Rolling Stones Recruit Gen-Z Star for Comeback Video

The have reportedly lined up Odessa A'Zion for their comeback music video, as they plot a return to the charts with their 25th album.

It was previously reported that the band are set to return to music with their first new album in three years, and are continuing their streak of featuring rising stars, following 's appearance in the video for their song Angry.

Sources claimed that Odessa, who recently starred in Marty Supreme, filmed her appearance in top-secret two-day shoot at Battersea Arts Centre in south London.

The band's album is reportedly set to be called Foreign Tongues, and will be preceded with a new song, titled Mr Charm, which is expected to be released on Saturday.

In a nod to their early days, The Stones have been teasing the music under their previous name The Cockroaches, with posters spotted featuring the name, with the band historically used for surprise, intimate gigs. 

A source said: 'The video represents the Stones through the ages. There's a lot going on. They brought in lots of extras to represent subcultures and sonic histories.'

They went on to tell The Sun: 'The idea is it blends everything from blues souls and punk kids with old school rockers and Northern Soul dancers.

'Odessa is at the centre of it all. The video should look really impressive when it's all tied together.'

Daily Mail has contacted representatives for The Rolling Stones and Odessa A'Zion for comment.

Odessa had a string of indie and roles in TV series including HBO's I Love LA, before she starred opposite Timothee Chalamet in Marty Supreme.

The performance earned her nominations for a BAFTA and an Actor Award.

It comes just days after reports that the Rolling Stones were plotting the release of their 25th, and possibly final, album.

While , 82, , 78, and , 82, will reportedly line up performances to promote the album, there are no plans for a tour.

A source told The Sun: 'The Rolling Stones album has been in the can for some time now.

'A lot of it was written and recorded a while back but there has been a lot of fine-tuning to make it perfect.

'The guys are aware they aren't getting any younger so some people are seeing this as a final album — but who knows with the Stones? They will be making some appearances together to promote it but there's not going to be a tour yet.' 

After joining forces with Andrew Watt for their 2023 album Hackney Diamonds, the Rolling Stones previously said they'd recorded 23 songs, and they kept 11 in the 'back pocket' for their follow-up album.

The album will also reportedly feature some of the final recordings of late drummer Charlie Watts, who died in 2021, aged 80.

Fans were previously treated to hints at the upcoming album after signing up to receive Whatsapp updates from The Cockroaches.

They then received a message that read: 'Pleased to meet you. Hope you guess my name,' which is a lyric from the 1968 Stones song Sympathy For The Devil.

The Stones first hit the road in 1963, and in the early years their shows were a byword for sexual and narcotic excess. They've performed more than 2,000 concerts – and are widely considered one of the best live acts of all time. 

Earlier this year, the veteran rockers were considering a four month stadium tour after turning down a similar run in 2025, including a 'proposed multi-million-pound visit to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium,' and several summer shows. 

Travel concerns and logistical issues were cited as mitigating factors in their decision to step away from the stage this year, but founding band-member Richards is understood to be behind their latest series of withdrawals.

The proposed shows would have been their first live performances since 2024, when they travelled the United States with their lucrative Hackney Diamonds tour.

Launched following the release of their Hackney Diamonds album the previous year, the tour included 20 concerts across North America, sold 880,000 tickets and earned the band a reported $235million.

It's understood that the Hackney Diamonds Tour eclipsed Taylor Swift's record-breaking Eras Tour in single-night revenue by pulling in a staggering £10,345,659 per night.
