We all need someone we can lean on. And if you want to, you can lean on the Rolling Stones.
The geriatric rockstars have been a rollicking, dependable force for over half a century, and that’s apparently not letting up anytime soon. The loveable lads from London put out their 26th studio album (if you’re going by American releases), Hackney Diamonds, just last October. Though it was their first album of originals since 2005, the Stones have claimed to have already over half of the follow-up in the can.
Keith and Mick are famously cagey on whether any given tour will be their last, and many fans assumed that the 2021 death of the backbeat of the Stones, Charlie Watts, would mean the 80-year-old rockers might finally hang it up. Not so.
While you can’t always get what you want, if you try sometimes, you can still get tickets to see the Rolling Stones’ closest concerts to NYC, this Thursday and Sunday at Metlife Stadium. And for pretty cheap, considering.

The Rolling Stones new music
On Oct. 20, the Stones released their 26th American studio album, “Hackney Diamonds,” featuring special guests Paul McCartney, Elton John, Lady Gaga and Stevie Wonder.
Comprised of 12 hard-rocking tracks that wouldn’t be out of place alongside their singalong stadium anthems of yore, “Diamonds” shows that Mick, Keith, and Ronnie still have their sticky fingers on rock and roll’s pulse.
“We wouldn’t have put this album out if we didn’t really like it,” Jagger, 80, told Jimmy Fallon. “We must say that we are quite pleased with it. We’re not big-headed but we hope you like it.”
If you’re looking to sample the record, we suggest starting with the fierce lead track “Angry” and the wistful ballad “Dreamy Skies.”
