Both Lady Gaga and Stevie Wonder have shared the stage with the Stones. In the case of the singer, her participation took place during a 2012 show, performing “Gimme Shelter”.
The partnership with the musician goes back even further: it dates back to 1972, when they toured together and Wonder took the stage for a medley of “Satisfaction” and “Uptight (Everything’s Alright)”.
The Rolling Stones’ last studio album was A Bigger Band, released in 2005 with 16 tracks. The production ended up getting a remastered version years later.
“Hackney Diamonds” is scheduled for release on October 20th.
