What does everyone think of an extended residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas?

Because the Sphere is going after people with money.

The recent episode of Today Explained (NPR Podcast) had a lot of info.

You can google it or pull up on a Podcast app, I have no idea where to play off a browser but it was very interesting.

LOL

Really?

Y'all just chill out.

One for the collectors amongst us, I suppose. Why is 'Ghost Town' on it, though??

Why is 'Ghost Town' on it, though??

Because it was already on the Japanese CD edition of Hackney Diamonds in 2023. The Japanese love bonus tracks and the bonuses should justify the higher prices for the Japanese versions. And some believe that ‘Ghost Town’ was part of the creation history of the HD album.

Ah, okay. Yes, I know about the famed Japanese 'bonus tracks' Wasn't this concept introduced as a means to dissuade Japanese consumers from purchasing cheaper CD's on the black market?

No, not from the black market. It's the expensive 'Made in Japan' edition versus the cheaper 'elsewhere made' imported version.

Ah, right. So, it's still a ploy to get consumers to purchase the 'Japanese made' versions, then. I'm sure I read the 'black market' thing somewhere, though. I must be getting confused

Since there's been zero news anywhere about the rumored private show, it's safe to assume it never happened.

that was exactly might point when I said it's unlikely to have an event like this and there are no rumors or anything about that it happend

Why don't they do as Springsteen and Dylan - do a clean sweep and release a lot of material from the vaults. The prospects of a new tour is getting slimmer and slimmer.
And I don't think there is a huge demand for a new album (except from hard core fans). I think it has been said here before but I'll repeat it: Time is not on their side anymore.
Not on our side either...

.....just gimmie an album of new material ....

So you think a vault release would sell better than a new album?

I don't know, Hockenheim. I'm not their salesman. I was just airing my own opinion. What I would like them to do. Nothing else.

Even when they stop I think there will be plenty of archive releases, for many years to come.

HD sold better than any of the reissues with extras. If the supposed BLACK AND BLUE deluxe indeed comes out it probably will be the weakest selling deluxe reissue of all of them.

There aren't many left anyone would care about. A deluxe EMOTIONAL RESCUE reissue would probably interest some more - but they cheated it a little bit with the SOME GIRLS deluxe, TATTOO YOU and the TY deluxe. IORR is probably not worth it seeing that some ended up on the TY deluxe.

There's UNDERCOVER's plethora of leftovers, DIRTY WORK and even BRIDGES. Mick's probably not wanting to be bothered with any of those, though.

Or the boys finally bury the hatchet with the Klein family and they start working on Beggars Banquet or Let it Bleed leftovers

'Los Rolling Stones están tramando algo': la pareja de Mick Jagger, Melanie Hamrick, se sincera

[x.com]

Thanks!

From the article (on a rough translation):

"Mick Jagger is, according to our information, in the studio with the Rolling Stones to record a new album. This explains why the group canceled its European tour planned for this summer, a tour that almost stopped at the Stade de France in July, then in September... "They're preparing something, I've heard rumors, but I don't know what," she assures us with a burst of laughter. "They're always working on a project. They'll never stop. They have such energy, they continue to evolve, are always inspired, they can go on forever!"

Thanks, Cristiano.

"The Rolling Stones are preparing something": Mick Jagger's partner, Melanie Hamrick, confides

Melanie Hamrick has a lucky star. After an international career as a ballerina, she had a crush on Mick Jagger - with whom she lives and has an 8-year-old son - and for writing, during the lockdown. At the age of 37, she published her first erotic novel in France, where she had many attachments.

By Eric Bureau · April 10, 2025 at 06:45 am

Mrs. Jagger writes erotic novels! With "First Position", her first book, just published in France, Melanie Hamrick is making a name for herself in the world of romance. A ballerina for sixteen years at the American Ballet Theatre, who became a choreographer after her retirement as an interpreter in 2019, she is inspired by her experience to tell the story of Sylvie Carter, a hyper-gifled little rat victim of a toxic relationship with a star dancer, in a sex, drug and chat atmosphere, somewhere between "Fifty Shades of Grey" and "Black Swan". When we are offered to meet Melanie Hamrick, we do not be asked. Very little is known about this 37-year-old American, who has lived with Mick Jagger for eleven years and with whom she had an 8-year-old son, Deveraux. She occasionally posts photos on her social networks, but does not reveal much about their family life. "I'm discreet," she confirms. Family is the most important thing in my life. It's my bubble, my happiness, and I want it to remain a safe place. We can't let too many people into it.

"Being a ballerina and a mom was incompatible"

She arrives alone at our appointment in a palace in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, on foot, with a small bag of Bon Marché, a bottle of water and a thriller in English. Affordable and laughing, she describes a "perfect childhood" in Williamsburg, a small town in Virginia, in a "very close-knit and loving" family. "My parents have been together for more than forty years," she rejoices. We are always very close. They don't work in art at all. They are academics: my father is a researcher and professor of psychology, and my mother is a biologist. "We had an advanced education, yet, with my sister, we wanted to become ballerinas," says Melanie Hamrick with a laugh. I started dancing at the age of 5 to do like my older daughter, Rachel. She danced in the National Ballet of the Netherlands and worked a lot in Europe, because she is tall and Americans prefer small sizes. I decided at the age of 7 that I would one day be a professional ballerina, and I became one at 17. And our parents have always supported us a lot. To realize her dream, she moved to Washington. "I went to a special school for five years, a satellite school of the Russian Ballets, it was hard. I had the chance to dance at the Opéra Bastille and the Théâtre de la Ville. It's a beautiful place. From the room where we dress, we can see Notre-Dame. Like at the Opéra Garnier, where I was happy to work with Benjamin Millepied nine years ago. Ballet was born in France, it's one of the best. I was lucky enough to travel the world and not to be injured very often..." At 31, she decided to end her career. "After having my son, I quickly realized that being a ballerina and a mother was incompatible. My companion also traveling a lot, had to ask himself the question: what is the most important thing for me? I was raised in the idea that family comes first. I was not sad to stop ballet, I did this for sixteen years and I remain in this universe, with my books and choreographies.

"I try to teach Mick ballet from time to time"

Melanie Hamrick is not fooled by the fact that we also came to talk to her about her "companion", to whom she dedicates her novel: "To my love, thank you for your support and your endless inspiration. She met Mick Jagger in 2014 in Tokyo. "It was behind the scenes of a Rolling Stones concert, my first, at 27," she laughs. I knew the Stones, my parents listened to them at home, but I was ballet ballet ballet, opera, Tchaikovsky... Mick and I met at the evening that followed... Since then, I have seen a lot of concerts! She was not a fan but was impressed that night. "When you are used to dancing in front of a maximum of 5,000 people, in extreme silence, seeing 60,000 people shout and share such energy is phenomenal," she admits. And Mick on stage? "It's a very good dancer, natural, he has the postures and the rhythm," she laughs. I try to teach him ballet from time to time. He taught me to eat balanced, to sit down and to enjoy food. At 81, the Stones leader fascinates everyone with his energy. "Me too, he impresses me," she laughs. Sometimes I say to him: But sit down! His natural energy and charisma inspire me! When you see someone so enthusiastic, hungry, it's motivating! Our artistic universes are quite similar. And we look a lot alike. Why not do anything when there is so much to do? That's exactly what they said to themselves in early 2020. "When the lockdown fell, we spent several months in France (in Fourchette, the castle that her companion has owned in Touraine for more than forty years)," she says. I first created a choreography, then I launched my production company, but it was not enough for me. I needed an activity that keeps me busy every day. As I love writing and reading romance novels, I started. While Mick was preparing the Stones' 24th studio album, "Hackney Diamonds", in 2023, she attacked "First Position". "Fourchette is an inspiring, beautiful place, a fairy tale," she smiles. I also love walking in Amboise. Is there a nicer place to raise a child? Their son, Deveraux, learns our idiom. "He is educated in a French school," says his mother. I wanted him to study another language, and French was necessary. Mick speaks French, we have a place of residence in France, French culture is part of our lives. And your educational system is one of the best, it grants great freedom to children. What are the percentages of reality and imagination in his torrid novel? "First Position is 100% fiction," she replies. To make it fun, everything is exaggerated, the lifestyle, the evenings... But the love story, the description of the ballerinas and the backstage of the ballet are very realistic, authentic. It's a very hard world. You have dedicated your entire life to it, since your early childhood. You don't have a teenager, you don't go to university, or parties. You only have one goal, like the Olympics for a high-level athlete.

Already working on her next book

Speaking of JO, she spent a lot of time in Paris with Mick Jagger and their son last summer. "The opening ceremony was incredible, we attended it from a bridge over the Seine, in the pouring rain. We were in family, quite numerous, because it was Mick's birthday: Happy birthday, here's your party!" She still laughs. "The dancers, especially those of the Moulin-Rouge, who accompanied Lady Gaga, were great. The weather was so complicated! Otherwise, I loved fencing, it's very beautiful, it looks a lot like ballet. These days, Melanie Hamrick is back in France to promote her book. "It is important for me that it is translated into French because I started it in France, I feel like I'm coming home. After our interview, she returns to Amboise. "Yes, to continue working on a new book. I'm just at the beginning. It will be a modern rereading of the ballet Gisèle. It will be a romance, I think, because it's really fun to write, but less vaporous, a little more serious". Mick Jagger is, according to our information, in the studio with the Rolling Stones to record a new album. This explains why the group canceled its European tour scheduled for this summer, a tour that almost went through the Stade de France in July, then in September... "They are preparing something, I heard rumors, but I don't know what," she assures us in a burst of laughter. They are always working on a project. They will never stop. They have such energy, they continue to evolve, are always inspired, they can continue forever!

"First Position", by Melanie Hamrick, published by Chatterley, 372 pages, 18.90 euros. In signings on April 12 and 13, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., at the Paris Book Fair on the romance stand (balcony 3).

Good to know there's a little confirmation. It's exciting knowing that the next Rolling Stones album isn't going to be a decade away!

Mind you, it's not Hamrick who says they are in the studio, it's the writer of the piece who says according to their sources they are in the studio recording a new album.

Still good news if true, and not even implausible, after non-cancelling the uncancellable non-tour they certainly have the time now to finish (some of) whatever songs are left to be finished (unless they play too many weddings and dinner parties ...).

Yeah, wonder this guy's "sources" are...
