Artist Nathaniel Mary Quinn, admired by the Rolling Stones and Leonardo DiCaprio, returns with hometown show
Fresh off designing the Stones’ next album cover, the former Robert Taylor Homes resident opens his first solo exhibition in Chicago this week at the National Public Housing Museum.

Quinn’s style has earned him famous fans, including Mick Jagger, who visited his solo exhibition twice at Gagosian’s New York event last year. Later, famed music executive Jimmy Iovine sent a text to Quinn’s wife and studio manager, Donna Augustin-Quinn, requesting that the artist illustrate the Rolling Stones’ album cover.
Before long, Quinn was calling and texting Jagger, and the two had lunch at the Baccarat Hotel in New York.
“He’s telling me about his children and his family and his travels,” Quinn said.
“I went to the music studio with Keith Richards one night. He was jamming, playing his guitar, and at each break, he sits down and talks to me. He’s telling me all of his stories. He’s super cool.”
Quinn’s work, which blends the faces of Jagger, Richards and Ronnie Wood, was enthusiastically received by fans and even some celebrities, whom Quinn met at an album release event in Brooklyn. At one point during the night, he felt a tap on the shoulder.
“I turn around and it’s Leonardo DiCaprio,” Quinn said. “Leo is also a collector of my work. And the first thing he says is, ‘Hey, man, I just want you to know it was my idea for you to do the Rolling Stones album cover. I don’t care what anyone says. It was me. I told Mick about your work.’”

I look at it like this, Keith was very happy touring with the Stones 2 years ago, he even played a 3 song set to give Mick a 20 minute break.
He was up for touring in 2025 until Mick decided not to over alleged logistics or whatever.
We see Keith enjoy playing 4 songs very well before Christmas with the Winos.
Then all of sudden Keith decides he doesn't want to commit after preparations were made to pencil in a tour that would take place about now.
Something doesn't add up.
Lets not forget most Stones tours now are about 16 dates, we aren't talking huge tours and they play only once or twice a week with plenty of recover time.
Looking at Keith walking sprightly and talking about guitars recently i don't see a major decline, ok he had a microphone that didn't work properly and totally threw him on Conan but I'm sure he will shine tonight on Fallon.
I like Hackney Diamonds a lot,excellent album, but IMO their best album since at least Tatoo You is Bridges to Babylon.Quote

When Angry came out for me it was a fantastic blast of optimism. When the album came out it was instantly better than the previous 6 albums.
Feeling the same about this one based on the first two songs available, with In The Stars being the most interesting of the two. Hopefully the last single comes out before July 10.

Hi,
Maybe the reason (not public) might be the existence of some kind of health issue wih someone of his family, and he may no want to leave home for a long period of time (3-4 months)

anyone know of any pre-launch journo listening parties? Has anyone actually heard the whole thing? Any rumours as to quality of the album?

The Beatles stopped touring in1966 , but still made some of their best albums after that.A lot of people think Sgt.Pepper or Abbey Road was their best album.

Yes, but the Beatles were at their creative peak; the Stones are multiple decades past theirs! What are you seriously suggesting?[/quoteWell, you never know what can come even from aged artists.
