The Rolling Stones are preparing to release a deluxe version of Some Girls, formatting it in a similar way to their hit release of Exile on Main Street.
Mick Jagger told Spinner, "I just finished off doing all the outtakes for the Some Girls album we’re releasing at Thanksgiving. We did Exile, we did a lot of different takes, a lot of different cuts that hadn’t come out before, so we’re doing the similar kind of thing with Some Girls, so I’ve just been doing them because a lot of them weren’t complete, so I had to complete them, and then we’re gonna mix those and put them out for Thanksgiving."

Brian May told the U.K.'s Daily Mail that the combination of the death of Freddie Mercury and his own father lead him to thoughts of suicide. "We lost Freddie and my dad died at almost the same time. I didn't want to live. I'd lost myself completely. I coasted along and got by somehow, but I couldn't get myself into gear. So I had to go into this place where I was isolated and removed from my life. Gradually, the suicidal feelings went away."
