LADY GAGA JOINS ICONIC ROLLING STONES FOR THEIR FIRST ALBUM IN NEARLY TWO DECADES!

Lady Gaga is teaming up with The Rolling Stones for their 26th album, set to drop on October 20, marking the band's first original music album since 2005. The album, titled "Hackney Diamonds," will feature other special guests like original member Bill Wyman and the late drummer Charlie Watts.

During a chat with Jimmy Fallon at Hackney Empire in East London, Mick Jagger mentioned that most of the new tracks on the album were recorded with drummer Steve Jordan, but two were from 2019 with Charlie Watts. Lady Gaga, on the other hand, lends her vocals to the song "Sweet Sound Of Heaven."

Bill Wyman, the original bassist for the band who was with them from 1962 to 1993, also contributes to one of the tracks, reuniting the original lineup on that song. The Rolling Stones' previous album, "A Bigger Bang," came out in 2005.

As for the album's name, Keith Richards explained that they considered several titles but settled on "Hackney Diamonds" as a nod to their London roots.
