Rolling Stones Reportedly Work on 25th Album After Cancelling UK, Europe Tour

The Rolling Stones are currently working on their 25th studio album at Metropolis Studios in London, having laid down 13 tracks since April with producer Andrew Watt, who also worked on their 2023 album Hackney Diamonds. The band, consisting of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, and drummer Steve Jordan, decided to scrap their planned 2025 UK and European tour due to scheduling conflicts, choosing instead to focus on completing the new album. Discussions about the release date for the new record are underway, sparking speculation that a potential 2026 tour could coincide with the album's release. Meanwhile, the band plans to release a remastered edition of their 1976 album Black and Blue in November to celebrate Ronnie Wood's 50th anniversary with the group, including two new tracks. Fans who missed seeing the band live in 2024 are eagerly anticipating the forthcoming album and possible future tours, marking another chapter in the Rolling Stones' storied career that spans over six decades.
