Mick Jagger, 82, Reveals Touring Plans Amid New Rolling Stones Album

After more than six decades, The Rolling Stones still aren’t slowing down.
On July 10, the rock and roll band is set to release their 25th studio album, “Foreign Tongues.”
Rolling Stones frontman and legendary rocker Mick Jagger chatted with Willie Geist for the June 14 edition of Sunday Sitdown about plans for the upcoming album, including a potential tour.
“Well, I’d love to. I really want to. And, I’m ready to go,” Jagger, 82, told Willie when asked if they’ll head back on the road.
“I don’t think we’re gonna do shows this year, but hopefully we’ll do shows next year,” he added.
The Stones last went on tour in the summer of 2024 to perform their most recent album, “Hackney Diamonds,” released in October 2023.
This next album has “a lot of styles in it,” Jagger says. For the Stones, that was intentional: “You hope that every track has got something for everyone. That’s why you’ve got, you know, 14 tracks.”
While four of the tracks were recorded during studio sessions for earlier albums, the 10 tracks made just for “Foreign Tongues” were written and recorded in the span of just four weeks, Jagger said.
Back in earlier years, it used to take months for the rockers to generate an album they were happy with, the rocker said. Now that the bandmates all write more on their own, they can come together and make music more quickly.
But even being over six decades into a career that helped define rock and roll, Jagger told Willie he still feels nervous for this new release.
“You spend a lot of time on (the album), and it’s your baby,” he says. “You want (people) to take notice of what you’ve done.”
