Hollywood industry publication Variety reported
late on Tuesday that the former Beatle had recorded bass parts
"for a forthcoming Rolling Stones project being helmed by 2021
Grammy producer of the year Andrew Watt".
It added the recording sessions were done in Los Angeles
recently and that McCartney's ex-bandmate Ringo Starr was "also
slated to play on the yet-to-be-announced album".
Asked about the report, a spokesperson for the Stones confirmed
McCartney "guests on bass on one song" for the album, which will
be released later this year. He said Starr had not been
involved.
In a video message on his social media pages last month, Stones
guitarist Keith Richards told fans "there's some new music on
its way".
The new album would be the first since the death of Stones'
drummer Charlie Watts in 2021.
