The Rolling Stones are making a triumphant return with their first album of original songs since 2005, titled “Hackney Diamonds.”

They’re set to unveil this highly-anticipated record at a special event in Hackney, a place deeply tied to the album’s essence, as per a press release.

This event, hosted by Jimmy Fallon, will be streamed live on YouTube, allowing fans worldwide to join in the excitement.

The album is generating buzz with rumours of prominent guest appearances, including Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, and Lady Gaga.

The announcement follows a clever teaser campaign that kicked off with a subtle ad in the Hackney Gazette, a local London newspaper.

Despite its facade as an advertisement for a glazing firm, the blurb cleverly weaved in references to iconic Rolling Stones songs and provided a phone number for fans to register their interest.

Over the weekend, the band teased one of the songs via the “dontgetangrywithme.com” website, but it turned out to be another elaborate stunt.

After a lengthy loading screen, the site only played a brief snippet of music before appearing to crash.

In response to fans’ supposed frustrations on social media, the band playfully quipped with a reference to the song’s opening lyric: “Sorry, don’t get angry with me.”

The big reveal will take place in Hackney, with all three remaining Stones – Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood – in attendance.

“Hackney Diamonds” marks their first original material album since 2005’s “A Bigger Bang” and their first without drummer Charlie Watts, who passed away in 2021.

Watts had recorded new drum tracks before his death, and Richards confirmed his presence on the new record.

Steve Jordan, who filled in for Watts on tour, is expected to accompany the band on other songs. Reports of Ringo Starr’s participation in the recording sessions have been downplayed.
