Rolling Stones to Launch First Original Album in 20 Years, Honoring Late Drummer

The much-anticipated news is finally out: celebrated rock band The Rolling Stones are poised to debut fresh music, their first original content in nearly two decades since their 2005 album “A Bigger Bang”.

Dubbed “Hackney Diamonds”, details of the impending release are slated to be revealed in East London’s Hackney district. Band members Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood will be the center of an exclusive live interview with Jimmy Fallon, host of “The Tonight Show”.

Specially organized for this event, an exclusive livestream will be broadcast on YouTube. Starting at 2:30 p.m. BST, 9:30 a.m. EST, and 6:30 a.m. PST on Wednesday, fans from across the globe will be able to virtually attend the reveal.

On the upcoming album’s significance, the Rolling Stones said, “Hackney may be at the heart of Hackney Diamonds, but this is a truly global moment we want to share with fans around the world via YouTube.”

The unveiling of “Hackney Diamonds” began with an intriguing teaser campaign. The band’s well-known mouth and tongue logo started appearing projected onto renowned landmarks across major cities globally, including New York, London, and Paris.

This much-awaited album also carries a poignant note as it marks the Stones’ first release since the passing of their drummer, Charlie Watts, in 2021.
