Rolling Stones to Release First Studio Album in 18 Years

The Rolling Stones are releasing a new studio album—their first in 18 years and the first since drummer Charlie Watts’ death in 2021. According to Variety, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ron Wood will officially announce ‘Hackey Diamonds’ on Wednesday in a livestreamed event hosted by Jimmy Fallon. The band, which started in 1962, said it was gearing up for “new album, new music, new era” but did not say whether that includes a new global tour.
