The Rolling Stones are recording their 31st album.

The Rolling Stones are working on a new album, having scrapped plans for a major summer tour.

Sir Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood have been in the recording studio since April, according to The Sun, which reports the band have already recorded 13 songs and are discussing a release date for their 31st studio album.

The band's latest album, Hackney Diamonds, their first original work in 18 years, went straight to the top of the charts when it was released in 2023.

The three legends are reported to have been making the music at Metropolis Studios in West London. The It's Only Rock 'n Roll stars are understood to have teamed up with producer Andrew Watt, who worked on Hackney Diamonds. This November, to mark the 50th anniversary of Wood joining the Stones, the band are planning to release a remastered edition of their 1976 album Black and Blue, featuring two new tracks.

The Rolling Stones have cancelled plans to tour the UK and Europe in 2025 due to difficulties with venues and travel.

The Stones have sold more than 250 million albums worldwide over the course of their career.

Their first album, The Rolling Stones, was released on 17 April 1964.
