The Rolling Stones and Lady Gaga performed their recent collaboration Sweet Sounds Of Heaven live at the band’s New York album launch show.
Celebrating the release of ‘Hackney Diamonds’ – their first studio album in 18 years – at Racket NYC, the band played a set including Shattered, Angry, Whole Wide World, Tumbling Dice, Bite My Head Off and Jumpin’ Jack Flash, along with their new song with the pop superstar.

During the show, Questlove served as the DJ for a star-studded audience, including Jimmy Fallon, Christie Brinkley, Elvis Costello, Trevor Noah, Keegan-Michael Key, Daniel Craig, Chris Rock, Rachel Weisz, Andrew Watt and others.
‘Hackney Diamonds’ was recorded in various locations around the world – including Los Angeles, London, the Bahamas and New York – and is their first set of new material since 2005’s ‘A Bigger Bang’.
Since then, the Stones have continued to smash box office records with a series of global sellout tours and released 2016’s Grammy-winning ‘Blue & Lonesome’, featuring renditions of many of the blues tracks that helped shape their sound.
Last year, they thrilled European audiences totalling nearly a quarter of a million on the anniversary ‘Sixty Tour’.
