The Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney have joined forces to record a song together for the rock band’s new album, a Stones spokesperson said Wednesday.
Variety, a Hollywood industry outlet, reported Tuesday night that the ex-Beatle had recorded bass parts “for an upcoming Rolling Stones project helmed by 2021 Grammy of the Year producer Andrew Watt”.
McCartney and Watt have worked together in the past. In a 2021 interview, Paul described a meeting with the producer: “I went to have a cup of tea and, of course, we ended up making a song”.
It will be the only collaboration between these musicians who, according to the specialized media, have maintained a musical rivalry for decades.
He added that recording sessions recently took place in Los Angeles and McCartney’s former bandmate Ringo Starr is also set to perform on the album.
Asked about the news, a Stones spokesperson confirmed that McCartney “guests on bass on a song” from the album, which will go on sale later this year. He said that Starr had not participated.
In a video message posted to his social media last month, Stones guitarist Keith Richards told his followers that “there’s new music on the way”.
The media CNN adds that no other details are known on the new album of the legendary group, which will be the first since the death of its drummer Charlie Watts in 2021.
During the 1960s and part of the 1970s, the two British groups were the most famous in the world, with songs that sold millions of copies.
The group led by Jagger, despite the disappearance of Watts, is still active, while the Liverpool quartet, which has already lost John Lennon, murdered in 1980, and George Harrison, who died in 2001, have not found each other after their separation . in the early 1970s.
