About this listen
Mick Jagger has been riding a fresh wave of attention this October, with several major headlines and business moves. Most prominently, Jagger revealed details about The Rolling Stones’ upcoming reissue of Black and Blue, sharing on his social media that he recently laid down new vocals for their expanded cover of the 1975 disco hit Shame Shame Shame. Jagger posted studio footage with backing singer Chanel Haynes, underscoring his hands-on involvement in the project. The deluxe remix, filled with unseen outtakes and live performances, drops November 15 and is already generating buzz. According to American Songwriter, the lyric video is up on the band's YouTube channel, fueling nostalgia and anticipation among fans. This expansion of a classic album is significant for long-term fans and Stones collectors, with Jagger’s new contribution spotlighting his enduring creative drive.
Business-wise, Parade reports that The Rolling Stones have completed work on their 25th studio album. Ronnie Wood confirmed it is “done” and scheduled for release in 2026. Jagger, Wood, and Richards—all now in their eighties—continue to defy expectations, with Wood teasing a possible tour in support of the record next year. This is major: after tearing through their Hackney Diamonds tour this summer, the announcement cements the Stones’ six-decade longevity. The possibility of another global tour would be a landmark event, given their ages and historic stature.
In publishing news, Ewan Gleadow notes in Cult Following that Jagger’s unpublished autobiography resurfaced this week. Publisher John Blake described the lost memoir as “extraordinary insight” and speculated it could fetch up to $1000 a copy if ever released. Although this tantalizing manuscript remains shelved, its reappearance sparks renewed curiosity—especially since Jagger has reportedly “no memory” of writing it. Despite periodic buzz, sources close to the band insist the book remains out of reach, closing the door on a potential blockbuster release, unless Jagger has a change of heart.
On the personal front, there is renewed talk about Jagger’s engagement to longtime partner Melanie Hamrick, confirmed earlier this year in Paris Match. Hamrick posted about their relationship on social media, but no extravagant public celebrations have surfaced recently. The couple, often low-key, remain a favorite topic for tabloids and fan accounts.
Finally, Dartford Living highlights the 25th anniversary celebration for the Mick Jagger Centre coming up this weekend, a testament to Jagger’s ongoing legacy in his hometown. While not a direct appearance, the center’s milestone draws local and media attention, reinforcing his philanthropic profile.
To summarize, this past week Mick Jagger’s confirmed new vocals and deluxe album reissue, imminent new Stones album, speculation about his autobiography’s value, continued engagement rumors, and a hometown center’s milestone have dominated the news cycle—each event weighted for its long-term impact on his biography and global pop culture status.
