It's not so much a comeback, since The Rolling Stones have been performing pretty steadily for years -- but their first studio album in almost ten years is no small feat.

Keith Richards confirmed Tuesday night during the iHeartRadio ICONS event that the Stones are coming back together to record their first studio album since 2005's A Bigger Bang.

Richards, who was promoting his solo album Crosseyed Heart prior to its upcoming release Friday, revealed that he and the old band recently met up in London.

"Actually, I was in London last week, and the boys [Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood] and I got together," Richards said at the live Q&A event, "and yeah, there are now definite plans to record."

The Stones are set to tour South America at the beginning of next year, making for a warmed-up transition into the recoding studio.
