The Rolling Stones marked the launch of their upcoming album Foreign Tongues with a special event at The Weylin in Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood joined comedian Conan O'Brien for a discussion about the 14-track LP, set for release on July 10. The event celebrated lead single 'In the Stars' and earlier teaser 'Rough and Twisted.'
Just hours after confirming Foreign Tongues on Capitol Records, the band took over The Weylin, a historic domed events space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Jagger, Richards, and Wood emerged from behind the venue's vintage vault door to chat with O'Brien, who called it 'the gig of a lifetime.' O'Brien, having listened to the album 25 times, praised Jagger's vocals, prompting the frontman to quip, 'Well, I was taking a lot of drugs in ’68.' Richards joked about the venue's acoustics, shouting to producer Andrew Watt in the front row, 'Andrew, this is the worst echo chamber I’ve ever heard!'
