I was contacted today out of the blue by an ex colleague and friend who is a veteran of the radio and music industry. He currently oversees a network of stations in North America. He is not a huge Stones fan but knows I am.
He said he has heard the track, he had to keep secret as he had to ‘sign something’
I asked him if he was 100% and he said Yes.
He said it has a ‘Miss You’ vibe
He had no news on album. I asked him if the song was ‘pandemic related’ and he said no.
I asked if it was embargoed and he said it was until 5pm Thurs UK time.
I’m just the messenger here and I have no reason to doubt him.
He is the music director and program director of various format stations including rock.
I worked in the industry for almost 30 years and this is standard practice, tho the embargo of even mentioning it is a little strange.
Usually you can mention that you have it and will ‘play it after XX o’clock’
If this turns out to be untrue I will be very surprised.
He is NOT Stones connected in any way, but is someone who would be wooed and played pre release copies of songs on a constant basis.
He said the track was called Living In A Ghost Town and was a Stones song, not solo Mick.
I hope it’s true, we will find out in hours.
But very odd there is no news anywhere

I'm just hoping that it's something better than Doom and Gloom/One more Shot.
C'mon boys...let's give us some good 'ol r'n'r
I was about to start a new topic titled 'I wonder how long it will be before the new song is dissed on this board'. Looks like the seeds have already been planted before we have even heard it!

They had 6-7 complete new songs already in March 2019, this must be one of this songs and if that title is correct, well no surprise if it's released now.

There's no need to even comment on this. Post of a guy who's used to painting himself into a corner, any corner

Time is definitely ripe for them to do this. But isn’t this typically done on Fridays these days?
“Tomorrow” in the US (Friday) would be today in the UK, so, this would track.

You would have thought there would have been a hint on their twitter or Instagram feed?

Went to Apple Music. Searched for Living in a ghost Town. No song by that name popped up... but the FIRST artist that DID come up was... The Rolling Stones. True.

Maybe :-) But not for years and years for The Stones. Not been much to search for “recently”..

I actually just tried this myself on Apple Music. Never searched for the song before and these were the top 3 artists that popped up for "Living in a Ghost Town":
Jake Owen: Has a song titled "Ghost Town"
The Rolling Stones
Who Hit Willie: Has a song titled "Livin' in a Ghost Town"

Scroll down to Artists, not songs, albums or playlists. Stones are first
