Lady Gaga Is Working on Brand New Collab With the Rolling Stones
The pop legend is being featured on the iconic band's first album of original music in 18 years!
Nearly two decades after the release of A Bigger Bang, The Rolling Stones are back with a brand new original album — and this time around they’re working with none other than pop icon Lady Gaga.
Mick Jagger, 80, Keith Richards, 79, and Ronnie Wood, 76 — the three current members of The Rolling Stones — are being joined by Gaga on the track “Sweet Sound of Heaven” on their upcoming album Hackney Diamonds.
" Lady Gaga sings really sweet on 'Sweet Sound of Heaven,'" Stones guitarist Wood said Wednesday during a live-streamed interview with Jimmy Fallon where the band was promoting the release of the music video for the single “Angry” starring Euphoria’s Sydney Sweeney.
Gaga isn't the only famous musician to join the legendary British rockers on their album named after the shards of glass that are left after a robbery, as both Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder are also featured.
While we know very little about the new song, this isn’t the first time Gaga has worked with the Stones. During their 50th anniversary tour in 2012, she joined the band on stage to perform “Gimme Shelter” from their 1969 album Let It Bleed.
The new 12-track album comes 18 years after the last time they released an album of original songs and it’s the first they’ve completed since the death of founding drummer Charlie Watts in 2021.
“He’s No. 4, he’s missing, he’s up there. Of course he’s missed incredibly,” Richards said.
Although two of the tracks on the band’s 26th studio album were recorded with Watts in 2019, most of the album will feature Steve Jordan, who Watts wanted to take his place if anything happened to him. Richards said that moving on and working with someone new “would have been a lot harder without Charlie’s blessing.”
The Rolling Stones' new album Hackney Diamonds drops on Oct. 20. Watch the music video for the single "Angry" below.
