‘Hackney Diamonds’ is their first album of original music for 18 years and the first since the death of drummer Charlie Watts.
LONDON: The Rolling Stones announced “Hackney Diamonds”, their first album of original music for 18 years and first since the death of drummer Charlie Watts, who played on two of the tracks, at the Hackney Empire on Wednesday.
Frontman Jagger, 80, said the band were “pretty fired up” to record new music. “Every day was kind of like banging through two or three songs, so you keep the excitement,” he told Reuters after the launch, which was streamed live. Richards, whose song-writing partnership with Jagger is one of the most enduring and successful in rock, said Watts’s 2021 death had spurred the band to record new music.
Former Stones bass player Bill Wyman, new drummer Steve Jordan, ex-Beatle Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder were all involved in the album, the band told broadcasters.
