The album also sees the trio joined by regular collaborators Darryl Jones, Matt Clifford and Steve Jordan and includes a special appearance from their late drummer Charlie Watts, captured during one of his final recording sessions before his passing in 2021.
Additional contributions come from an impressive line-up of guest artists, including Steve Winwood, Beatles legend Paul McCartney, The Cure’s Robert Smith and Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Meanwhile legendary guitarist Keith Richards has said The Stones will not be touring in 2026, but has teased at plans to head out on the road next year.
Quizzed if they plan to support their new record with tour dates this year, Richards told the Associated Press at the band's launch event in New York: “We can talk next year. At the moment, we’re just sort of saying, we’ve finished the record… [and we’re] considering what to do after. Pretty soon, but not this year.”

The Sympathy For The Devil legends last embarked on a live tour in 2024 supporting their last album, Hackney Diamonds, with a string of North American dates.
In late 2025, it was reported that the band were set to announce a European stint for 2026, but the plans were scrapped because Richards - who’s affectionately known as Keef - was unable to commit to the dates.
The last time the Rolling Stones UK dates took place in 2022, when the band played two huge homecoming shows at BST Hyde Park in London, followed by a milestone return to Liverpool with a date at Anfield Stadium.
The show marked their first gig in the city since 1971 and their first-ever stadium gig in Liverpool overall.
