Rolling Stones' Tribute to Amy Winehouse: Cover of 'You Know I'm No Good' in Upcoming Album
The Rolling Stones pay tribute to the late Amy Winehouse in their upcoming album, Foreign Tongues, with a cover of her hit song "You Know I'm No Good." The band reminisces about their performance with Winehouse at the Isle of Wight festival in 2007 and expresses their sadness over her untimely death in 2011. Guitarist Ronnie Wood and Keith Richards share their fond memories of Winehouse and regret not getting to know her better.
The song "You Know I'm No Good" was originally written and performed by Winehouse on her album Back to Black. The Stones' version, with Mick Jagger singing from a male perspective, adds a new twist to the emotional lyrics about infidelity. Despite doubts about future tours, the band members express hope of returning to the stage in 2027, acknowledging the current hiatus as unusual.
Mick Jagger reflects on the absence of live performances and expresses a desire to tour the new album. The Stones' popularity as a live act is evident from their successful North America tour in 2024, grossing nearly a quarter of a billion dollars. Their upcoming album, Foreign Tongues, is set to be released on July 10, continuing their legacy as rock legends.
