Paul McCartney Relinquished a Coveted Studio Day to Play on Rolling Stones’ Song

Paul McCartney Relinquished a Coveted Studio Day to Play on Rolling Stones’ Song.

When it was suggested that Paul McCartney contribute to the Rolling Stones' forthcoming record, even if it meant lending his own previously reserved studio time with renowned producer Andrew Watt for the session, McCartney did not need much persuading.

Zane Lowe, a podcast and radio host, asked Mick Jagger on his role in "Hackney Diamonds," the first album of new Rolling Stones songs in 18 years, on his Apple Music 1 show.

Jagger claimed that Watt had booked the Stones for a three-week recording session, wedged around a week of studio time that McCartney allegedly already had.

Although the band felt obligated to finish the project after it had languished in limbo for far too long, the producer had nonetheless assured Jagger that he was fully devoted to writing the Stones' songs.

When the Stones learned the news, Jagger said they were okay with pausing despite their current momentum. But it also presented them with a chance.

Jagger admitted that while McCartney was kind with his time, he did not pay for the recording session that gave birth to "Bite My Head Off."

In the October 20th release "Hackney Diamonds," Lady Gaga, Elton John, and Stevie Wonder will also appear. Another former Beatle, Ringo Starr, was speculated to be on the record as well, but his appearance never happened.
