Rolling Stones seen at recording studio in Paris; Mick Jagger says he 'had fun'
During the week of August 20, 2012, paparazzi photos surfaced of the Rolling Stones leaving a Paris recording studio, and now Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger has confirmed the studio sessions. The Rolling Stones have not announced why they were in the recording studio.
On August 23, 2012, this message was posted on the Rolling Stones' official Facebook page and Jagger's official Twitter account: "Had fun in the Paris studio this week!" The message had an accompanying photo (pictured here) of Jagger holding a guitar in a room with several guitars, presumably a room in a recording studio.
Fans are speculating why the Rolling Stones were in the studio. Some of the possibilities are:
As previously reported, Jagger told the London Evening Standard at the "Rolling Stones: 50" exhibit opening party in London on July 12, 2012, that the Rolling Stones will do 50th anniversary concerts in the autumn of 2012. Further details about the concerts are to be announced.
On August 17, 2012, the Rolling Stones' official Facebook page made available for download a uView app for people to download for upcoming "big news."
Since the Rolling Stones have already announced that they will not do a full-scale tour in 2012, there is speculation that there will only be a few Rolling Stones concerts this year that will take place in major international cities. Richards told Rolling Stone magazine in March 2012 interview that it is possible that the Rolling Stones will do a full-scale tour in 2013.
There is also the Rolling Stones' official 50th anniversary documentary film, which is directed by Brett Morgen.
The movie's title and cinema release date are to be announced, but it has already been announced that the film should be in cinemas for a limited time in September 2012, although that target month could change. Eagle Rock Entertainment will release the movie on DVD and Blu-ray in October or November 2012.
HBO will have the U.S. television premiere in the autumn of 2012, on a date to be announced.
In late April/early May 2012, the current members of the Rolling Stones (lead singer Mick Jagger, guitarist Keith Richards, drummer Charlie Watts and guitarist Ronnie Wood) gathered for rehearsals in the New York City area. The rehearsals were reportedly filmed for the documentary.
In December 2011, Wyman and former Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor did jam sessions in London with the current lineup of the Rolling Stones. These sessions will also reportedly be in the Rolling Stones' 50th anniversary movie.

Fans are speculating why the Rolling Stones were in the studio. Some of the possibilities are:
- recording new songs for a Rolling Stones compilation
- recording new songs for a Rolling Stones album of all-new material
- remastering and/or remixing previously released Rolling Stones songs
