Keith Richards hints that a new record is on the way

The Rolling Stones' Keith Richards has indicated that the band may begin working on a new studio album soon.

The guitarist's bandmate Ronnie Wood backed up Richards' claims, suggesting that he was up for getting in the studio too.

Speaking to BBC 6Music, Richards, when asked if a new album was on the cards, said: "Maybe, maybe, yeah – I don’t see why not.”

Drummer Charlie Watts backed up the statement, saying: "Yeah, I think we are [planning a new album] but, y’know, those two [Richards and guitarist Ronnie Wood] write them – I just play them."

Wood then chipped in, saying: "Oh really? Ok – I’ll go along with that!"
