Mick Jagger says that the Rolling Stones will not be making another album - as fans don't want to hear it.
The band's last release was 2012's GRR!, although it was only a greatest hits record, and their last studio album was in 2005 with A Bigger Bang.
However, they have no plans for a follow-up, because Jagger says that fans are only interested in hearing the classics.
Speaking to USA Today, he said, "It would be nice to have a new album, but people don't like the new album when you play it on stage. They glumly look at you. 'Okay, it will be over in a minute.' It's not a good excuse, but it's the truth and has to be said."
However, guitarist Keith Richards has other plans, and disagrees with Jagger about the need for another Stones album.
He added, "The time to record a band is once they've been on the road a while so they're hot. We'll think about that while we're doing this (tour). The world needs more Stones records. So do I."
