Sir Paul McCartney to play with Rolling Stones on new album

Sir Paul McCartney will make an appearance on The Rolling Stones' next studio album. The collaboration will unite the two bands that dominated the British rock scene of the 1960s.

A spokesman for the Stones said McCartney had found himself in a nearby recording studio while Sir Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were mixing their record. The former Beatle, 80, provided a bass part to one of the tracks expected to feature on the upcoming album, which remains untitled and is due to be released later this year.

The LP will feature the late Charlie Watts on around half its songs, with current drummer Steve Jordan on the others, it is understood. It will be first collection of new Stones songs since 2005's A Bigger Bang - their last studio effort, 2016's Blue and Lonesome, was dedicated to blues covers.
