The Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood has revealed that the band could release a new record in 2016.

The musician told Billboard that the veteran group have been in the studio recently.

They have laid down some new material, as well as some blues covers.

Wood said: "We went in to cut some new songs, which we did.

"But we got on a blues streak. We cut 11 blues in two days.

"They are extremely great cover versions of Howlin' Wolf and Little Walter, among other blues people. But they really sound authentic."

When asked when fans could hear the new tunes, the guitarist said "this year".

The Rolling Stones' last album 'A Bigger Bang' was released in 2005.
