The legendary band released their 24th album ‘Hackney Diamonds’ last October, marking their first full-length effort since 2005’s ‘A Bigger Bang’. In a four-star review, NME described the project as “an absolute barnstormer”. Elsewhere, a new book about The Beatles has revealed a John Lennon encounter that made Mick Jagger feel “uncomfortable”.
