Mick Jagger, the frontman of The Rolling Stones, expressed his excitement about returning to touring as the iconic band gets ready to launch their upcoming album, “Foreign Tongues.” Jagger, alongside fellow guitarist Ronnie Wood, hinted at the possibility of another tour during an appearance on BBC Radio 2’s Tracks of My Years. The 82-year-old musician mentioned his eagerness to hit the road again, stating that while it may not happen this year, he is looking forward to it as soon as possible.
The Rolling Stones, known for hits like “Paint It, Black” and “Sympathy for the Devil,” are gearing up for the release of their 25th studio album, “Foreign Tongues,” on July 10. The album, which follows the success of their Grammy-winning 2023 release “Hackney Diamonds,” has already created a buzz with collaborations from music legends like Sir Paul McCartney, Robert Smith of The Cure, and Chad Smith of Red Hot Chili Peppers. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie have been actively promoting the album, including appearances with comedian Conan O’Brien in Brooklyn.
While specific tour dates are yet to be announced, Ronnie Wood recently completed his first solo tour in over 16 years across the UK and Europe. Keith Richards also hinted at the possibility of future tours, suggesting that discussions are ongoing post the album release. The band’s longevity and ability to surprise fans even after six decades in the industry have kept the speculation alive about their next moves, especially with reports indicating that “Foreign Tongues” was recorded in intense London sessions and features tracks with contributions from the late drummer Charlie Watts.
