Rolling Stones have 'recorded huge new album' after scrapping upcoming tour
The Rolling Stones are said to be working on a new album after reportedly deciding to scrap plans for a comeback tour in Europe. It's claimed that the group have more than a dozen songs ready to go after spending time in the studio.
Bandmates Mick Jagger, 81, Keith Richards, 81, and Ronnie Wood, 78, are said to have been working in Metropolis Studios in London since April. It's reported that they are now in discussions over the release of their 25th studio album.
It's been suggested that the trio have collaborated again with producer Andrew Watt. He worked with the Rolling Stones on their last album Hackney Diamonds, which topped the UK Albums Chart following its release back in 2023.
According to the Sun, Mick, Keith, and Ronnie are working on the new album after scrapping plans for a summer tour in the UK and other countries. The band's potential European tour had been rumoured earlier this year.
A source told the outlet: "Mick, Keith and Ronnie have been secretly recording their new record with their drummer Steve Jordan." It's claimed that the band are "happy" with 13 songs and are discussing when to release it.
The source went on to discuss the rumoured tour, saying that it didn't work out. They said: "Originally, the plan was for them to bring their huge US tour to the UK and Europe this summer, but promoters couldn't get the dates to work."
They continued: "Instead the Stones decided to get back into the studio and put down their next album." The source suggested that it's "massive" news for fans who didn't get a chance to see the acclaimed band perform live this year.
There was speculation over a possible tour in January. It was suggested at the time that the band could return to the UK with their Hackney Diamonds tour to play four dates at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the capital city.
A source told the Daily Mail that Mick, Keith and Ronnie couldn't wait to bring the tour to the UK. They said: "They've been planning it for months and are itching to get back out on the road and do what they do best, which is perform."
Prior to subsequent reports that the tour plans had been shelved, it was initially suggested that they would also visit other locations in Europe. There was speculation that the other shows would be in Barcelona, Rome, Amsterdam and Paris.
The speculation came following the Rolling Stones' Hackney Diamonds in the US and Canada last year. The trio performed at a host of venues, including SoFi Stadium in Inglewood and BC Place in Vancouver, whilst on the tour.
The tour was in support of their album Hackney Diamonds, which was released the previous year. It was their eighth studio album to top the charts in the UK, following in the footsteps of albums like Aftermath and Emotional Rescue.

Sydney has scored a golden-hued Italian restaurant with a former Clam Bar chef
Martin Place keeps getting better and better with the arrival of Rovollo, a new family-run Italian go-to by the team behind Mille Vini and Rosie Campbell's, now open on the ground floor of Harry Seidler's skyscraper. The 75-seat restaurant and wine bar, which offers indoor and alfresco seating, brings old-school hospitality, a standout, golden-hued dining room and the warmth of Italy's lively eateries to the drinking and dining hub, joining nearby heavy-hitters Aalia, The International and Cabana Bar. Expect fresh, handmade pastas – like the signature pici carbonara served tableside from a gigantic Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese wheel, then topped with crisp nuggets of guanciale, a canary-yellow yolk and pecorino snow. Plus, a 250+-strong wine list – including 25 by-the-glass options – and a standout dining room featuring a hand-painted ceiling mural swirling with terracotta, honey and amber tones that looks like a flowing sarong worn in the European sun. Andrew Wallace, Esper Group director, says: 'We want the care and love we're pouring into the venue to be felt by our guests, so that when they're here, they're doing more than just consuming a meal. 'We want to take them on a journey where they feel welcome, know they will receive elevated yet personal service, and create memories each time they visit,' he adds. Rovollo's kitchen team is also impressive, with executive chef Cami Feliciano (ex- Seta) and head chef Zane Buchanan (ex- Clam Bar, Fish Butchery) creating a menu of Italian classics, beautifully done. Think housemade focaccia, golden arancini and a must-order yellowfin tuna crudo amped up with pickled tomatoes. Other highlights include vongole spaghetti with chilli butter and zest, an 800g steak of the day served with your choice of sauce, and a 24-layer dark chocolate cake with a warm rosemary-infused berry compote. Cocktails are no afterthought. Try the bright and citrusy Amalfi, made with grappa and finished with a salted limoncello blue foam. Or The Napoli: a freezer gin- or vodka-based Martini with charred focaccia vermouth, burrata whey, basil and tomato oil. Rovollo's $115 per person set menu includes four antipasti dishes, a pasta or protein, sides and Rovollo's tiramisu spoon. Go for that, I reckon. These are the best Italian restaurants in Sydney. Looking for something to wash it all down with? These are our favourite bars in Sydney right now.

Cole Palmer stars as Chelsea claim stunning Club World Cup victory against PSG
Palmer scored two fine goals and created another for Joao Pedro, all in the first half, as the Premier League side defied huge odds in New York to shock the reigning European champions. Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez was also outstanding as the Blues, who had been clear underdogs at the MetLife Stadium, secured a jackpot in excess of £90million as the first winners of FIFA's new 32-team tournament. FIFA CLUB WORLD CUP WINNERS!!! 🏆 — Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) July 13, 2025 PSG lost their discipline in the closing stages and Joao Neves was sent off with five minutes remaining for pulling the hair of Marc Cucurella. FIFA, the world governing body, had been determined to make the occasion, which was attended by US President Donald Trump, a huge success. The pre-match programme, which included a performance from Robbie Williams and a US Air Force flyover, overran and led to a kick-off delay – but Chelsea all but had the game wrapped up before Doja Cat appeared at half-time. It was a remarkable achievement against a PSG side that had been chasing their fifth trophy of a glorious season. Palmer, the Conference League final match-winner, was at his dazzling best and many in the stadium thought he had opened the scoring after eight minutes when he curled narrowly wide from a Pedro flick. PSG should have made the most of that reprieve and taken the lead themselves after Fabian Ruiz played in Desire Doue, but he opted to pass instead of shoot and Cucurella cleared. Doue did get an effort on goal shortly afterwards but Sanchez reacted well. Palmer took charge of the match after 22 minutes when he placed a left-foot shot perfectly into the bottom corner after Malo Gusto had seen his own attempt blocked. PSG were left reeling when he repeated the feat just eight minutes later. This time Palmer created the opportunity himself, latching onto a long ball from Levi Colwill and cutting inside from the right, and the finish was every bit as composed. He was not finished there either, turning provider before the interval to slip Pedro through on goal. The Brazilian, who scored twice on his full debut in the semi-final win over Fluminense, showed equally great composure to lift the ball over Gianluigi Donnarumma. Mr Trump said he was 'having a really great time' when interviewed by broadcaster DAZN at half-time and the Chelsea fans in the 81,118 crowd would doubtless have said likewise after such a scintillating display. PSG rallied but Sanchez kept out a header from Neves and then showed brilliant reflexes to paw away a close-range snap-shot on the turn from Ousmane Dembele. Liam Delap had a superb effort pushed away by Donnarumma within moments of coming off the Chelsea bench and went close again soon after. PSG were beaten and frustration was evident as Neves clashed with Cucurella and earned a red card after tugging at the Spaniard's hair. There were further scuffles after the final whistle as Chelsea's squad and staff poured onto the field to celebrate and PSG manager Luis Enrique was involved in an ugly incident with Pedro.
