The Rolling Stones have shared the star-studded tracklist for their upcoming album Hackney Diamonds. As reported, Paul McCartney will be featured on âBite My Head Off,â contributing bass, but he's not the only big name on the album. Lady Gaga and Stevie Wonder provide vocals and piano, respectively, on "Sweet Sounds of Heaven," while âGet Closeâ and âLive By the Swordâ feature Elton John on piano. The album's lead single "Angry" will also be the opening track.
âI donât want to be big-headed but we wouldnât have put this album out if we hadnât really liked it,â Mick Jagger explained. âWe said we had to make a record we really love ourselves.â
Hackney Diamonds is the Stones' first album of new material in nearly 20 years and first since drummer Charlie Watts' death. Last week, Ronnie Wood confirmed that Watts recorded drums for "Live By The Sword" and "Mess It Up" before passing away in 2021.
Hackney Diamonds is slated for an October 20 release. See the full tracklist below.
