The Rolling Stones today announced the release of ‘Hackney Diamonds’, their first album of original music in 18 years, at the Hackney Empire Theater in east London.

“We’re here to present our new single, which is called ‘Angry’ and its video, and ‘Angry’ is the first single from our new album, which is called ‘Hackney Diamonds’, which is why which we’re in Hackney, which comes out on October 20,” the band’s frontman Mick Jagger, 80, said on Jimmy Fallon’s US talk show live online.

Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood — the surviving core of the band that formed 61 years ago, all dressed in black — arrived at the theater in a London taxi, with Jagger paying the fare. in cash.

Music fans have been waiting for the announcement after a cryptic ad appeared in a local newspaper last month, with references to some of the Stones’ best-known tracks and the title of the new album.

Music videos for “Angry” have also been uploaded to the website “don’tgetangrywithme.com”.

The album, whose title refers to broken glasses after a robbery, will be the first since the death of drummer Charlie Watts in August 2021.
