The Rolling Stones played their second night of the “Hackney Diamonds” tour on June 30, 2024, and brought Lainey Wilson on stage.

After playing the fan-voted song (“Shattered”) in the fifth slot, the Stones brought Wilson on stage. They performed “Dead Flowers” from their album Sticky Fingers.

During the performance, Mick Jagger donned a cowboy hat along with Wilson. The country song was a perfect song to bring Wilson on stage for. As the song ended, an enthused Lainey Wilson thanked the crowd as she hugged Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood.

This was not the only surprise the band had up their sleeve. Every show, Jagger gets a break in the middle of the set. Keith Richards gets to sing two or three songs each night: “Tell Me Straight” and “Little T&A.” During this show, a third song, “Before They Make Me Run,” was played.

The song made its tour debut with this performance. It is from their 1978 album Some Girls. The last time the Rolling Stones played the song was on November 15, 2021, during their “No Filter” tour.
