Keith Richards has said that The Rolling Stones were prompted to make their new album, ‘Hackney Diamonds’, partly because of drummer Charlie Watts‘ death.Watts passed away from throat cancer in August 2021, at the age of 80. However, he still plays on two songs from the record, ‘Mess It Up’ and ‘Live By The Sword’.Richards has pinpointed that in a new interview as one of the things that compelled him and Mick Jagger to get back into the studio.

Mick Jagger has said he regrets having waited so long to record a new Rolling Stones album.The legendary band released ‘Hackney Diamonds’ on Friday (October 20), their first studio record of new material in 18 years – by far the longest gap between releases in the band’s 60-year career.With Jagger now having turned 80, and guitarist Keith Richards set to join him in December, the singer has been speaking to The Guardian, where he was asked whether he regrets the length of time between releases.“Yeah, kind of,” he said. “That I wasn’t cracking the whip. Keith keeps saying in interviews, ‘When Mick’s ready to do a record, I’ll do it.’ I went, OK? If that’s all I have to say, then great! We’d got into this groove of going on big tours.

He responded: “I do not understand what you mean.”The interviewer then attempted to “explain musical hierarchy” to Cantona.“No,” he said.

Naman Ramachandran Mick Jagger is basking in the acclaim for the new Rolling Stones album “Hackney Diamonds,” the band’s first album of new material since 2005’s “A Bigger Bang.” Reviewing the album for Variety, Jem Aswad said it “sounds classic without feeling dated,” adding “if there’s a better way to end the Rolling Stones’ 60-plus-year recording career, it’s hard to imagine what it could be.” “I’ve got really good reactions from people that seem to be genuine,” Jagger told The Guardian. In a freewheeling interview with the British newspaper, Jagger, 80, weighed in on mortality, missing late drummer Charlie Watts and contemporary U.S. politics.

Lady Gaga‘s new song with the Rolling Stones is featured on the band’s new album and she stepped out for the album release party!

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music News arrived gradually of the Rolling Stones’ special celebration in New York of their new album, “Hackney Diamonds.” First it was a “Rolling Stones event on the evening of Oct. 19,” then it was an album-release party, and then rumors spread that they were going to perform “a couple of songs, but with the boys, you never know” (yes, the person quoted actually called them “the boys”).

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music To put the rather overheated hype around the new Rolling Stones album in superfan-quibbling terms, “Hackney Diamonds” is not their best work since “Some Girls,” released some 45 years ago — but it is their best since “Tattoo You,” which is just three years younger. That the Stones have reached such a peak while grappling with what an octogenarian rock band should sound like — one that recently lost their drummer of nearly 60 years, no less — is perhaps the most impressive feat of all.
