THE Rolling Stones are working on a new album after dropping plans for a massive summer tour, The Sun can reveal.

GettyIt will follow their last album Hackney Diamonds soaring to No1[/caption]
They have laid down 13 songs and are in discussions over a release date for their 25th studio album.
The band’s last album, Hackney Diamonds, their first original work in 18 years, went straight to No1 following its release in 2023.
Sir Mick and Keith, both 81, and Ronnie, 78, have been holed up in West London’s Metropolis Studios.
A source said: “Mick, Keith and Ronnie have been secretly recording their new record with their drummer Steve Jordan.
“They’ve got 13 songs they’re happy with and they are discussing when they can release it.
“Originally, the plan was for them to bring their huge US tour to the UK and Europe this summer but promoters couldn’t get the dates to work.
“Instead the Stones decided to get back into the studio and put down their next album. It’s massive for their fans who didn’t get a chance to see them live this year.”
It is understood the It’s Only Rock ’n Roll stars have teamed up again with producer Andrew Watt, who worked on Hackney Diamonds.
Keith, who has a house in West Sussex, has been staying at London hotel The Dorchester so he can be closer to the studio.
An insider added: “Keith loves The Dorchester. It’s costing him a packet to stay there but it’s perfect for him.”
In November, to mark Ronnie’s 50th anniversary of joining the Stones, the band plans to release a remastered edition of its 1976 Black and Blue album, featuring two new tracks.

GREAT news, Marks & Spencer is back selling online.
After two months of troubles with a cyber attack the retail giant revealed to fans this week that their website check out would be up and running this week.
GettyMarks & Spencer’s online shopping is back up and running[/caption]
But good news, the website is allowing shoppers to check out from today.
However, M&S have warned that standard deliveries will take up to 10 days whilst they get up and running again.
But you need to act fast.
After its short but what feels like a lifetime hiatus eager M&S fans will be hitting that checkout button in their thousands with stock expected to vanish online.
Here, Fabulous’ fashion editor, Clemmie Fieldsend, reveals what you need to be buying now before they sell out.
THE DO-EVERYTHING DRESS
M&SSnap up this summer essential dress[/caption]
This dress is nearly all but sold out in Petite and Tall, sorry ladies, however it is available in Regular.
With a sleek and stylish square neckline, in lightweight linen this white dress with pale blue floral dress is a must have for summer.
You can dress it up with silver heels and jewellery or just sling on your go-to flip-flops or trainers for a casual look.
And the best bit, it’s got sleeves that cover the top of your arms.

Jeans and a nice top is the millennial clothing combination that will just never die, and if you need a summery statement top this season this is it.
In light organza fabric, must have black and white polka dot print and features a huge flower in the centre of the chest.
Nipped in at the waist it’s going to give you an hourglass shape with a slightly fluted peplum that will allow you to leave the Spanx at home and still look flattering.
It’s timeless and a statement all at the same time, a real must-have to be paired with jeans, trousers or its matching skirt.
I’ve got this exact swimsuit and its like shapewear for the poolM&S
M&S is the nation’s go-to for bras, so when it comes to swimwear you know you’re getting the same care and support in their swimsuits as you do their underwear.
This scalloped edge cossie comes in white, black, red and blue, however the blue has now gone, but is supportive on the bust and made with thick neoprene so gives you an ultra smooth silhouette.
I have this in black and it’s amazing, I’ve been dying to get hold of it in white but my size, 10, never seems to be in stores.
Beyonce landed on UK soil last week for her Cowboy Carter tour and has send the demand for all things cowboy soaring.
Cowhide inspired accessories have been a huge trend this year and aren’t going anywhere.
This stylish shoulder bag ticks all the boxes with a faux-hair finish and leather adjustable strap which means you can have it sitting on your shoulder or across your body for raving away at festivals hands free this summer.
This is bound to sell out as M&S have already tagged it online as “popular” so act fast.
M&SWhatever your summer plans you need this shirt hanging in your wardrobe[/caption]
I don’t know about you but for summer I want a shirt that can be worn over swimwear for when I’m away as well as one that can be worn in the evenings on holiday and in the UK.
This shirt does all of that.
It’s already sold out in four sizes but with its shell embroidered print in white sticking on black cotton it’s easy to see why.
This would look so stylish sipping some rose pool side, or even with a baggy pair of jeans a slip-ons in the UK.
This striped pair of linen trousers are as comfortable as they are stylish.
Even though their linen they look like they’re cotton trousers with all the same detailing such as back pockets and tie waist with a wide leg silhouette.
M&S did have another pair of linen trousers from earlier in the season that are now sold out in every size, but personally, I prefer this elevated style that you can wear everywhere.

Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale revealed to Fabulous why M&S is the shop of the moment. She explained:
“M&S has really pulled it out of the bag this season, there is so much good product to be excited about.
“A brand once known for its ‘frumpy fashion’ that notion is long gone with it now being one of the leading high street stores for womenswear.
“Its handbag range in particular is super strong with them selling 170% vs plan, with lots more designer dupes for just a fraction of the price.
“The brand is now also the #1 for style perceptions, compared to the #3 spot it had last year, this comes from a really strong design team focused on modernising the brand, not only taking into consideration how the pieces look, but how easy they are to wear also.
“Price is also a big factor with you being able to get many good quality pieces all for under £30.
“After having a sneak peak of the upcoming collection there are so many more amazing pieces that are dropping over the next few months to keep your eyes on.
“Think leopard print dresses, colourful co-ords, embroidered boho jackets, plus lots of swimwear and amazing accessories, as well as great wardrobe staples that will last year on year.”

LUKE HUMPHRIES will act as a reassuring big brother to Luke Littler if the German crowds pipe up during World Cup duty.
Littler’s past two visits to Germany – a Premier League night in Berlin and Euro Tour in Munich – proved to be ear-splitting ones as he received the wrath of the fans.

World champion Littler is frequently booed and jeered by German fans
But Humphries – who won the title with Michael Smith 12 months ago when they smashed Austria in the final – is there to provide support as they chase international glory.
Cool Hand Luke, 30, said: “It’s just about not getting involved in the crowd isn’t it?
“We’ve just got to make sure that if they’re on his back, I’ll be there to say: ‘Don’t worry about what they’re doing, focus on your game.’
“And if we play against Germany, that’s going to be hard but I think he’ll learn from the occasions of playing against crowds that are hostile.
“I’ve been there, I’ve had it a little bit before and you just have to focus on the game and not worry about what is going on behind you.”
Humphries beat Littler in the Prem final in London last month but their rivalry will be put to one side as they wear the St George’s flag on their chest for the first time together.
England will be parachuted into the second round on Saturday along with the other top seeds – Wales, Scotland‘s Dartan Army and Northern Ireland – and the format is doubles play.

Phil Taylor and Adrian Lewis were World Cup champions four times between 2012 and 2016 but until last year, it had been a barren spell for the English tungsten throwers.
Humphries, the world No1, said: “It will be me that probably decides but I might put Luke first to be honest because you play to your strengths.
“I think he’s definitely the best scorer in the world. That’s not a lie, it’s obvious.
“So, you’re going to put your strengths forward. You put him first, he is probably better at going for the bullseye than I am, getting the throws. Only if he’s comfortable with it.
“If not, I’ll go first but I played the anchor role last year. I could have said I’ll go first last year because I was the highest-ranked player.
“But I said to Michael, ‘you’re a fantastic scorer, you’ve done it before, you go ahead and set the standard and I’ll follow you’. And it worked.
Littler is definitely the best scorer in the world
Luke Humphries
“I felt really good going second, so maybe that’s my role for this year as well.
“Of course it’s going to feel special for him and it did for me. As you saw when we won last year, the emotion that comes out of you.
“You don’t expect it but it does because you’re just so buzzing. It’s really special and he will understand it.
“He may even feel a little bit nervous at the start, or for the first game we play, because all eyes are on us.
“Everyone will be expecting us to be powerful every game we play but I did say to him, it doesn’t matter how we play.
“As long as we win the trophy, that’s what really matters. It will be a special feeling for him, as it was for me.”

1 week agoUSA UpdateComments Off on Chelsea files: Mike Maignan transfer not completely dead in the water as Graham Potter keeps keen eye on Blues’ dealings
CHELSEA’S goalkeeping department has attracted plenty of attention in recent years.
Three new keepers have been signed for the first team in the past two years, with Djordje Petrovic and Robert Sanchez arriving in 2023 before Filip Jorgensen joined last summer.
GettyChelsea have walked away from a deal to sign AC Milan Mike Maignan[/caption]
But not one of them has proved capable of being a clear first choice in goal at Stamford Bridge and so there could be more movement this summer.
Chelsea had not initially planned to add a goalkeeper before next season but were attracted by the chance to land Mike Maignan.
Talks with AC Milan have been halted this week with the two clubs a long way apart in their valuation – though there remains a chance a deal could be revisited later this summer.
But that does not mean numbers are continuing to swell.
Chelsea could have had nine keepers on their books at one point this summer, but steps are being made to cut the group down to a sensible size.
Eddie Beach and Lucas Bergstrom have both been released at the end of their respective deals while Marcus Bettinelli has completed a move to Manchester City.
Petrovic, who spent last season on loan with sister club Strasbourg, had been considered potential pawn in the Maignan deal with Milan.
The Serbian keeper is understood to be interested in moving to San Siro should the opportunity arise later in the window.
Furthermore, there is speculation Sanchez could be on the move.
Chelsea insist they would be happy to continue with Sanchez and Jorgensen next season, but a number of clubs feel the former Brighton goalkeeper could be an option this month.
Ex-Blues boss Graham Potter, now at West Ham, is one keeping a keen eye on proceedings.
CLUB WORLD CUP
AFTER a draining season which saw the race for the Champions League places go down to the wire and ended with a final in Poland – it’s Club World Cup time!
Chelsea’s players heading for the United States are back at Cobham this week as they prepare to jet off to Atlanta this weekend.
But there is some better news for those who will not be included in the squad.
The likes of Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell, not part of Enzo Maresca‘s long term plans, will not have to report back for training until early July – that is if they are still at the club.
Chelsea still have an awful lot of players to move on this summer and the wages for Sterling and Chilwell could prove a problem.
Both went out on loan last season, to Arsenal and Crystal Palace, but are not going to be heading back to either club.
They will now at least have some time for a holiday and to get their ducks in a row over a move.
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE BOOST
QUALIFYING for the Champions League has transformed the year ahead for Chelsea.
Not only will they bank far more cash, attract better players and have a more confident coach and squad – but a tricky administrative mess has also been avoided.
For some time it looked as if Chelsea and Strasbourg – both owned by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital under the BlueCo umbrella – were going to end up in the Europa League together.
While Chelsea reached the Champions League, Strasbourg missed out on a Europa League spot on goal difference.
As Palace have shown, had things been different there could have been all sorts of problems.
That sort of issue would have been avoided as shares had already been moved into the required blind trusts.
However, as a further measure, the two clubs would not have been allowed to trade.
Chelsea have sold players to Strasbourg and seen Petrovic and Andrey Santos enjoy successful loans in France.
They have also confirmed their first signing from the Ligue 1 side this week with the £12million arrival of Mamadou Sarr.
CHEERS FOR BEERS
INCOMINGS and outgoings have become a regular theme at Stamford Bridge in recent years, but what if we told you there will be a whole new line-up at the ground next season?
It’s not the players that are changing, though; it’s arguably more important, the alcohol.
The new offerings available are as follows, and fans will wave goodbye to Singha being available at home matches.
Carling, Coors, Madrí Excepcional, Madri 0.0%, Staropramen, Pravha, Aspall, Rekorderlig, Doom Bar, Sharp’s Atlantic, and SALT Alpacalypse will all be options.
Stamford Bridge will have the best selection of beers in the Prem
Chelsea director Daniel Finkelstein was pleased with the change, stating on X: “Something fans have been talking about in almost every meeting since the new ownership.
And the word ‘every’ is only a tiny exaggeration, I promise.”
Fans too rejoiced at the announcement, with one claiming “Madri, staropramen and Pravha front 3 would hurt any defence” while another laughably claimed “could’ve done more alcohol options when we were s***”
One thing is clear, Manchester City’s football academy is a serious point of interest for Chelsea’s scouts and Joe Shields as the club look to add another ex-City youngster to their ranks.
A left-wing signing is the top priority, with Jadon Sancho returning to Man Utd and Mykhailo Mudryk’s future looking ominous as his number 10 shirt was re-distributed to Cole Palmer.
Noni Madueke and Tyrique George would be the Blues’ options for that spot should they not buy anyone, but Gittens seems to be the solution to that particular problem.
It’s another clever move from those with the cash to splash – as they can capitalise on a ‘poor’ season from a player who doesn’t fit his current manager’s system, but will fit Chelsea’s a treat.
In Gittens’ first season at Dortmund he excelled by all accounts, with the goal and assist numbers to back up this argument.
The key point being that Gittens was playing in a system that worked for him, as a touchline winger where he could get down the byline and either take on his man to create a crossing opportunity or cut inside and get a shot off on goal – much how Maresca likes his wingers to play, high and wide.
Last season however, under the current Dortmund management, Gittens’ role was adjusted to something more reminiscent of a left-sided attacking midfielder – a role in which he needed to receive the ball in similar spaces to what Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandez do at Chelsea, where he’s much less impactful.
However, Gittens comes with the added perk in this Chelsea side that he will have a lot of the same teachings that ex-City players Palmer, Lavia, Delap and Tosin Adarabioyo had developed before joining the Blues, helping his transition into the team.
CHELSEA RED SOX
The new away kit, set to be launched soon but already leaked, is based on Chelsea’s white, red and green kit from 1974 – but there is one KEY difference…
Fans are excited about the return of what is an iconic strip, but some were left confused by the major change from the original, as the re-make includes bright red socks.
Red incorporated into a Chelsea kit isn’t unusual, and has been frequently included down the years, but fans were still left bemused by such a striking change.
Some fans claimed it looks more like a Portugal kit than a Chelsea one, while others enjoyed the colour palette being reminiscent of designer staple Gucci.
The club have teased an official announcement, with fans eagerly awaiting the official launch of the new strip.

1 week agoUSA UpdateComments Off on Americans being handed checks worth $1,000 from ‘Boost’ program in just DAYS – and payments are for the entire year
SOME Americans could qualify for checks worth up serious money for an entire year.
The direct payment opportunity comes as part of a special initiative with financial wellness for students in mind.

GettyThe program benefits college students in a popular state (stock image)[/caption]
In Los Angeles, California, a guaranteed income program known as BOOST (Building Outstanding Opportunities for Students to Thrive) is in full swing.
Created by the Foundation for the Los Angeles Community Colleges, it’s “designed to bridge the gap between financial aid, wages, and the rising cost of living for students in the Los Angeles Community College District,” per a page dedicated to BOOST.
It’s the largest guaranteed income program for community college students in the nation, with more than $4 million in private funding directly from several foundations.
They include The Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation, the Young Adults Forward Fund, the ECMC Foundation, and the Weingart Foundation.
Not to mention, BOOST is the first to have a Randomized Control Trial (RCT) in partnership with the University of Pennsylvania, which will follow the select students and record information to help improve it for what would potentially be continued support.
At least 251 students can get $1,000 for 12 months through “unconditional cash payments.”
They would’ve already applied and been accepted near the end of 2024.
MONEY MOVES
To enroll, eligible candidates would’ve gotten an email titled “Welcome to BOOST.”
Detailed in the message would’ve been an Enrollment Form in a link to secure a spot in the program.
Those who filled it out immediately would’ve received a debit card with the first $1,000 distribution on it quicker than others.
Again, those payments continue for a total of $12,000 for a year-long period.
They are unrestricted and can be used at the student’s discretion.
The debit card is mailed out two to three weeks after the form’s completion.
How does Guaranteed Income work?
Guaranteed Income and Universal Basic Income programs have taken off in popularity recently.
After the Biden administration’s American Rescue Plan of 2021 sent stimulus money to local governments, dozens began testing guaranteed income (GI) systems.
The specifics vary, but GI typically involves payouts to people with low incomes. Unlike traditional welfare, there are no job requirements, drug tests, or other strings attached.
Some have pushed for a Universal Basic Income (UBI), which would go to everyone regardless of how much money they make at work. Alaska has used a similar system since the 1970s.
Proponents say this alleviates poverty while incentivizing work, unlike classic welfare, which cuts benefits from people who begin earning “too much” money to qualify.
Opponents argue such a system is too expensive to function on a large scale and suggest Americans should avoid becoming reliant on government money.
With some cities heralding the success of GI programs, some Republican-led states have moved to ban them. States like Texas and Iowa, for example, have undermined major spending plans by pushing against GI.
Instructions are included to activate it.
CASH INCOMING
First payments went out as early as November 25 or December 20, 2024, with the eighth or seventh payment arriving this month.
It’s always on the 15th starting in January, so in just days, the 251 students will get another $1,000 distribution on June 15, 2025.
Additionally, students who change their enrollment status at one of the LACCD colleges in the middle of the benefits period will still get the payments until the year is up.
The only requirement is that the students continue to complete surveys with the Center for Guaranteed Income Research at the University of Pennsylvania.
That way, BOOST can continue on helping students and be improved along the way.
Several other guaranteed income programs are sending out hundreds to thousands of dollars to Americans this year.
Checks worth $1,500 are being handed out as part of a “Breathe” program in one state with no strings attached.
Some families are also getting $725 monthly for a year as part of a recently “renewed” initiative.

COCO GAUFF admitted she was “surprised” by Aryna Sabalenka’s controversial comments after the French Open final.
Gauff, 21, came from behind on Court Philippe-Chatrier to win 6-7 6-2 6-4 on Saturday.
Coco Gauff responded to Aryna Sabalenka’s cutting remarksGettyGettyThe tearful world No1 described the French Open final as ‘terrible’[/caption]
It was the second Grand Slam of her career following the 2023 US Open success – with both coming against Sabalenka in the final.
But usually a gracious loser, Sabalenka, 27, bemoaned the “terrible” windy conditions contributing to her “terrible” performance.
She was also criticised for adding that Gauff “won the match not because she played incredible” but because “I made all of those mistakes”.
The Belarusian world No1 – who hit 70 unforced errors in the final – said: “This hurts so much.
“We showed terrible tennis in the final – that really hurts.
“If Iga [Swiatek] would [beat] me another day, I think she would go out today and she would get the win.
“It [the wind] felt like a joke, honestly, like somebody from above was just there laughing saying, ‘Let’s see if you can handle this.’
“Honestly, sometimes it felt like she was hitting the ball from the frame. Somehow magically the ball lands in the court, and you are kind of on the back foot.
“Thank you my team for your support. I am sorry for this terrible final. As always, I will come back stronger.
“Coco congrats. In these tough conditions, you were a better player than me. Well deserved. You are a fighter and a hard worker.”

A FUMING driver has been stuck with a Jeep that he cannot drive after a natural disaster left it unrepairable.
His finance company claims he owed them thousands of dollars, preventing him from buying a new vehicle.
WFLAA driver, Howard Welch, hasn’t been able to get his Jeep re-titled in months[/caption]
WFLAHis Jeep was flooded after Hurricane Helene[/caption]
WFLADespite having paid off loans on his vehicle, his financing company insisted they haven’t recieved any money[/caption]
The driver, Howard Welch, is still without a vehicle after the devastating Hurricane Helene flooded his Jeep, as reported by NBC affiliate WFLA.
“The storm brought catastrophic inland flooding, extreme winds, deadly storm surge, and numerous tornadoes that devastated portions of the southeastern United States and southern Appalachians,” as stated by the National Hurricane Center.
“Helene is responsible for at least 250 fatalities in the United States (including at least 176 direct deaths), making it the deadliest hurricane in the contiguous U.S. since Katrina in 2005,” the agency reported.
Despite not being able to drive his Jeep for the last nine months, Welch’s finance company has started sending him bills again.
Even though his insurance company, Progressive, has already paid off the loan on the Jeep, the bills keep coming.
The driver said he was sent $4,000 that he wants to use towards repairs so that he’s able to re-title the Jeep for personal use later on.
His insurance company also sent $14,903 to the finance company, Stellantis, which paid off the loan on the vehicle, as reported by WFLA.
Seven months after the check was deposited, Stellantis claimed they never received the money.
Progressive even showed Welch a copy of the check, which proved that Stellantis’ bank had already endorsed it.
“I’ve called him every week since November really trying to see what’s going on, I even helped them connected Progressive with Stellantis to see if I could connect the dots, you know, maybe they’re busy,” Welch said.
“I’ve been walking to and from work for the better part of a year now. It’s been a long time,” he added.
“I can’t buy a new vehicle right now because the line is still on my account. I can’t buy a new vehicle. I’ve been really patient with them. I’ve tried to figure it out with them, but last week was sort of the last straw.”
Drivers in this situation are often urged to verify that the insurance company has issued the check and to which address it was sent — which Welch already did.
If possible, drivers can even ask for a tracking number for the check to see its delivery status.
Car insurance tips
Here are some ways to lower monthly car insurance rates:
Increase the deductible – this may increase the amount drivers must pay in an accident
If the finance company insists they haven’t received anything, drivers can ask the company to place a temporary hold on their loan payments or set up a repayment plan until they receive the insurance check.
Most importantly, drivers should maintain detailed records of all conversations, emails, and letters exchanged with both the insurance company and the finance company, noting dates, times, and the content of discussions.
Now, Welch’s finance company is asking him for $500 as well as pushing him to continue making payments on the loan.
“That’s how it’s been made clear to me.” Welch said.
“They don’t have the check. But it’s clear to me, they have the check, they’ve cashed it.”
Welch is unable to re-title his Jeep and can’t afford another vehicle due to the lien on his credit report.
Stellantis did not immediately reply to The U.S. Sun’s request for comment.
