Mick Jagger, 80; Keith Richards, who turns 80 Dec. 18; and Ronnie Wood, 76, are throwing in with the American Association of Retired Persons as the sponsor of their Stones Tour ’24 Hackney Diamonds, which kicks off April 28 in Houston.The two-month stadium trek — which includes a headlining show at the New Orleans Jazz Fest on May 2 and a MetLife Stadium stop in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on May 23, before wrapping up in Santa Clara, California on July 17 — is behind the Stones’ new album “Hackney Diamonds.”The band released its first LP of original material since 2005’s “A Bigger Bang” — and its first since the 2021 death of beloved drummer Charlie Watts — in October.Reflecting on the 18 years since their last album of new material in September, Jagger quipped, “We’ve been very lazy.”But, he added, “We didn’t want to make just any record and put it out … Before we went in [to make ‘Hackney Diamonds’], we all said, ‘We’ve got to make a record that we really love ourselves.’ Other people may like it, other people may not.

The Rolling Stones have confirmed a collaboration with EA Sports FC 24, with the iconic rock & roll band designing an in-game vanity kit.The kit is one of three new artist-designed outfits coming to EA Sports FC 24, with DJ Michaël Brun and afropop star Obongjayar also working on special vanity kits.“I’ve been an EA Sports fan my whole life, so to be able to create my own kit in EA Sports FC 24 is honestly a dream come true,” said Brun in a statement. “Being able to merge my culture, my love of football and fashion in one collaboration is a true honour.

The Rolling Stones have been honoured with the British Phonographic Industry’s (BPI) BRIT Billion Award for reaching the landmark of one billion career UK streams.The rock veterans are the latest recipients of the award by the BPI, the representative voice for the UK’s world-leading record labels and music companies, which means they join acts including ABBA, Coldplay and Queen in the award list.BPI’s BRIT Billion Award was officially launched in May. It was founded to reflect that streaming is now the dominant mode of music consumption (more than 85 per cent of the UK’s recorded music is streamed).Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, AJ Tracey, Ellie Goulding, Lewis Capaldi, Headie One, RAYE, Olivia Rodrigo and Billie Eilish have all been honoured with the BRIT Billion Award this year.Ed Sheeran, meanwhile, recently became the first artist to receive a special Gold edition of the award for reaching a landmark 10billion UK streams.The Rolling Stones have also become what the BPI called “the longest-active artist” in receipt of the award, noting that the band’s career spans seven decades.Last week, the Stones celebrated their 14th UK Number One album with ‘Hackney Diamonds‘, their first album of new material in 18 years.Dr.

Saturday Night Live‘s newest episode featured surprise cameos from Mick Jagger and Lady Gaga – watch the footage below.Yesterday’s episode (October 21), which saw Bad Bunny acting as both host and musical guest, aired two sketch cameos featuring the Rolling Stones frontman. In the first sketch, Bad Bunny and SNL cast member Marcello Hernandez starred as actors in a telenovela, filming a scene that ends in a slap.

the Rolling Stones was also releasing their new album, “Hackney Diamonds,” on Friday — the same day that she was dropping her first holiday LP, “Christmas.” “You know, I met them the first time they ever came to America,” the artist born Cherilyn Sarkisian — who was married to her late singing partner Sonny Bono at the time — told The Post. “They wanted to stay at our house, and we only had a living room and a bedroom, and we went, ‘You know, we can’t do it.’”Six decades later, Cher is as much of a living legend as the Stones.

Rolling Stones.But that apparently does not include camera rolls.

The Rolling Stones put out an album of new material — 2005’s “A Bigger Bang” — it was all the way back in the pre-Taylor Swift era.In the interim, the pop superstar has dropped 10 studio LPs — and rocked the music world the way the Stones once did in the 1960s and ’70s — while the legendary British band has released exactly one: 2016’s “Blue & Lonesome,” a collection of blues covers.Although the Stones continued to tour — and play the hits that everybody comes to hear — it certainly seemed as if they had given up on making original music and would ride those classics into the inevitable sunset.But perhaps jolted by the death of founding drummer Charlie Watts in 2021, the Stones are back with — dare I say it — a bang on “Hackney Diamonds,” out on Friday.With the band enlisting Grammy-winning producer Andrew Watt — a top studio gun for everyone from Miley Cyrus and Dua Lipa to Justin Bieber and Post Malone — you might be worried that Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood are making one last desperate attempt at the pop charts.Thankfully, that’s not the case. (And to his credit, Watt, 32, has some rock bonafides, too, having also produced Ozzy Osbourne, Iggy Pop and Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder.)“Hackney Diamonds” — which takes its title from the Hackney district in East London — feels like classic Stones, even if it’s not up to the gems of yesteryear.

Mick Jagger has announced the expansion of his harmonica line with the launch of the second range titled ‘Edition Two’.The rock icon announced his limited edition line of harmonicas in collaboration with whynow Music and Lee Oskar at the beginning of this year, with the collection selling out in a little over a month. Now, the Rolling Stones frontman has shared ‘Edition Two’, a red harp that features the Mick Jagger logo in black.Speaking of the collaboration in a press release, Jagger said: “I was blown away by the response to our first range of harmonicas! I hope everyone has enjoyed playing their harps, and that more people are falling in love with my favourite instrument.”He continued: “With artists like Little Nas X and Kendrick Lamar using it in their music today, I’m confident that the harmonica will be gracing stages around the world for a long time to come.”A post shared by Mick Jagger (@mickjagger)The instrument has been described as “meticulously designed harmonica that faithfully replicates the exact specifications used by Mick Jagger throughout his iconic career,” offering fans the opportunity to replicate “that unmistakable Jagger blues sound.”Just like the original, the harmonica will come in a Jagger-branded case.

Rolling Stones member Keith Richards has shared his hot takes on music. In a new interview published on The Telegraph, he says rap music is just "people yelling" and calls pop music "rubbish" in the profile. “I don’t really like to hear people yelling at me and telling me it’s music, a.k.a.

Keith Richards has explained that he isn’t a fan of rap music because he doesn’t enjoy “people yelling at me”.The Rolling Stones guitarist was speaking about the music he listens to in an interview with The Telegraph ahead of the release of the band’s forthcoming album ‘Hackney Diamonds’.In the interview, he mentioned that he listens to a wide variety of musical genres, including blues, jazz and classical, but dislikes pop and rap.“I don’t want to start complaining about pop music,” he said. “It’s always been rubbish.

The Rolling Stones is on the way in light of the band’s upcoming album ‘Hackney Diamonds’.The project is set to centre on the surviving members as they worked on writing and recording their forthcoming 24th studio album.The rock icons announced details of the LP last week and shared its lead single ‘Angry’, which came with a music video starring Euphoria actress Sydney Sweeney.Now it’s been confirmed that Sir Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood will be in the new documentary, which is being made with Fulwell 73, the same team behind The Kardashians series.“The film will chart the band as they started working on the 12 tracks which appear on ‘Hackney Diamonds’,” a source close to the project told The Sun’s Bizarre column (via The Mirror). “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 source also claimed that the documentary, the title of which has not yet been revealed, will also contain “nods to Charlie Watts”.

The Rolling Stones have shared details about an official announcement of their new album, ‘Hackney Diamonds’.The veteran rockers’ 24th record, confirmed in a press release to be their first of original music since 2005’s ‘A Bigger Bang’, is to be discussed in a video broadcast live exclusively on YouTube this Wednesday (September 6).‘Hackney Diamonds’ has also been confirmed as the album title after weeks of speculation.Last month it seemed that the new record had been announced via a cryptic advert in a local newspaper, while last week the band teased a worldwide “Hackney Diamonds” announcement with an augmented reality video clip and website.They also teased a snippet of a new single, ‘Angry’, via a website called dontgetangrywithme.comBandmembers Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood will be interviewed live on stage at an undisclosed location in Hackney, London on Wednesday by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon host, Jimmy Fallon.

The Rolling Stones have added fuel to the fire of new album rumours around the title of ‘Hackney Diamonds’, and have teased a worldwide announcement.The rock legends appear to be on the cusp of officially announcing their 24th album – likely to be their first record featuring original music since 2005’s ‘A Bigger Bang’ – which many believe is titled ‘Hackney Diamonds’.Today (September 1) the Stones posted an augmented reality video clip of their tongue and lips logo above an entrance to New York City’s 59th Street Columbus Circle subway station.

I Want My MTV,” “completely destroyed. “I mean broken glass tables, broken televisions, a full wet-bar with every glass broken,” the book reveals.Loder’s room was junked as well.Though a smiling Loder denied doing it — MTV kicked in with Nirvana’s tour manager to cover some $30,000 worth of damage — Finnerty has her doubts: “I have a hard time believing Krist would ruin his room and then ruin Kurt’s room, too.”But that was then.

now-79-year-old frontman, Mick Jagger.Initially, the first time that Metallica opened for anyone since 1992 was deemed “an honor and a privilege,” the band’s drummer, Lars Ulrich, said on this week’s episode of the podcast “Club Random With Bill Maher.”“At that time, we had played shows over our career with Deep Purple and AC/DC, with a few other bands, all the bands that I had posters of on my wall when I was a kid. And so the last one of those boxes to check was the Stones,” Ulrich told Maher.“So we’re sitting backstage, and — and this is in no way a judgment on the Stones, this is really more about us — at one point a a personal assistant or whatever comes and says, ‘Mick Jagger’s gonna walk through here in a couple minutes, he’s going over to his private gym in his truck and he’s going to warm up before the show.

Ronnie Wood has addressed rumours that Jeff Beck was invited to join the Rolling Stones, saying that he “wouldn’t have kept up with the timetable”.Wood was speaking to MOJO about the late musician, who died in January at the age of 78 after contracting bacterial meningitis.“He wouldn’t have kept up with the timetable! Eric Clapton once said to me, ‘I could have joined that band.’ I said, ‘Yeah, but you gotta live with them, Eric!'” remarked Wood [via MusicNews]He also said that Beck wasn’t keen on the spotlight, nor the “simple blues and rock ‘n’ roll” sound of the Stones. “Anything to do with the spotlight, he’d be like, ‘You can take care of this,’ and he would be gone.

It's one of the longest-standing rivalries in rock history but it seems The Rolling Stones and The Beatles aren't interested in who is better, they just want to work together.

Tina: The Tina Turner Musical, after singing with The Rolling Stones.The musician had been portraying Tina Turner in a West End production of Tina but was offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to perform ‘Gimme Shelter’ with The Rolling Stones in Milan.Haynes appeared with the Stones in place of their longstanding backup singer, Sasha Allen, who sat the Milan show out for an unspecified reason. A mentee of the iconic Quincy Jones, Haynes is best known as one third of the gospel trio Trinitee 5:7. More recently, she played the lead role in the UK’s production of Tina.“I can’t say exactly when I got the call because I don’t want to give timelines,” Haynes told Rolling Stone magazine about the offer from the legendary rock band.

The Rolling Stones paid tribute to The Beatles by covering their 1963 hit ‘I Wanna Be Your Man’.Originally penned by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, the Stones were actually the first to release a version of the song. They put it out as a single – their second – on November 1, 1963, exactly three weeks before The Beatles’ own recording appeared on their second UK album, ‘With The Beatles’.

The Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger has opened up about losing Charlie Watts in a new interview.The longtime Rolling Stones drummer died at the age of 80 last August prompting a huge outpouring of tributes from the music world and beyond.Speaking to The Sunday Times about Watts, Jagger said: “I don’t really expect him to be there any more if I turn round during a show.

“Exile on Main St.” album.In fact, the drug-fueled debauchery had Keith Richards — in the throes of a heroin addiction — going MIA within his French villa where the Stones recorded the sprawling double LP, which was released 50 years ago on May 12, 1972. “Keith had his son Marlon with him, and he would say, ‘Oh, I’m gonna go put Marlon to bed.’ And then you wouldn’t see him for a day and a half,” said Anthony DeCurtis, who wrote the liner notes for the 2010 reissue of “Exile on Main St.” as well as the 2021 book “The Rolling Stones: Unzipped.” “And I think that that was beginning to create issues in the band. One of your main songwriters and, in many ways, the musical driving force of the band is somebody who’s having drug problems.

Keith Richards has said that The Rolling Stones have no plans to sell their publishing.His comments come as other veteran acts including Bob Dylan, Stevie Nicks and Bruce Springsteen parted with their publishing catalogues recently for large payouts.Talking to CBS This Morning, Richards said: “Mick and I have not spoken about it on a serious level. I don’t know if we’re ready to sell our catalogue.“We might drag it out a bit, put some more stuff in it. The only thing about selling your catalogue…it’s a sign of getting old.”Elsewhere in the interview Richards reflected on the “shock” of losing drummer Charlie Watts last year.“I think he tried to keep [his health] under the wraps last year,” the guitarist said.
