They have laid down 13 songs and are in discussions over a release date for their 25th studio album.
The band's last album, Hackney Diamonds, their first original work in 18 years, went straight to No1 following its release in 2023.
Sir Mick and Keith, both 81, and Ronnie, 78, have been holed up in West London's Metropolis Studios.
A source said: 'Mick, Keith and Ronnie have been secretly recording their new record with their drummer Steve Jordan.
"They've got 13 songs they're happy with and they are discussing when they can release it.
'Originally, the plan was for them to bring their huge US tour to the UK and Europe this summer but promoters couldn't get the dates to work.
'Instead the Stones decided to get back into the studio and put down their next album. It's massive for their fans who didn't get a chance to see them live this year.'

It is understood the It's Only Rock 'n Roll stars have teamed up again with producer Andrew Watt, who worked on Hackney Diamonds.
Keith, who has a house in West Sussex, has been staying at London hotel The Dorchester so he can be closer to the studio.
An insider added: 'Keith loves The Dorchester. It's costing him a packet to stay there but it's perfect for him.'
In November, to mark Ronnie's 50th anniversary of joining the Stones, the band plans to release a remastered edition of its 1976 Black and Blue album, featuring two new tracks.

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) REBA McEntire's son has broken his silence in an emotional tribute to half-brother Brandon Blackstock after his heartbreaking death. Brandon, 48, who left Los Angeles and his music manager career behind and settled into the life of a rancher in Montana after his bitter divorce with ex wife Kelly Clarkson, passed away from cancer.

Brandon's father was Narvel Blackstock while his mother was Elisa Gayle Ritter. Reba, 70, was married to music titan Narvel, 68, from 1989 until their divorce in 2015. Despite no longer being married, Brandon and his brother, Shelby Blackstock continued to call Reba 'mom' over the years. Now her son, race car driver Shelby Blackstock, 35, has posted an emotional tribute to Brandon. The pair share the same father and, alongside images of the pair together and with Reba, he wrote an heart-wrenching tribute. Shelby penned: "Words cannot begin to capture the tremendous loss our family has endured. "Yesterday, we lost a brother, a father, a grandfather, and a son. "Brandon Blackstock was an irreplaceable part of our family — funny, bright, and full of life — and he will be deeply missed." He told how the dad of two had "taught me so much, leaving behind countless cherished memories that I will hold onto forever." Kelly Clarkson was 'in talks' to star on new reality show with Reba McEntire before her ex Brandon Blackstock's death Shelby added: "For every treasured moment we shared, there are so many more we'll never get to make together, but I know you'll still be there. "Every hunt, every flight, and in the everyday moments of life, I'll feel your presence. "And although it may annoy you, you'll have to watch me do it all just a little better, a little smoother, and — let's be honest — looking far more handsome than you ever could in the process. "We will always miss you, Brandon, and we will never stop loving, remembering and celebrating you." The Sun was first to reveal how Kelly was "in talks" to star on a new reality TV series with Reba prior to Brandon's passing. CANCER STRUGGLE Earlier this week, a tragic family statement revealed Brandon's death/ "It is with great sadness that we share the news that Brandon Blackstock has passed away," it read on Thursday. The statement added: "Brandon bravely battled cancer for more than three years. He passed away peacefully and was surrounded by family. "We thank you for your thoughts and prayers and ask everyone to respect the family's privacy during this very difficult time." Just one day prior, Kelly canceled her August concerts in her Las Vegas residency. "While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children's father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them," Kelly told fans. She had quietly taken time off from her daytime talk show earlier in the year to support her kids during her ex's illness. TRAGIC END In June 2020, Kelly filed for divorce from Brandon and at the time, cited 'irreconcilable differences.' The two fought in a nasty court war for the following years, battling over custody of their two kids, their real estate portfolio, and their financial empire. The couple's divorce was finally settled in March 2022, but it ended up costing the pop superstar a fortune. She was ordered to pay Brandon over $1.3million in a lump sum, along with $45,601 per month in child support, and a staggering $115,000 a month in spousal support, according to court documents. The pair were private about their life post-divorce but fans were concerned about the pop star's family after she multiple leave of absence's this year. FAMILY AFFAIR Kelly's proposed TV show with Reba was originally pitched around 2019 but scrapped a year later. It would have also involved the pair's close pals, Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani. Their family connection would've been a theme on a previous season of The Voice, an insider spilled to The U.S. Sun. 'There were once talks of doing a family-themed season [of The Voice], it was a handful of years back, around 2019. 'The coaches would've been Reba, Kelly, Gwen, and Blake. The family theme being Kelly was Reba's daughter-in-law and Kelly and Blake having the same manager at the time,' they said, acknowledging how Brandon once oversaw both Kelly's and Blake's career for a number of years. 'Kelly and Blake were also basically best buds at the time and of course, Gwen and Blake being together added that other family element. 'Their relationships were all very overlapping. Those four are very intertwined and have genuine connections. 'But then Kelly began to go through her divorce and the dynamics got too messy so it fizzled out." 9 The pair were seen in a touching embrace in one snap Credit: instagram/@shelbyblackstock 9 Singer-songwriter Reba McEntire is Shelby's mom and Brandon's step mom Credit: Getty 9 Brandon was married to popstar Kelly yet the pair endured a tricky divorce Credit: Getty

Princess Andre's team hits back amid her ‘rift' with mum Katie Price insisting they aren't forcing them apart
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PRINCESS Andre's team has hit back at Katie Price's claims about her daughter's TV show, insisting they aren't forcing them apart. It comes after The Sun exclusively revealed the secret rift between Katie, 47, and Princess,18. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Katie Price has revealed her torment at not being included in her daughter's docu-series Credit: YouTube 5 Princess has her own ITV show called The Princess Diaries Credit: Getty 5 Princess' management team have now responded to Katie claims she was left out of filming Credit: Getty Daughter Princess, 18, is appearing in her very own ITV2 show titled The Princess Diaries, which kicks off tomorrow night. Katie has previously vented about those working with her daughter after The Sun revealed her secret heartache about being cut out of her TV show. She even wowed not to watch her daughter's reality show, after feeling left out of such an important thing in Princess' life. In this week's episode of The Katie Price podcast, Pricey vented about the teenager's management company, claiming she was "not allowed" to take part in the show. Princess is currently being managed by The CAN Group. Katie fumed: "I've always said, over my dead body would I ever want her to manage my kids because she doesn't like me and Pete and me don't talk. I am very, very, very upset that Princess has signed with them. She added: "Now she's managing Princess and Junior, out of my control, I want the best for Junior and Princess, always, and I will never get in the way of it. "But what hurts my feelings – and it does upset me – is when your kids grow up, you go to their assemblies, you go to their Christmas things, you go to their awards, you know, you go to their football matches or their gymnastics, you're involved in everything they do. "And knowing that what my career has been, Princess is taking that same path – trying to do the same as what I've done – which I absolutely love and adore of Princess but I had not been allowed to go on any photoshoot, no signings or Superdrug openings or anything like that. Why? Because I'm not allowed and I'm not welcome." In response to Katie's claims, The CAN Group told The Mirror: "As a company, our duty of care to our clients is paramount. We would never advise a client on their personal life unless asked and we have never stopped anyone seeing their families." Katie Price takes another savage swipe at ex Peter Andre and says Princess is 'scared to tell the truth' The fall out from Princess' ITV show saw Katie left in tears. In the same edition of The Katie Price Show, Pricey revealed how her daughter was filming the show in Ibiza at the same time as she was on the party island. However, in a shock revelation Katie revealed that she bumped into Princess' film crew, but she wasn't allowed to see her daughter. "When I was in Ibiza, Princess was there in Ibiza, and I wasn't allowed to meet up with her," "But funny enough, I walked into a bar, and there was a group of people and it was the producer of her show, and they came up to me and said, we're producing the show. I burst out crying and this producer would know it, and said, 'I'm so upset'. ''It's my daughter. I want to be involved. But that side stops me.'" 5 Princess' documentary has put a strain on her relationship with her mum Credit: Getty Continuing, she said: "I was in tears and I never cry. "She saw how upset I was and I could see that she was in a situation because she knows it's right that I should be seeing support in my daughter, and I'm not. "I don't know where it's going to go from here. "But it's all right for them to not have me in the show, but I'm all right to be used for headlines for the show." It comes after The Sun revealed the secret rift between Katie and Princess. We revealed how Katie was left "devastated" when telly bosses told Princess to "distance herself" from her famous mum. Katie Price's love life We take a look back at the highs and lows of Katie Price's relationship history. 1996-1998: Katie got engaged to Gladiators star Warren Furman - aka Ace - with a £3,000 ring. But their relationship didn't make it as far as 'I do'. 1998-2000: Katie described Dane Bowers as 'the love of her life' but she broke up with the singer when he allegedly cheated on her. 2001: Footballer Dwight Yorke is the father of Katie's eldest child Harvey. He has had very little to do with Harvey throughout his life. 2002: Rebounding from Dwight, Katie famously had one night of passion with Pop Idol star Gareth Gates, allegedly taking his virginity. 2002-2004: Katie was dating Scott Sullivan when she entered the jungle for I'm A Me Out Of Here!. He threatened to "punch Peter's lights out" when chemistry blossomed between her and Peter Andre. 2004-2009: The jungle romance resulted in Katie marrying Aussie pop star Peter. They had two kids, Junior and Princess, before their bitter split in 2009. 2010-2011: Fresh from her break-up with Peter, Katie enjoyed a whirlwind relationship and marriage with cage fighter Alex Reid. They split 20 months after their Las Vegas wedding. 2011: Katie briefly dated model Danny Cipriani... but it ended as quickly as it begun. 2011-2012: They didn't speak the same language, but Katie got engaged to Argentinian model Leandro Penna in 2011. He later fled home to South America. 2012-2018: Wedding bells rang once more after Katie met Kieran Hayler in 2013. They had two kids together, Jett and Bunny, before their break-up and divorce. 2018-2019: Katie moved on quickly with Kris Boyson. They had an on-off romance for one year and even got engaged. They split for good in 2019. 2019: Katie was linked to Charles Drury during her on-off relationship with Kris. Charles, who also dated Lauren Goodger, has always denied being in "official relationship" with her. 2020-2023: Car salesman Carl Woods took a shining to Katie in 2020. Their relationship was up and down for three years. They broke up for a final time last year. 2024-present: After weeks of rumours, Katie confirmed her relationship with Married At First Sight star JJ Slater in February this year. Sources said producers deliberately cut the former glamour model out of forthcoming ITV2 show, The Princess Diaries, because it is 'not good for Princess to be seen with Katie'. In a bid to market the youngster as a pretty, middle-class influencer, they even turned down Katie's team's offer to film for free for three days. An insider previously told us: "Katie feels isolated and disregarded. "She loves Princess so much and is supremely proud of the young woman she is becoming. "But with all her expertise in the field, Kate obviously hoped to help steer her career — oversee contracts, advise her on press, that sort of thing. 'She has seen and done it all, and hoped to instil some wisdom and advice on how to handle fame. 'But ITV2 execs have made it clear they want nothing to do with her. "Princess has been advised to distance herself from her outspoken mum, and is perhaps too young and shy to defy orders." Also in the latest episode of The Katie Price Show, Pricey took a savage swipe at her ex Peter Andre - saying Princess is "scared to tell the truth".

Inside Mel B and Geri Halliwell's turbulent relationship with ‘night of passion' after star skipped wedding
Mel B previously expressed her heartbreak when Geri left the Spice Girls nearly three decades ago TOO MUCH Inside Mel B and Geri Halliwell's turbulent relationship with 'night of passion' after star skipped wedding AS THE two feistiest members of the Spice Girls, things were always going to be turbulent between Geri Halliwell and Mel B. Ginger and Scary Spice's fiery relationship came back into the spotlight recently when Geri, 53, skipped Mel's wedding. 7 Over the years Mel B and Geri Halliwell's relationship has been a hot topic of conversation Credit: Rex Features 7 Mel claimed that her and Geri shared a 'night of passion' Credit: Getty - Contributor 7 Ginger and Scary were always the feistiest of the Spice Girls back in the day Credit: Getty The Spice Girls burst onto the scene in 1996 with five fresh faced young women all hoping to become stars. Along with Geri and Mel, the band was formed of Emma Bunton, Victoria Beckham (formerly Adams) and Mel C. With nicknames like Ginger, Scary, Baby, Posh and Sporty they were an instant hit after releasing the very catchy tune, Wannabe. They were immediately catapulted into superstardom, and soon became household names around the world thanks to songs like Too Much and 2 Become 1. But behind-the-scenes, the band was often plagued by reports of "in-fighting" and "creative differences" - mainly between the girl group's feistiest members, Geri and Mel. Here we take a look at Ginger and Scary's relationship and how it's played out over the years. GERI LEAVES THE SPICE GIRLS In 1998, just two years after the Spice Girls had been propelled to international stardom with Wannabe, Geri announced she was leaving the band. At the time, she said she was quitting because of 'creative differences' and also impact of being in the supergroup was having on her mental health. Writing in her 2002 memoir Just For The Record, Geri said: 'One thing that was clear at the time I decided to leave was that inside Ginger Spice, underneath the make-up, the big hair, the giant platforms and the headline-grabbing dresses, there was a real girl and she was being suffocated." The news of Geri leaving the band on the eve of their US tour starting, hit the other Spice Girls hard - especially Mel. Mel B stuns in white gown at star-studded St Paul's Cathedral wedding Previously speaking on Loose Women, Scary Spice candidly said: "When Geri left the group, it was bad. "She left on my birthday and didn't tell anybody. "She didn't show up. We had the American part of the tour to continue." Elaborating further on the impact Geri's sudden Spice Girls departure had on her, Mel told Piers Morgan's Life Stories: 'It bothers me because we're so solid and we know each other inside out, us five girls. 7 Mel was left heartbroken when Geri suddenly quit the Spice Girls Credit: Getty - Contributor 'We would take a bullet for each other. "So it was devastating to me that she felt so bad about herself and her situation that the only way out was just to leave and not talk. 'I still remind her of it. She was round yesterday and I said to her, 'Why did you leave? Really, why did you leave?'' During the Spice Girls mini reunion in 2019, Geri admitted that she regretted leaving the group. Speaking on stage, she told fans: 'I'm sorry. I'm sorry I left. I was just being a brat. "I want to say it's just so good to be back with the girls that I love." CREATIVE DIFFERENCES Being the loudest members of the Spice Girls, there were always rumblings of creative differences between Geri and Mel. This appeared to come to a head during the 2019 reunion. According to sources, the pair began bickering about the creative direction of the tour, right from the outset. Mel reportedly wanted to re-market herself as a "more sexy and edgy star", while Geri wanted the band to head into a more "wholesome" direction. Before the tour kicked off an insider told The Sun: "The gigs will go ahead whatever happens, but those two couldn't be more divided and both see themselves as the boss. "Everyone involved is braced for some epic arguments once they're back together.' 7 Geri was left unhappy following Mel's claim that they slept together Credit: Getty 'NIGHT OF PASSION' It could be said that Mel and Geri's relationship never truly recovered after Scary's claims that they had once had a "night of passion" together. The bombshell claim came during Mel's interview on Piers Morgan's Life Stories in 2019. Before this time, there had never been any mention of a "romp" between the two women. But pressed by host Piers, she admitted: 'She (Geri) is going to hate me for this because she is all posh in her country house and her husband, but it's a fact. 'It just happened and we just giggled at it and that was it. 'We were best friends. Have you ever done that?' And she added of Geri: 'She had great boobs.' Piers asked: 'So just once?' Mel replied: 'Yeah.' Triumphant Piers added: 'This is a bombshell. A Spice Girls bombshell. You have never admitted this before have you? People are going to be fascinated.' Mel said: 'Yeah and I have said it now. All done. She is going to kill me and so is her husband.' She added: 'Hopefully when Geri gets asked that, which hopefully she will after this, she won't deny it, because it was just a thing, a fun thing.' 7 It was reported that Geri and Mel's relationship never fully recovered after the bombshell sex claim Credit: Reuters Speaking to Aussie radio station 2Day shortly after she made the claim about herself and Geri, Mel said: "I couldn't even speak to your producer earlier because I was on the phone with Geri. "I did the interview, but I just texted her and said: 'I admitted on Piers that we had a little bit of a thing but don't worry about it, it was all tongue in cheek and I didn't go into detail.' "'I said: 'This was pre your husband, pre your baby, pre one of my babies. It's fine.' I don't know why everyone's making such a big deal about it." She added: "We had a long conversation. She texted me the night of [the interview] and then we spoke at length today - amongst other things cos we're getting ready for tour right now." However, Geri reportedly was fuming with Mel, with her spokesperson stating at the time that the claim was 'simply not true' and 'very hurtful' to Ginger's family. Geri's husband Christian Horner was also said to be 'mortified' by the claims. 7 Geri was a no show at Mel's recent wedding to Rory McPhee Credit: Splash SKIPPING WEDDING Now rumours of a "reignited feud" between Ginger and Scary have remerged after Geri skipped Mel's wedding. She hasn't given a reason why she was not at the ceremony last month, which saw Mel wed Rory McPhee. It should be noted that she wasn't the only Spicey to miss the wedding, in fact, Emma Bunton was the only one who could make it. However, what was different with Geri was she completely ghosted the whole event, and unlike the other Spice Girls, failed to congratulate Mel on social media. The silence was deafening with reports of a "feud" between the pair emerging once again. All eyes were then on Geri to see if she would be at Mel's second wedding to Rory last weekend in Morocco. Sadly, Spice Girls fans were left disappointed as Ginger was a no show once again.
