The Rolling Stones announced they will release their first studio album since 2005 on Monday.
The band teased new music in the Hackney Gazette, a the British newspaper, in August. The ad made numerous references to the band saying, “Our friendly team promises you Satisfaction. When you say Gimme Shelter we’ll fix your shattered windows.” Additionally, the bottom of the ad read: “Est. 1962.” which is the same year the Rolling Stones became a band.
There was even a tiny lips-and-tongue logo above the company’s name. At the time of posting, if viewers went to HackneyDiamonds.com and clicked on the Privacy link, they were taken to a page belonging to Universal Music Group, the Stones’ label. However, now the link goes to the band’s official announcement with Jimmy Fallon.
Fans will find out more information about “Hackney Diamonds” tomorrow. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood will do a live interview with Jimmy Fallon in London. The event will be live-streamed exclusively on YouTube on Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. BST, 9:30 a.m. EST and 6:30 a.m. PST. The band shared details on Twitter.
“Hackney may be at the heart of Hackney Diamonds, but this is a truly global moment we want to share with fans around the world via YouTube,” the Rolling Stones shared in a statement.
