Rolling Stones released Foreign Tongues in July 2026.
Their “In the Stars” video used AI to overlay Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood’s faces on actors as 1968 musicians.
Jagger said the AI images look like versions of the band but needed work to match his likeness.
Richards called the AI effort “our brushing with AI” and said AI-generated copies of voices or instruments without input are “obviously wrong.”
