In an interview with SiriusXM NPR ( via Music News ), the guitarist explained that much of the material created for the album was not used: “There’s still a lot more Hackney Diamonds to work on. There will always be another (album) until we’re done. We can rest, but you know. You’re involved in this all the time. This is what we do. We need to see the Rolling Stones go by.”
Mick Jagger had previously stated that the band had recorded around twenty-three songs , and of those, twelve are included on Hackney Diamonds . When the Rolling Stones Jimmy Fallon 's show , Ronnie Wood let slip that the Rolling Stones had made two albums.
Keith Richards also spoke about how good music is for him: “It keeps me alert and my fingers moving. And I’m still finding different ways to play things. Even if you’re approaching 80, believe me, it doesn’t stop.”
