The Rolling Stones are going to take part in their first live Twitter Q&A on Monday, and have promised that a major announcement will take place.

Ahead of their massive US tour, the band will use the @RollingStones account to answer questions, as well as their personal account (@mickjagger, @officialkeef and @ronniewood). One suspects that they may steer clear of certain topics (not least the inter band rivalry) but the chance to grill Keith Richards on pretty much any subject is never one to pass up.

The Rolling Stones will be reissuing their classic 1971 album Sticky Fingers on 26 May 26, and they have shared one of the bonus tracks included on the reissue – a previously unheard acoustic version of ‘Wild Horses’. The reissue is set to feature other previously unavailable rarities, including the alternative version of ‘Brown Sugar’ featuring Eric Clapton, unreleased interpretations of ‘Bitch,’ ‘Can’t You Hear Me Knocking’ and ‘Dead Flowers’, and five tracks recorded live at The Roundhouse in 1971 (including ‘Honky Tonk Women’ and ‘Midnight Rambler’).
