For the first time in nearly two decades, rock legends The Rolling Stones are back with a new album of original material, Hackney Diamonds.

The album, which features guitarist Ronnie Wood, Mick Jagger, and Keith Richards, was announced during a press conference back in September, at the Hackney Empire.

Hackney Diamonds will feature 12 songs, all of which have been co-written by Jagger and Richards.

Lady Gaga and Stevie Wonder feature on a gospel song titled Sweet Sounds of Heaven, while Paul McCartney plays bass for rock hit Bite My Head Off.

And it look like fans might not have to wait another 18 years for the release of more Stones music to be released.

Talking in an interview with NME, Ronnie Woods said: “We’ve got (things) up our sleeve for, you know, more music to come because we cut about 23 songs and we only picked the first 12.

“I don’t think it will be that long (for new music again).”

With the release of Hackney Diamonds on the horizon, now’s your chance to revisit the band’s discography, which has spanned more than six decades and includes numerous studio albums, compilation albums and live albums.
