It's only rock ’n roll â€" but a new Rolling Stones studio album is set to make the band a whopping £2million.
Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, both 73, have been in recording studios in London and New York recently, and label Universal has renewed their contract for a new album.
Along with Ronnie Wood, 70, and Charlie Watts, 76, they will release a live compilation album around Christmas.
Then next year the band will bring out a new studio record to coincide with the end of their forthcoming European tour.

‘They were experimenting in the studio earlier this year, and everything just gelled. They ended up with around 15 tracks which they have cut down to album-length, and when the label execs heard it they were thrilled.
‘Age is no barrier to brilliant music, and there is no doubt the new stuff will sell.’ Richards was spotted in the studio in Manhattan on Thursday tinkering with the latest sound, while Jagger had been spotted making music a few weeks earlier.

The Stones’ last album Blue & Lonesome â€" their first studio record for more than a decade â€" went straight to number one on its release in December last year. And their latest tour, which begins in Hamburg in September, sold out in minutes.
Earlier this week Sir Paul McCartney seemed to take a dig at the Stones, suggesting audiences were not interested in new material.
The former Beatle said fans only wanted to hear ‘Satisfaction, Honky Tonk Woman â€" don’t just do the new stuff’.
