Although details about the collaboration remain scarce, this collaboration with Lady Gaga adds to the already star-studded lineup of Hackney Diamonds, featuring the incomparable music legend, Stevie Wonder.
As of now, representatives for Lady Gaga and the Rolling Stones have not responded to EW’s request for comment, leaving fans eagerly awaiting further updates.

Additionally, her exhilarating rendition of “Moth Into Flame” alongside Metallica at the 2017 Grammys cemented Gaga’s status as a versatile and boundary-pushing artist.
In a candid 2021 interview with EW, Gaga alluded to her artistic restlessness and hinted at an abundance of new music on the horizon. Her enigmatic response, “It’s just about [asking], ‘What will it be?'” reflects an artist in constant transformation. Gaga’s insatiable musical spirit continues to push the boundaries of creativity, with her musical prowess taking shape in various captivating forms.
