11 years on… The Rolling Stones are officially releasing a NEW album

More than a decade since the release of their last album, A Bigger Bang, one of the industry's biggest bands have announced that they're releasing a new album.

That's right, ladies – The Rolling Stones have today confirmed that Blue and Lonesome will hit shelves in December of this year.

The band are understandably pumped about the album of blues covers which was recorded over just three days earlier this year.

Speaking at the time of recording, Keith Richards said: "They sound so authentic it's frightening. We didn't spend any time rehearsing them or anything."

"We just picked a song that suited Mick's harmonica or a guitar riff… and they worked out pretty good. It was like, 'this is what the Stones do, we play blues."

And if you can't wait until December to get the ball rolling, make sure you have your head in the game tomorrow for the pre-order kick-off.

Oh, and for those of you who do decide to pre-order, there'll be a brand new song in it for you… and immediately too.

Get in!
