Rolling Stones 'are working on a new album in London studio and are in talks for a release date' after dropping plans for massive summer tour
The Rolling Stones are reportedly working on a new album and have been in the recording studio since April. Sir Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, both 81, and Ronnie Wood, 78, are believed to have been busy laying down 13 songs in West London's Metropolis Studios. The legendary band are reportedly 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. A source told The Sun: 'Mick, Keith and Ronnie have been secretly recording their new record with their drummer Steve Jordan. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to Daily Mail's showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. '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.' The publication also revealed that the band have teamed up again with producer Andrew Watt, who worked on Hackney Diamonds. MailOnline have contacted the band's representatives for comment. It was recently revealed that the Rolling Stones will play four UK dates at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as part of a European tour this summer. The legendary rock band haven't played a gig in their home country since 2022, when they wowed audiences at two Hyde Park concerts. Now the Paint It Black hitmakers - who have a combined age of 239 - are to put on a series of spectacular comeback dates in London, as they bring their Hackney Diamonds tour to Europe. The trio stunned American concertgoers with a major run of sold-out shows from Houston to Missouri. An insider said: 'Mick, Keith, and Ronnie can't wait to bring the show to UK audiences. 'They've been planning it for months and are itching to get back out on the road and do what they do best, which is perform. 'All three of them feel so alive when they are in front of a stadium full of fans. It keeps them young. 'They want to show everybody that they have still got it. It is going to be amazing.' An official announcement by the band is expected in the coming weeks, and is to include dates in Barcelona, Rome, Amsterdam, and Paris. It was revealed last month that the Hackney Diamonds Tour eclipsed Taylor Swift's record-breaking Eras Tour in single-night revenue pulling in a staggering £10,345,659 per night. The iconic group banked the most per night from their concerts, according to Pollstar's annual Voice of Live year-end review which looks at the last 12 months' worldwide shows. The rockers proved that legacy acts still reign supreme as the appeal of their classic hits still brings out the crowds six decades after their debut. It was revealed at the start of the year that the legendary rock band's Hackney Diamonds Tour eclipsed Taylor Swift's record-breaking Eras Tour in single-night revenue Fans grabbed up tickets for their 18 shows in record time and although 35-year-old Taylor's 149 global shows shattered box office records becoming the first ever to earn over a billion dollars, the superstar was around £10k a night short of the band. However, the Shake It Off star's finish of £1.74bn was over double that of what previous record holder Elton John with his Farewell Yellow Brick Road bought in. The US singer's takings of £830m in 2024 alone, almost match Sir Elton's entire five-year total. The Stones charged £250 on average per ticket, whereas Swift charged £180. And The Stones took home £235 million in total. Meanwhile, Coldplay, third on the list, took home £6,186,482 per concert on their Music of the Spheres tour.

Fern Britton reveals the brutal way her ex husband Phil Vickery cut contact with her after their 20-year marriage ended
Fern Britton has revealed the brutal way that her ex husband Phil Vickery cut contact with her after their 20-year marriage ended. The television presenter, 67, became divorced from the TV chef, 64, in 2020 after two decades together. The split followed the deaths of Fern's parents, which reportedly caused the pair to realise that they had to 'follow their own paths'. Now in a new interview Fern has said that Phil stopped talking to her after her mum died in 2018. The pair were previously reported to have maintained a 'basic' level of communication after they split. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. But Fern has now revealed she didn't hear another word from her him after her mum passed away. In an interview with Yours magazine, Fern admitted: 'He hasn't spoken to me for six years now. As soon as my mum died, he stopped talking to me.' A representative for Phil has been contacted by MailOnline for comment. The Celebrity Big Brother 2024 contestant insists she tries 'very hard' to not 'bad-mouth' Phil for the sake of their 23-year-old daughter Winnie. Fern shares twin sons Harry and Jack, 31, and daughter Grace, 27, from her first marriage, to Clive Jones, and daughter Winnie with ex Phil. She said: 'Winnie adores him. I'm not going to bad-mouth him in front of her; at least, I try very hard not to. 'I was the child of divorced parents and my mum never bad-mouthed my father.' Earlier this week Fern candidly reflected on a experiencing a 'catalogue of difficulty' in the past few years - amid her jaw-dropping five stone weight loss. The star has faced emotional turmoil throughout her life, from her divorce from Phil and a terrifying stalker ordeal. Sharing her favourite home comforts - being with her cats Dr Iain Mackerel and Barbar in Cornwall - Fern emotionally touched on her past difficulties. She told The Sunday Times: 'When I'm not feeling well, one of my cats will always sit on my bed with me. They take it in turns, like a shift pattern. 'This has been particularly comforting in recent years because I've had a catalogue of difficult things to face, from getting my home together here in Cornwall to discovering that I had a stalker.' She recently admitted that while she does get 'lonely', she is still not looking for love five years on from her split. She told Woman & Home: 'I'm not looking for love - I'm still a bit too wary of losing my liberty. 'There's nobody to run something past but, on the other hand, I think back to running things past people and it never really worked out, so why don't I just make my own decision? Then I'm the only person who can go, 'I f***ed up there.' Last year, Fern's stalker was handed a ten-year restraining order and 150 hours of unpaid work after he admitted harassing the TV presenter. James Haviland, 63, of Great Oaks Chase, Chineham, Hampshire, pleaded guilty to stalking the former This Morning presenter without causing fear, alarm or distress in a two year crusade. The court heard Haviland began his 'prolonged campaign' in 2021 when started sending the mother-of-four, 66, cards and flowers. On three occasions the married father made the four-hour drive from his Hampshire home to the village of Padstow more than 200 miles away where the former This Morning presenter has gone on holiday as a child. As part of his oppressive behaviour, he even rented the holiday cottage which the star owns. In 2020, the Celebrity Big Brother star moved 270 miles from her home in Buckinghamshire to the Southwest coast of England after she split with Phil. The presenter said it had helped her heal after they split following 20 years of marriage, and her parents passing away. In recent months, Fern has continued to showcase her incredible five stone weight loss. In a recent Instagram post, the presenter looked effortlessly chic in a plaid blazer and trousers while resting her hand on her slender waist. Fern recently revealed the turning point behind her dramatic weight loss in an interview with Woman&Home magazine. The presenter reflected on the powerful moment she decided to take back control of her health. She told the publication: 'People often wonder when you lose lots of weight whether you've done it naturally. 'And I can look at you and say, 'Yes, I have'.' 'I had my shoulder replacement 18 months ago, and two-and-a-half years ago, when I saw the surgeon, he said, 'I'm going to totally replace your shoulder, I'll see you in a year.' 'I thought, 'I need to get my life back on track. I need to stop smoking, stop drinking, get eating under control and stop lying in bed feeling sorry for myself'. 'So I started the Couch to 5k, took about 80 per cent of the sugar out of my life and started to think about what I was eating, which I had never done before.' Fern became a household name alongside Phillip Schofield from 1999 to 2009, when she was replaced by Holly. She reportedly blames Phil for her This Morning exit and isn't afraid to speak out in the CBB house. It was claimed at the time of Fern's This Morning exit she felt 'undervalued by ITV' and that she was 'living in Phil's shadow'. It was also reported she was being paid £250,000 a year less than Phil and that he was earning three times her salary when they were fronting Mr and Mrs together from 2008 to 2010. Phil is said to have banked £45,000 an hour while Fern earned just £15,000. However, Fern denied she left ITV because of her salary and upon her departure she mentioned the whole This Morning team rather than just Phillip. Four years after her departure, Phillip admitted he and Fern no longer spoke.

I was 15 when my nude pics were leaked – grown men sent them around at the football club & everyone blamed ME
LIKE many young girls, Jess Davies wanted to impress her school crush and decided to send him an explicit photo of herself. Little did the 15-year-old know that he would send it around the school and she would become a victim of image abuse. "That image got bluetoothed around my school, and then it got shared around my hometown, which was a small hometown in Wales, everyone knows everyone," she explained on the Should I Delete That podcast. Image-based sexual abuse is a criminal offence, it's when someone takes, shares, or threatens to share sexually explicit images or videos of a person without their knowledge or consent, and with the aim of causing them distress or harm. This can include digitally altered images, also known as 'deepfakes' - something Jess has gone on to lobby the government to include in the Online Harms Safety Bill. Now 32, Jess has opened up about the trauma it caused and more shockingly, how she was blamed for the abuse. She revealed that once the photo had circulated in her hometown, it was then shared to grown adult men on the local football team. Instead of seeing Jess as a victim, whose private photo was shared without her consent, people blamed her. "Everyone knew my age because it was a small town, and yet, the whole narrative was around how it was my fault," Jess added. "That I shouldn't have sent it, what kind of girl are you? "There was never any conversation around why are men in their twenties and thirties passing around a child's image?" Jess was left as a teenage girl worrying about how to navigate the situation, and she decided she had to laugh it off. Vicky Pattison shares deepfake porn clip of herself as she warns of dangers on C4 doc She revealed that boys in year 7 would run up and ask for a hug as they had seen the image as well. "I was laughing but secretly, this was humiliating," she said. In the end, her parents also found out about the image, as her nan was told about it from one of the men on the football team, where the image was being circulated. Now, as Jess has gotten older, she realises that the way people treated her for the image was not okay and that she was held more accountable than the grown men sharing the image. It has now led Jess to become an advocate for female rights and sexual abuse. Her BBC documentary 'Deepfake Porn: Could You Be Next' was used to lobby the UK government to criminalise deepfake porn. Jess also has a new book, No One Wants To See Your Dick, a guide for surviving the digital age to help us understand and tackle online misogyny and question society's understanding of consent.
