The Rolling Stones tease new music in cryptic Instagram video

The Rolling Stones have sent fans into a frenzy with a cryptic Instagram video hinting at new music.

A 13-second video was shared on the band's Instagram account on Friday (1 May) showing their iconic tongue and lips logo against a dynamic backdrop of shifting letters, words, and symbols.

A brief, unidentified musical snippet played in the background, while the caption, featuring a CD emoji, further fuelled speculation of an impending record.

The post comes amid speculation that the band is preparing to release a new album, which would be their first since their 2023 Grammy Award-winning record Hackney Diamonds.
