Mary J Blige is set to join the Rolling Stones on stage this weekend at their New York show, in Brooklyn Barclays Center.

The singer previously appeared with the band to duet with Mick Jagger on 'Gimme Shelter', at the first of the Rolling Stones' two shows at the London O2 Arena.

Blige appeared on stage at the 25 November gig - which was sadly overshadowed by Florence Welch's performance on 29 November.

The band's official website has now confirmed that both Blige and Gary Clark Jr are to guest star at the Rolling Stones' New York shows, writing, "The Rolling Stones have announced that Mary J. Blige and Gary Clark Jr. will be joining the band on stage for their first U.S. 50 and Counting concert at The Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY on Saturday, December 8."

It continues, "The five Rolling Stones’ concerts are the band’s first in over five years.

"The Stones will continue the 50 And Counting shows with two more dates in the U.S. at Newark’s Prudential Center on December 13th & 15th."


Blige with Adam Levine - we're sure there's a 'Moves Like Jagger' joke to be found here somewhere.

Gary Clark has performed with Mick Jagger before - he appeared on stage with him at the White House's Red, White and Blues event earlier this year.

The blues guitarist also has rock star credentials with Eric Clapton, as he appeared on Clapton's Crossroads tour back in 2010, and it's as yet unknown which of the Stones' songs he'll perform on.
