The Rolling Stones on Amy Winehouse: “It was like saying goodbye to Billie Holiday again”

By VMZ Staff on July 6, 2026

Keith Richards said they were "honoured to have played with her at least once"

The rock legends are gearing up to release their 25th studio effort, ‘Foreign Tongues’, on July 10 via Polydor/Universal Music. It’s set to feature guest appearances from Paul McCartney, Robert Smith, Steve Winwood, and the band’s late drummer Charlie Watts – you can pre-order your copy here.

The Rolling Stones icon appeared on the Today show earlier this week, where he was asked which contemporary artist he’s listening to these days.

 

“My son said to me, ‘Oh, Zara Larsson is having a big comeback.’ I said, ‘But she never went away for me.’” He added that he’s been a fan of the Swedish singer since her 2018 hit ‘Ruin My Life’. “When I’m in that mood, that’s what I like,” he added.

Larsson was on the same show on Friday (May 8), where the hosts played the clip to her. “I can’t believe it,” she said after watching. “It’s so beautiful to just see how everyone’s coming on this journey.”

Larsson released her fifth studio record last summer, including the singles ‘Pretty Ugly’, ‘Midnight Sun’ and ‘Crush’. Earlier this month, she followed it up with the remix album ‘Midnight Sun: Girls Trip’, which features PinkPantheress, Shakira, Tyla, Robyn, Madison Beer, Kehlani, Bambii and more.

 

The Rolling Stones’ ‘Foreign Tongues’ Features an Amy Winehouse Cover
Ronnie Wood stopped by "The Tonight Show" to discuss the forthcoming Stones album, his solo touring, and his love of painting.

Ronnie Wood is just as excited as the rest of us for the release of The Rolling Stones’ 25th and latest studio album Foreign Tongues.

When the legendary British guitarist proved it when he stopped by The Tonight Show on Thursday night, May 7, demonstrating the bounce of a cat, and the energy of lightning bolt.

Wood, age 78, will turn back time when he sets out on a run of solo shows in the United Kingdom and Continental Europe this summer, his first in 16 years. And in November, an exhibition of his artwork in Germany.

The album, Fallon explained, reading from a vinyl copy, includes a cover of Amy Winehouse’s “You Know I’m No Good,” the original of which was housed on the late diva’s Back to Black album from 2006. Winehouse and the Rolling Stones have history. The “Rehab” singer joined the Rock Hall-inducted band on stage in June 2007 at the U.K.’s Isle of Wight Festival, for a rendition of “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg.”

Late night viewers were also treated to a snippet of “Back In Your Life,” which features a “fantastic” Wood solo, according to Fallon, who has enjoyed an early listen to the album. Wood, we learned, drew divine inspiration for the recording. The Englishman cut his solo on the day Brian Wilson died, last June, when he was still reeling from Sly Stone’s passing days earlier. “It came out my guitar, the feeling, you know,” he recounts. “Just one take. I didn’t do that, the guitar played itself.”
