The Rolling Stones have signed a new deal with Universal Music Group covering the legendary rock band's music and audio-visual catalogue, global merchandising and brand management, the music company said.

The deal continues a partnership that covers the band's catalogue including classic albums like Sticky Fingers that was released in 1971.
