With respect I sense a degree of annoyance with my enquiry Rocky. Not necessary my friend. I meant no disrespect by it. My enquiry was perfectly reasonable.

No annoyance at all and I didn't think the question was disrespectful. My response was meant to convey that short of stolen or hacked documents, there is no "proof" until it is an official announcement from the label. I do believe Soldatti that November is the intended date, but it's not official. I'm not convinced (and frankly hopeful) that it isn't packed with guests, but that's just personal preference.

This is the statement from the official website stating that "To celebrate Mick Jagger’s 80th birthday, Forty Licks will release digitally on 26 July followed by the physical release on 28 July".

Hopefully Sasha will be included on the new slbum - maybe even a solo spotlight!

Does anyone else tire of all this BS concerning the release date of alleged studio album.
You'll miss the BS when they're gone.

Google translation into English -
Little information on planet Stone, since we now know that there will be no tour this year.
However, a new album is still in the works. What we knew: the group has been seen in the studio in New York and Los Angeles, accompanied by Steve Jordan, Darryl Jones, Matt Clifford, and even Chanel Haynes. This opus would be produced by Andrew Watt (Iggy Pop, Ozzy Osbourne). And the participation of Paul McCartney on a title on bass has indeed been confirmed.
New information: according to the Anglo-Saxon press, Bill Wyman is in the game! After leaving the group 30 years ago, Bill couldn't refuse to participate in what will, it seems, be a tribute album to Charlie Watts.
"And when is it coming out?" you will tell us. In October, they say...
Drew
Chanel Haynes made a post on her Instagram this morning stating that she is not featured on the album. Take everything you read with a grain of salt, folks.

Your point about guests is entirely aligned with my own. Frankly the thought of a guest-packed album, where The Stones will look like a support act, or backing band, to a bunch of other people horrifies me. The practice is vastly over-used nowadays by so many acts. And it always suggests, at least to me, that the main performer feels they need a 'leg-up' from others to make the album more appealing. The Stones don't need anyone else to prop them up. They are more than capable of carrying an album all on their own.

I do agree 100%. and that is even more true in a music industry driven (like all the rest) by social media engagement. Shortcuts shortcuts shortcuts
Is the band capable of carrying an album on their own? That is, an album where guests are just icing on a cake? I (want to) believe so

Given the interminable wait, which means a lot, I hope it will be a good album, I'm sure of it. The Stones have never put out a bad album, although some of them have been a bit disappointing.
But I'm not expecting a miracle either. Charlie, Stu, Nicky Hopkins, Jimmy Miller and Mick Taylor are gone, the magic, the genius is gone. The unique alchemy they all created has vanished. Period.

Taylor is still with us, thankfully. Will be interesting to see if he's been invited as well as Bill to participate in the new album.

Yeah, why not. Since the idea behind asking Bill was paying tribute to Charlie, they could have asked that from other ex-member as well. But seemingly Taylor has retired from the business, so probably he might have refused the offer, even if asked.

Unless they make him an offer he can't refuse.
