The Rolling Stones have just dropped some more info about their upcoming album, Hackney Diamonds, which drops October 20.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers have confirmed the guests appearing on the record, including the already announced appearance of their late drummer Charlie Watts on two tracks: “Mess It Up” and “Live By The Sword” featuring their former bassist Bill Wyman.
“Live By The Sword” also features special guest Elton John on piano; he also plays piano on the track “Get Close.”
