Under a False Name! : Mysterious Rolling Stones Album
Causing a stir: the legendary Rolling Stones Ronnie Wood (78), Mick Jagger (82) and Keith Richards (82, from left)
London – This is a true rock sensation! The Rolling Stones are back – and how! Under a false name, with secret actions and a vinyl surprise, Mick Jagger (82), Keith Richards (82), and Ronnie Wood (78) are causing a mega stir in the music world! The iconic band suddenly released a new single – but not as “Rolling Stones,” but as “The Cockroaches.” And here’s the kicker: The song isn’t available to stream or download, but only on vinyl!
Music fan Andrew Nicholson managed to get his hands on the secret record in a record store in London.
The record had no cover and a white sleeve.
Only true fans had a chance! On Saturday, the strictly limited edition record was available in select stores worldwide. Price in Germany: €10.07 – a clear indication of the new album’s release date of July 10th!
The album? Completely mysterious! White sleeve, no cover, just a name: “The Cockroaches”. No info. No credits. Nothing! But everyone knows: THESE are the Rolling Stones!
Mysterious posters with a QR code appeared in London.
Mysterious posters appeared in London days beforehand . The name “The Cockroaches” is no coincidence – Jagger & Co. used to play secret gigs under this pseudonym! The clever part: A QR code led fans directly to Universal Music, the Rolling Stones’ record label. Those who registered there received a secret clip – featuring the unmistakable and distinctive Stones sound! It was the opening of a blues-rock track. The website also listed GPS coordinates of music stores where the single was sold.
New Stones album coming
Insiders confirm: A new Stones album is set to be released on July 10th! The songs are apparently taken from the sessions for “Hackney Diamonds” (2023). Over 20 tracks were recorded back then – many of them still unreleased!
Stones fans lined up for “Sounds of Universe” in London.
Will rock legends Mick Jagger , Keith Richards , and Ronnie Wood tour again? That’s the big question! After their 2024 North American tour, it’s unclear whether the Stones will perform live again. A major world tour? Rather unlikely! But: Some exclusive concerts could be on the cards! One thing is certain: The Stones are far from finished – and they continue to surprise and enchant the music world!
