Rolling Stones celebrate new album launch

The Rolling Stones turned heads in London as bandmates Mick Jagger and Ronnie Wood attended an exclusive launch party for their new album, Foreign Tongues, accompanied by their longtime partners, Melanie Hamrick and Sally Humphreys.

Jagger arrived with Hamrick, the former ballerina with whom he shares a son, while Wood was joined by his wife Humphreys. 

The couples posed together before joining guests celebrating the band's 25th studio album, which is scheduled for release on Friday.

The launch event featured a spectacular drone light display over London's River Thames, illuminating the sky with the band's iconic lips-and-tongue logo in tribute to the legendary rock group.

Speaking during the celebrations, Jagger revealed that he and Wood are eager to return to the stage following the album's release, as per Daily Mail.

"We hope we go on tour," Jagger said, adding that both musicians are enthusiastic about performing live again.

Foreign Tongues follows the band's Grammy-winning 2023 album Hackney Diamonds and is their second studio release since the death of drummer Charlie Watts in 2021. 

Moreover, the record features guest appearances from Paul McCartney, Robert Smith of The Cure and Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
