Cryptic clue teases a new Rolling Stones release! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-66592170 "The Rolling Stones appear to have revealed the title of their new album with an advert for a fictional glass repair business in a local newspaper.
The ad, which appeared in the Hackney Gazette, referenced several of the band's best-known songs.
"Our friendly team promises you satisfaction," it read. "When you say gimme shelter we'll fix your shattered windows."
The band have yet to confirm the existence of their 31st studio album.
However, the advert contained several clues: A miniature version of the Stones' famous lips logo appeared as the dot above the letter i, and the glass repair business was established in 1962, the same year the band was formed.
The company's name, Hackney Diamonds, is believed to be the title of their new album - and uses the same font as the band's 1978 album Some Girls.
The newspaper advert also features a phone number that customers can call to get a quote.
If they do, they hear a recorded message that says: "Welcome to Hackney Diamonds, specialists in glass repair: Don't get angry, get it fixed. Opening early September, Mare Street, E8. Register for a call at www.hackneydiamonds.com. Come on then."
The website offers fans the chance to join a mailing list, which is run by the Stones' record label, Universal Music."
