Hackney Empire gave shelter to The Rolling Stones yesterday afternoon, as rockers Mick, Keith and Ronnie took to the east London stage to announce their new album. We hear the band were going to play live, but didn’t at the last minute. Instead, they sang an impromptu a cappella version of Off the Hook, from their 1965 second album, led by compere Jimmy Fallon.
Fans can expect lots more from the group soon, as they are making a new documentary. The event was tightly managed by James Corden’s Fulwell 73 production company, who made a One Direction film, and there were cameras everywhere. Crew took over a nearby pub and Pizza Express.
