Rolling Stones to meet for secret sessions which could mean their first album in a decade ...

I can exclusively reveal The Rolling Stones will meet for secret jamming sessions this month – which they hope will lead to their first new album in a decade.
Mick Jagger and the band will be working through song ideas in a Los Angeles studio and the sessions could lead to the much-anticipated blues album their fans have long hoped for.
My insider said: “The guys are getting together shortly to go through ideas. They have tour rehearsals too but all feel the time is right for a new album.
“They have talked about a blues record for a long time. It would be very different for the band and Keith ­Richards is very keen.
“The ideas are flying around already and the process will be quite organic – jamming in the studio to see what comes and hopefully strike gold.
“They’re in great shape at the moment and excited to see what comes out of the sessions but the approach is very loose.
“They’ve got the luxury of not having a record label demanding a release so they can take their time and get it just right.”
News of their secret get-together comes after Mick, 71, admitted he would love to do another album and revealed he has been working on song ideas at home.
The Stones’ last release A Bigger Bang was in 2005 and fans have held on to the hope the Brit superstars would be back.
In a recent interview, guitarist Keith hinted he shared Mick’s enthusiasm ahead of their 15-date tour of North America.
Keith said: “I’d like to get the boys back in the studio. Anything can happen.”
He said they had long harboured plans for a blues record, adding: “Hey, maybe it’s just a matter of time.”
There’s a song right there, lads.

New Rolling Stones tour! ZIP CODE - 15 City North American Stadium dates

The Rolling Stones contemplating Sticky Fingers for tour...

The Rolling Stones are considering performing 'Sticky Fingers' in full on tour.
The iconic rockers will head out on a 15-date North American tour in May and are thinking about treating fans to the entirety of the celebrated 1971 album, which features tracks including 'Brown Sugar' and 'Wild Horses', at the shows.
Speaking about the prospect, frontman Sir Mick Jagger said: ''We're floating the idea of playing the whole album.
''At the very least, we'll play the songs we don't normally play.''
Popular singles from the record - which will be reissued in Deluxe and Super Deluxe editions in May - are regular set highlights for the group, although the band haven't played 'You Gotta Move' live since 1976, while 'Sister Morphine', 'I Got The Blues' and 'Moonlight Mile' have not been performed since the 1990s.
However, the 71-year-old musician is unsure whether it is a good idea as he doesn't want the stadiums filled with fans to get bored by their slower songs.
He told Rolling Stone magazine: ''It's a really great album, but it has a lot of slow songs. Normally in a show we'd just do one or two ballads. 'Sticky Fingers' has about five slow songs. I'm just worried that it might be problematic in stadiums. Maybe we'd play it and everyone would say, 'Great,' but maybe they'll get restless and start going to get drinks.''

The group - which also features Ronnie Wood, Keith Richards and Charlie Watts - will kick off their 'ZIP CODE Tour' in San Diego before ending in Quebec in July.
