When unfolded, the work reveals a composite image unfettered by logical connections or sequences of imagery, in line with the surrealists\u2019 fascination with the workings of the subconscious mind.<\/p>\n The game was known as The Exquisite Corpse, and it\u2019s perhaps fitting that the Stones would reference it, deliberately or otherwise.<\/p>\n As early as the 1990s, their knockers were referring to them as The Strolling Bones (a name later taken up by various tribute and cover bands). Decades on, Jagger and Richards are 82 and Wood a relative sprig of a thing at 78, yet they are undeterred and seemingly determined to rock until they drop.<\/p>\n The band has been teasing a new release since April, when posters appeared in London for an outfit called The Cockroaches (a name Richards has used in the past, and most definitely not the precursor band to Australia\u2019s The Wiggles).<\/p>\n Those posters included a QR code that directed the curious to a website, thecockroaches.com<\/a>, with an image that included a calendar clock stuck on April 11 and a poster featuring a neon version of the iconic lips and tongue imagery the band has used as a logo since 1971.<\/p>\n![\"Is](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/b41d294e8894aa88e48621d2510a0ea58d93e746.jpeg\")
