"Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood told Simon Boyle’s “Bizarre” column of the British newspaper The Sun (...) “The new album is like a puzzle, we still have to piece together the missing pieces. ""

"Ronnie Wood said the band was preparing to release their new studio album early last year, but plans were canceled due to the health of vocalist Mick Jagger, 76, who had heart surgery in April."

Is that the index finger or the FU finger that Mick is presenting to the world?

They've released 23 UK LPs and 25 NA LPs yet... somehow they've released 30 studio LPs.
What are the 5 or 7 other LPs?

No offense to the poster of this recent tour and album "news" making the rounds, but it's nothing more than Ronnie's comments to Der Spiegel erroneously credited to The Sun.

The old recycled news is picking up steam. A DJ on L.A. radio station KLOS excitedly exclaimed "new Stones album in 2020" and I almost got excited myself!,
But she then went on with the old quotes from Ronnie "it's a puzzle", "hope", etc., etc.......lol...

We're presuming because no one has said they've been back in the studio since the tour ended, that they haven't done so at all.
We're also trusting that's it's been "early stages" for four years because they recycle the same lines to the press when there could be a boatload of tracks, alternate versions, etc. that could be signed off on if all concerned feel they have a strong enough album to release.
That's pretty much the three options we've got. It's nowhere near to completion and they're fooling themselves and us. It's coming together and almost finished. It's as good as it's going to get, but they need to agree on selections and running order.

The album has many / several recording segments .. ranging from three days to two weeks at a time. Some were only two or three days .. some were ten days .. some a couple weeks.
However ...This album has not had long extended studio runs where the band is working on an album for a couple months at a time (... those days are far gone)

which were the sessions that Charlie talked about in this Charlie and Ronnie interview where he wondered what happened to the new album? I think he talked about three blocks of extended sessions (before 2019)?

And regarding these "recording segments", some were probably only a couple of hours per day. Some of them three hours, and others maybe five or six at the most.
The days of putting in a proper full day of work, let alone back to back or consecutive full days of work are far gone. They have a busy social life and attend parties, museums, friends, etc.Quote

That was way back in 1792...(jk)...it was in 2017. He mentions a pre-wall session, and then "another, and another...", and then says to Ronnie "where's the new album"?
Ronnie looks puzzled and caught off guard, and changes the subject to the Grammy they just won.

Sure there wasn't any session before that? On Dec 11, 14 and 15 they worked on B&L - which means the infamous wall-hitting incident occurred already on the 2nd day in the studio altogether?
I'm sure we discussed this already but time and those waves have messed my mind up: which were the sessions that Charlie talked about in this Charlie and Ronnie interview where he wondered what happened to the new album? I think he talked about three blocks of extended sessions (before 2019)?

I am sure they have plenty of material .. over plenty of time they have spent in the studio over the past 4/5 years...
The Stones have never worked on a single album for going on five years in all their career.

You would think so, but with the disagreements over direction of the album, not to mention Universal thinking it was uneven,etc., you have to wonder how much will actually be used for a new album?
Again, they should just release an album and move on to something else. Sometimes focusing too hard can be a distraction in itself, and forcing something that doesn't exist doesn't always work as far as quality goes.
At this point, they've become the butt of jokes regarding lack of a new original album in 15 years...as Charlie would say, "where is the new album"?

A recent quote from Pete Townshend:
"But they (Stones) also don’t seem to see much sign of creative development. I’m also very friendly with Mick (Jagger),
and I know he’s frustrated about the fact that it seems very difficult for them to come up with new material". - PT

The first paragraph is definitely on the money. It's how Keith and Steve Jordan described CROSSEYED HEART coming together over a period of years. It's likely how Mick works as well.
The busy social life is certainly true, but add in the fact that they're now between 72 and 78 years old. And richer than God (Clapton). It's amazing they ever leave the house, let alone get out of bed.

They did a session before December of 2015 on the new album too. Charlie specifically says so ...
Then he goes on to say in reference to the new album 'we've done so many bloody sessions Lol .. I dunno ...where is the new album?'(that interview was almost two years ago now ..and he mentions they did three or four separate sets of sessions almost two years ago). The Stones have been in the studio since then as a group and separately working on it since then as well.
They have done much work on the album it has been reported. Chuck Levell reported they did lots of work on it..but lots still needs done a year and a half ago ...
We know of at the very least five times The Stones all were in the studio together .. (this is what we know of now .. a good while down the road after the album is released we will know the full story on the recording sessions).
I am sure they have plenty of material .. over plenty of time they have spent in the studio over the past 4/5 years.
I can't buy any notion that they haven't spent much time on it. I think it's the exact opposite .. I think they have spent much time on it .. just not in long extended sessions. I also think this album has been perhaps more thought out than any other album in thirty five years ... maybe more. Though these sessions have been brief at times .. consider this .. The Stones have never worked on a single album for going on five years in all their career.
