The legendary rock group’s first studio album since 2005 was launched at the historic 122-year-old Hackney Empire in London’s East End. The group’s three principals, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood, were interviewed live by “Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon. The album’s first single, “Angry,” complete with a music video featuringSweeney and her mother were surprise guests at the event. “This is the biggest thing ever,” Sweeney said at the launch.
The Stones spoke about how much they missed late drummer Charlie Watts and revealed that his playing can be heard on two of the album’s 12 tracks. The rest of the tracks feature veteran drummer Steve Jordan, handpicked by Watts to replace him. The band also revealed that Lady Gaga is featured on a song called “Sweet Sounds of Heaven.”
