How Robert ended up on the new Rolling Stones album

From Guitar Player:

“You are Robert Smith from the Cure!” Mick Jagger recalls the unexpected moment that led to a Rolling Stones collaboration

By Christopher Scapelliti

The Stones frontman shared the story during a chat on Tuesday with Conan O’Brien in Brooklyn to announce the band’s new album, ‘Foreign Tongues’

When Mick Jagger walked into a London studio to record vocals for the new Rolling Stones album, he found an unexpected guest waiting for him.

“I turned up one day to do my vocals in London, and there's this bloke standing there, with his back to me, with this long gown on,” Jagger recalled during an invitation-only event on Tuesday, May 5. “And when he turned around, he was covered in lipstick.”

The man turned out to be Robert Smith of the Cure — someone Jagger had never met before.

“And I said, ‘You are Robert Smith from the Cure!’ And he said, ‘Yeah!’” Jagger told the crowd.

“So I said, ‘Well, while you're here, then you better go and do something.’”

The impromptu encounter led to a collaboration that will appear on the Stones’ upcoming album, Foreign Tongues, due July 10.

Jagger shared the story Tuesday during a conversation with Conan O'Brien in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where he appeared alongside the Stones’ electric guitar tandem of Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood to discuss the new record and preview a few tracks.
