  • Scanning the QR code reveals a virtual bedroom scene with gig tickets, plectrums, and an analogue clock stopped at 1.41pm on Saturday 11 April.
  • 'The Cockroaches' is a name the Rolling Stones previously used for a secret gig in 1977, adding to the intrigue surrounding the potential new release.
  • If confirmed, this would be the band's 25th studio album.
