Amy Winehouse, Werner Herzog & Unfinished Music: Extras From The Rolling Stones’ Billboard Cover Story

Billboard · 10 hours ago

Billboard has published a set of additional excerpts from its cover story interviews with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, conducted ahead of the release of their new album, Foreign Tongues. The extra material, gathered from separate sittings with Jagger in London and Richards in Manhattan, covers anecdotes that did not fit into the printed magazine piece, offering fans further insight into the band's personalities, working methods and creative choices decades into their career.

Highlights include Jagger noting the shift from old-school notepad interviews to modern multi-camera set-ups, and Richards revealing he still does not own a mobile phone, preferring to be reached only by landline through his manager. The pair also discussed the band's cover of Amy Winehouse's "You Know I'm No Good" on the new record, with Jagger explaining he added a harmonica line inspired by the song's horn part, and Richards reflecting fondly on Winehouse, whom the Stones once shared a stage with at the 2007 Isle of Wight Festival, describing her as one of Britain's most talented but tragic musical figures.
