JAKARTA - Mick Jagger admits that he regrets having to wait so long to record the new Rolling Stones album.

The legendary band released the album Hackney Diamonds on Friday (20 October), their first studio album to contain new material in 18 years. So far, it has been the longest inter-album break in the band's 60-year career.

With Jagger who is now 80 years old, guitarist Keith Richards will equal his age in December, the vocalist spoke to The Guardian, where he was asked if he regretted the length of time between releases.

"Yes, that kind of thing," he said. 'That I'm not breaking the whip. Keith kept saying in the interview, 'When Mick was ready to make an album, I would.' If that's all I want to say, that's great! We've started a big tour. But there's no point crying about it now.

Jagger noted that he and Richards never stopped writing songs together. I wrote songs all the time," he said.

You have to keep writing songs, and now everyone [in this band] can see that they can record easily. Only three weeks in the studio. It's not difficult. Too much anxiety is happening on previous albums. If it's not good then it's not good; if that line doesn't work, another line will work. Do it!" he continued.

Hackney Diamonds featured contributions from Paul McCartney,iko Wonder, Lady Gaga and Elton John, as well as drum fillings from Charlie Watts, the original drummer for The Rolling Stones who died two years ago.
