Keith Richards has suggested that The Rolling Stones may shift away from traditional touring in favour of residencies, revealing that the physical demands of travel have become the biggest obstacle to the band performing live.
“I don’t know if tours are possible,” Richards told Uncut Magazine. “It’s the travelling that takes it out of you. But I do see the possibility of us doing residency somewhere. Wherever it is, London, New York, Paris, anywhere. I’ll play Rome! But I don’t see why they shouldn’t be able to throw some shows together in a new format.”
The comments build on remarks Mick Jagger made recently on BBC Radio 2, where the frontman said he “can’t wait” to get back on the road and is hoping to tour again “as soon as possible” — though he acknowledged it would not happen this year. The band scrapped plans for a U.K. and European stadium tour in 2026 after Richards was unable to commit to the run.
Despite the logistical questions, Richards was clear that the desire to play has not diminished. “It’ll be exciting until something inside me says, ‘That’s that,’” he said. “I love working with the guys. I mean, what am I gonna do?”
The Stones are preparing to release their 25th studio album Foreign Tongues on July 10 via Polydor/Universal Music. Recorded in less than a month at Metropolis Studios in West London with producer Andrew Watt, the album features guest appearances from Paul McCartney, The Cure’s Robert Smith, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Chad Smith and Steve Winwood, alongside a special appearance by late drummer Charlie Watts recorded during one of his final creative sessions with the band before his death in 2021.
The album includes previously released tracks “Rough and Twisted” and “In the Stars,” as well as a cover of Amy Winehouse’s “You Know I’m No Good.”
Richards reflected on the recording process in the album’s announcement. “The Foreign Tongues album has a continuity from Hackney Diamonds, and it was great to be working in London again, and to have that London vibe around us,” he said. “It was a month of concentrated punch.”
Hackney Diamonds, the Stones’ first album of original material in 18 years, debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and produced “Angry,” which became the band’s first U.K. top 40 hit since 2005.
Kylie Minogue is returning to acting, joining the cast of Jamie Adams’ new film Tangled Up In Blue alongside filmmaker Quentin Tarantino, as first reported by Variety.
The film — named after Bob Dylan‘s song of the same name from his 1975 album Blood on the Tracks — also stars Jason Isaacs, Allison Williams, Sofia Boutella and Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA. Filming reportedly began over the weekend, with Minogue and Tarantino spotted at a restaurant in the Welsh town of Porthcawl, where Adams grew up and lives.
Adams has gained a reputation for his prolific output of films named after famous songs, including Bittersweet Symphony (2019, after The Verve) and Love Spreads (2021, after The Stone Roses). His most recently released film, Only What We Carry, also features Tarantino and Boutella alongside Simon Pegg, Charlotte Gainsbourg and singer-songwriter Lizzy McAlpine.
Tarantino’s involvement comes while the director is based in the U.K. preparing his West End play The Popinjay Cavalier ahead of a planned 2027 launch.
Minogue began her career in Australian television — appearing on The Sullivans, The Henderson Kids and Neighbours, where she played Charlene Mitchell across nearly 350 episodes from 1986. She first hit the Billboard Hot 100 in 1988 with the No. 3-peaking “The Loco-Motion,” a cover of Little Eva’s 1962 hit.
She returned to the top 10 fourteen years later with “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” (No. 7), the lead single from her Grammy-winning album Fever, which reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200 — her highest career peak on the chart.
She has landed 11 total titles on the Billboard 200, including 2010’s Aphrodite (No. 19), and logged seven Hot 100 entries with two top 10 hits. On Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart she has proven equally dominant, with 18 entries including top 10 hits “Dance Alone” with Sia (No. 8) and “Padam Padam” (No. 7) — the latter becoming the first song to win the newly created Grammy for Best Pop Dance Recording.
“Padam Padam” also peaked at No. 32 on Pop Airplay, her first appearance on that chart in nearly two decades. She won her first Grammy in 2004 when “Come Into My World” took home Best Dance Recording. She is also set to headline the AFL Grand Final in September.
Tangled Up In Blue is being produced by New York-based Visor Entertainment and does not yet have a release date.
