Hackney Diamonds is the follow-up to 2016’s Grammy Award-winning, Blue & Lonesome, which featured cover versions of the band members’ favorite blues tracks. Hackney Diamonds also marks the band’s first studio album of original material since 2005’s A Bigger Bang (a three-disc vinyl version of that album features live performances from the Stones’ “Bigger Band World Tour” in Rio de Janeiro).
As for Diamonds, the new album features guest appearances by Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Lady Gaga, and Elton John. One person who won’t be heard on the album: the Stones’ legendary drummer Charlie Watts, who passed away in 2021.

In a new interview with Rolling Stone, the remaining group members say they felt an urgency to create a new record, both to honor Watts and to capture some of the new sounds they were experimenting with on tour and in the studio.
“The thing started with Mick [Jagger] saying, ‘It’s important now that we make a record,’” Keith Richards says. “I’ve always thought that, but I said, ‘Well done, Mick.’ So he said, ‘We should blitz this thing and go for it.’ I said, ‘If you think you have enough material that you want to sing, then I’m right there behind you.’
