Producer Andrew Watt (September 2025): Working with the Stones again

I’ve said it before, it’s like working for Batman. I’m Commissioner Gordon. Or it’s opposite, actually. When the bat sign goes up in the air, when the tongue is up in the air, you just go. When it’s time you go. I can say we did some recording together, but that’s all I can say.


Andrew Watt (October 2025): T-shirt Mick

Something that I find really funny when he sings... He comes in every day and he's wearing a T-shirt, a button-down and a cashmere sweater every day, even if it's hot. As he starts singing, and it starts getting good, the layers start shedding. So, he pulls his sweater off, and he starts unbuttoning his shirt and shedding layers. By the time he's in his T-shirt, he's full-blown Mick Jagger dancing, singing his ass off. So it's my job to get him down to the T-shirt pretty much.

Ron Wood (May 2025): The secret to the Rolling Stones' longevity

We’re not on the phone to each other every five minutes. When we’re not touring we keep in touch, just to keep the feelers in each other’s camp, but we don’t over-familiarize – we run on faith and truth. We have faith in our music, and we always have hope that people will keep turning up, and sure enough they do.
