At this year's 67th Grammys, wins for The Beatles and The Rolling Stones in a year when other genres showcased rising stars prompt questions about who votes for rock at the Grammys — and what needs to be done for the awards to recognize new blood.
The rock 'n' roll band last released an album of original music in 2005, with A Bigger Bang. Hackney Diamonds will be their 24th album and their first since the death of drummer Charlie Watts.
The coin honoring the Rolling Stones is the fifth in the Royal Mint's "Music Legends'" series that celebrates British artists. Others so honored have been Queen, Elton John, David Bowie and The Who.
