hackney Diamonds, the band’s first album of new and original material, is set for release on October 20th. Spanning 12 tracks, it was produced by Andrew Watt and recorded in Henson Recording Studios, Los Angeles; Metropolis Studios, London; Sanctuary Studios, Nassau, Bahamas; Electric Lady Studios,...

Last year, Mick Jagger started feeling restless. Seventeen years had passed since the Rolling Stones had released an album of original material, and though they’d toured regularly — and made the difficult choice to soldier on after the devastating 2021 death of drummer Charlie Watts — the on-and-off sessions they’d held for a potential new LP over the past decade hadn’t produced much they could use. When the Stones’ tour ended in Berlin last August, Jagger decided he’d had enough. So he pulled Keith Richards aside.

“I told Keith,...

The Rolling Stones are back with new material for their 24th British and 26th American studio album.

The album, Hackney Diamonds, will be available on October 20. The official announcement came at an event at London’s Hackney Empire Theatre. The event was hosted by Jimmy Fallon.

Fallon talked about the album to Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood. In the interview, the trio talked about how they finished the album in February. Jagger said he wanted to make a record that they “really love,” and they hoped the fans would feel the same way too.

At the end of the interview, the Stones showed the crowd and the live stream the world premiere of their music video “Angry,” which featured Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney. The music video features Sweeney riding around in a red convertible while driving past multiple large billboards featuring the Stones in different eras.

The album...

The legendary British rock band Rolling Stones have announced their first new album in over 18 years, titled ‘Hackney Diamonds’. This marks the first time the band will be releasing a brand new LP with original material.

In a live conversation with late-night host Jimmy Fallon, the British group – comprised of lead vocalist Mick Jagger, guitarist Ronnie Wood, writer and guitarist Keith Richards and drummer Steve Jordan – announced ‘Hackney Diamonds’ will come out October 20, Aceshowbiz reported.

The album will be a 12-track, LP is their first studio set of new material since 2005’s ‘A Bigger Bang’. In addition, the band also unveiled the first single from their album, ‘Angry’, which is accompanied by a music video starring ‘Euphoria’ actress Sydney Sweeney and directed by Francois Rousselet.

Wood said they began brainstorming ideas for an album around Christmas last year, and gave themselves a deadline to complete it by Valentine’s Day.

The Rolling Stones just dropped their brand new music video for “Angry”, starring a familiar face.

The clip features Sydney Sweeney, with the actress donning a rock chic ensemble for the appearance while riding around in a red convertible.

The vid also sees the band — consisting of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood — belt out the lyrics from different billboard clips.

The Rolling Stones will release their first album of original music in nearly two decades on Oct. 20, and it includes a collaboration with Lady Gaga.

At a press event in East London on Wednesday — hosted by Jimmy Fallon — the rock icons revealed details about Hackney Diamonds, the band’s new studio album. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood also unveiled the music video for the album’s first single, “Angry,” which was released Wednesday and stars Emmy-nominated actress Sydney Sweeney, who attended the event.

When Fallon asked her what crossed her mind when she got the call to star in the video, the Euphoria and The White Lotus actress said, “Oh, gosh. I mean, I freaked out, called my family, and brought my mom.” Her mom sat behind her at the event.

“I loved the song when I heard it. It’s been stuck in my head,” Sweeney added.

The Rolling Stones have revealed details of their first album of original material in 18 years, Hackney Diamonds, due out October 20th. The announcement was made during a livestream event hosted by Mick Jagger impersonator Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday.

According to social media posts from the band, more information about the record — which appears to be titled Hackney Diamonds — will be announced on September 6th.
