Maybe not new info but i think this article wasn't shared before:
Latest update from Roger Friedman, who previously shared the Sanctuary Studios info:
Reality Check: Rolling Stones Album Does Have Paul, No Ringo, And Is In the Finishing Stages (Exclusive)
(February 22, 2023)
Yesterday’s bombshell that the surviving Beatles and Rolling Stones would all be on the same album caused a near riot in classic rock circles.
But the real story, from what I’m told, is a little less feverish. My source, who is right in the middle of this, says the following: “Paul came in and played bass on one track. I have no idea if Ringo is doing anything. His name hasn’t come up at all.”
This makes sense. It’s unlikely Ringo will come in play drums on a Stones track. It would be a little disrespectful to the memory of Charlie Watts. And Ringo is all about peace and love.
McCartney doesn’t sing on the track. And the final tracks haven’t been finalized, says my source. But the good news is, the album is in the finishing stages. The band is out of the studio, recording is done. So we could see a new Stones album mid summer. And that would be exciting.
As for a tour: “not now,” says a source. “At this point it may be too late for summer, given what’s available.” But they added: “The band is always up for a tour. They could decide at the last minute.”

Hope they release a single soon...or a teaser...or just a mini-snippet...or even just a song title...or anything at this point.
Dread the thought of this thread title being changed again..."New Stones album for 2024", could lead to "New Stones album for 2025"...could lead to "New Stones album for 2026", and so on................
Seems the postponement of the tour announcement threw a wrench in to the process, and now the rumour of no new tour this year...ugh...gotta have faith that something positive will result from this mess.

I still love lots of stuff on A Bigger Bang. It’s bloated yes, and very hot and miss. A track like ONNYA - It really rocks! It’s a shame then that the lyrics for it are so abysmal. Then look at a song like Dangerous Beauty, which I think has great lyrics. And it rocks too….
It’s just overall it has that bloated feel, much more so than any of the previous three albums. You could cut it down to 10 songs to make it much better. That is indeed true for every album since SW.
I agree, in principal. But nowadays, given the paucity of any new Rolling Stones material, I’ll happily take a bloated record. Give me everything they’ve recorded. Let me edit it down to what I like. As YOU would all do. I don’t like everything you all like, same as you don’t like all I like. I LOVE Streets of Love. ADORE It Won’t Take Long. Hate Look What the cat Dragged in. Don’t much care for Driving too Fast. LOVE… Sweet Neo Con. Yet that is universally reviled. But, bloated or not, I’m GLAD I have all this music. So, give me everything you’ve recorded lads, and let me choose MY best. Is not going to be anyone else’s!

Yeah it's very unfortunate that the tour was postponed but I'm sure that they are going to tour and promote the new album.
My guess is that the mixing stage is on standby. The new album is already recorded but they want to do the mixing approx. 3 months before the tour start as usual, so everything can coincide in order of the plans. A similar scenario to ABB release and tour

Hey, isn't Macca your guiding light as well?
Well actually do enjoy his interviews ....
He does seem a cheerful chappy
And after all he was there in the sixties .....
But have never allowed any of his jingles on me turntable ...

I think this all depends on the timeline of the healing process of whoever it was that may have been injured, and what type of injury it was. And for all we know, and as someone else had previously mentioned, "injury" could be a code word for something that was pre-existing and a bit more serious. Someone heard that supposedly it was a foot injury...maybe, maybe not, but it was never officially confirmed one way or the other.
As it stands, the latest rumour is there will be no new tour, and as far as any new album news goes, there's been nothing to discuss lately hence the dissecting of A Bigger Bang, Bridges, and other decades old albums.

BV's sad news about the tour not happening this year is unfortunately relevant in this thread as well. There've been rumours and assumptions that the release of the new album is linked to the tour.
All I can is hope that the link is not a necessary one. That they would release the album without a tour this year. But to be frank, the best scenario I can see is a fall/christmas season release to maximise the sales. So that means we might not hear anything for another half year or something .
It is what it is.

I guesss anything is possible. Maybe they are saving the album until after that inevitable day comes, the one we don't want to think about. That way they wouldn't have to put up with the criticism. Just one of many reasons. Well, I hope for the best, whatever that may be.

Personally I find it would be extremely respectful if Ringo drummed on a new Stones track.

I can't resist some of Macca's best stuff (Band on the Run, Let Me Roll It, Silly Love Songs, With A Little Luck). Brilliant ear-candy.
At the same time, I realize there is just something a bit off-putting or uncool about him. And always has been.

Yes, quite an homage.

As far as I know there are not rumours about any other high profile Stones releases, so one might think that there has been some high hopes for the new album for this year by UMG.

They could also change their plans for the new album and release another "from the vault" instead.

Interesting line of thought, but what do you mean exactly? What criticism?

Is there even an urgency to that anymore?
