The Rolling Stones are back in business this year with a new album, Foreign Tongues, released on 10 July 2026. Meanwhile, Mick Jagger says he is somewhat bemused by the popularity of a classic Stones song from the ’60s.

In new interviews with MOJO magazine, Jagger and guitarists Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood discuss the making of Foreign Tongues and also look back on the Stones’ rich history.
