They believe that copying the Rolling Stones’ style without personal input is lazy and wrong.
- They enjoy using deepfake technology for their music video “In the Stars,” showing a preference for creativity and originality even in AI-related applications.
- Jagger praised Olivia Rodrigo’s rock music abilities, highlighting the transition from her previous pop style to rock as interesting and not uncommon.
- The Rolling Stones have not yet announced plans for live performances around the release of their album “Foreign Tongues,” although Keith Richards did not rule out the possibility of a 2027 tour.
