The Rolling Stones have unveiled their first album of original material since 2005, and the first since the death of drummer Charlie Watts.
Hackney Diamonds will feature 12 tracks and be released on 20 October, preceded by lead single Angry.
Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Sir Mick Jagger announced the album on Wednesday at an event in Hackney.
Richards said: “Ever since Charlie’s gone, it’s been different, he’s number four. Of course he’s missed.”
