Reports suggest that the legendary rockers have been in the studio since April.

The Rolling Stones have reportedly begun work on a new record.

According to The Sun, the legendary band have been in the recording studio working on their 25th studio album and the follow-up to Hackney Diamonds since April.

The outlet adds that the band - comprised of Mick Jagger (81), Keith Richards (81) and Ronnie Wood (78)- have already laid down 13 songs and are in discussions over a potential release date.

"Mick, Keith and Ronnie have been secretly recording their new record with their drummer Steve Jordan," a source said. "They’ve got 13 songs they’re happy with and they are discussing when they can release it."

The outlet added that the Paint It Black legends will team up producer with Andrew Wyatt for the album, who worked on their last release - which went straight to the UK charts at number one.

It was previously reported that the band were set to announce Hackney Diamonds dates in the UK and Europe this summer, but the tour abandoned because the promoters couldn't make the dates work.

The Rolling Stones last played the UK in 2022, with a duo of dates at BST Hyde Park.
