The Stones held a listening party for Foreign Tongues Wednesday at the St. Clement Hotel in London. At the event, Mick Jagger, Ronnie Wood, and touring keyboardist Matt Clifford surprised the crowd with a quick acoustic performance. Before playing "Dead Flowers" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want," they debuted "Ringing Hollow," a song lamenting the current state of the United States, highlighted by the lyric "Lady Liberty don’t look so good when there’s a tear in her gown."

The milestone was celebrated in style on July 8, when Mick Jagger and Ronnie Wood hosted an exclusive release party overlooking the River Thames from the terrace of London's newest luxury hotel, St. Clement.

The star-studded guest list included Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz, Sam Fender, Sacha Baron Cohen, Simone Ashley, Christian Louboutin, John McEnroe, Glen Matlock and Vernon Kay, who joined the band to toast the release of Foreign Tongues.

The festivities ended with a dramatic 500-drone light show over the River Thames, illuminating the London skyline with the Rolling Stones' iconic tongue logo and artwork from the new album. The display appeared above landmarks including the London Eye and Big Ben and was synchronized to the band's latest single, "In The Stars."
