If you prefer the way The Rolling Stones sound live compared to a studio setting, then we have some great news for you. The legendary rockers just announced they are releasing a live version of their latest album, Hackney Diamonds. Well, sort of.

Titled Hackney Diamonds Live Deluxe, the release will come as a double CD. The first CD will contain the original album, while the second CD will come with live tracks from the band’s surprise show at Racket NYC in October.

The Rolling Stones played a seven-song set at Racket NYC as part of the launch event for the new album. The gig featured live debuts of Hackney Diamonds songs “Angry,” ”Whole Wide World,” “Bite My Head Off,” and “Sweet Sounds of Heaven,” with Lady Gaga joining the band for the performance of the latter. It also saw the band playing classic tracks “Shattered,” “Tumbling Dice,” and “Jumpin Jack Flash.”

Hackney Diamonds Live Deluxe will officially be out on December 15, available as a limited edition physical copy as well as digital version.

The Rolling Stones will also give fans an opportunity to hear them live in person in the first half of 2024. The group recently announced a tour, which will see them playing 19 shows across North America between April and July.

Charlie Watts, the longtime drummer of rock legends The Rolling Stones, has died on Tuesday at the age of 80. The news was confirmed in a statement released by Watt’s London publicist Bernard Doherty.

According to the statement, which was shared on Rolling Stones’ official social media accounts, Watts “died peacefully in a London hospital surrounded by his family.”

Music stars and other celebrities from all over the world paid tribute to Watts shortly after the news was confirmed. This included The Beatles’ Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, Chuck D of the Public Enemy, singer/songwriter Lenny Kravitz, and Sir Elton John.

Earlier in August, The Rolling Stones announced that Charlie Watts would miss the band’s upcoming No Filter Tour across the United States. At the time, the band revealed that Watts is forced to sit out the live shows after undergoing a medical procedure. No further details were shared.

Watts started his music career with the band Blues Incorporated before joining The Rolling Stones in 1963, one year after the band was formed. He went on to serve as their drummer for almost 60 years while appearing on every studio album the group has released. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are the only other members of the band to do so as well.

Besides his work with The Rolling Stones, Watts released several solo and collaboration albums with instrumental music.
