The Rolling Stones are back together with rehearsals starting this week for their European tour, which starts on September 9th in Hamburg, Germany.
Ronnie Wood, during an interview on BBC Radio 2, says rehearsals are like "family reunions," adding that it's "like a meal that goes on for a month."
Asked about the album the band is working on, he says that will be one of the topics of discussion as they get ready for the tour.
Ronnie Wood: "That's ongoing. We have some [songs] in the bag and I think, now that we're getting together again, we'll see what direction things are gonna take."
The last time the Stones started working on an album of original material, it morphed into 2016's album of blues covers, Blue & Lonesome.
The European tour runs through October 22nd in Nanterre, France.
