The Rolling Stones will release a new album of originals called “Hackney Diamonds”, the first since 2005’s “A Bigger Bang” and after the death of drummer Charlie Watts.
The announcement was made via social media on Monday, with more details to be revealed on Wednesday at an event in Hackney, the London area, where band members Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood will be interviewed by US broadcaster Jimmy Fallon. .
“Let’s talk about the new album, new music, new era,” read the band’s post about their conversation with Fallon at 2:30 pm (Lisbon time).
According to the Rolling Stones, quoted by the Associated Press, “Hackney may be at the center of Hackney Diamonds, but this is a truly global moment that we want to share with fans around the world via YouTube.”
The implementation of this announcement followed a campaign that featured the band’s logo in several cities such as New York and Paris and the launch of a dedicated “website” for the album.
The Rolling Stones formed in 1962 in London and have since maintained an uninterrupted activity and popularity that is unprecedented in the history of popular music, as evidenced by the group’s entry in the Encyclopædia Britannica.
After “A Bigger Bang” in 2005, the band released an album of blues versions called “Blue & Lonesome”, which won a Grammy Award for Best Album of the Genre, the second award the band received from “Sympathy for the Devil”. after “Voodoo Lounge” won the Best Rock Album award.
