The time has come: The greatest rock band in history releases their new album, 18 years after the last with original songs. Who better could Jan talk to about “Hackney Diamonds” than ROLLING STONE author Torsten Groß? Not only is Torsten a lifelong fan – he also met Mick, Keith and Ronnie for an interview in London. He lets us take part in this exciting journey and reveals behind-the-scenes stories from his meeting with the Stones. Of course, in this XXL episode we also talk about the album in detail and go through it song by song. A special weekly edition, then, but that’s only appropriate for this incomparable band.
