Odessa A’zion is preparing to take on a starring role in a new music video from The Rolling Stones.
The 25-year-old actress made a big impression with her lead performance in Marty Supreme, the successful comedy drama released in 2025, and she is now expected to feature in the band’s upcoming video after filming her scenes in London last week.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "The concept follows the Stones across different eras. There’s so much happening within it. They recruited a wide range of extras to reflect different subcultures and musical movements.
"The vision pulls together everything from blues and soul influences to punk energy, alongside classic rock fans and Northern Soul dancers.
"It also brings in touches of glam rock flair and a raw, DIY spirit to mirror the history of the Stones.
"Odessa sits right at the heart of the whole piece.
"The final video is expected to look incredible once everything comes together."
The iconic group previously featured Sydney Sweeney in the video for "Angry", their 2023 single. In the clip, the actress wore black studded chaps paired with a corset, later saying she felt "hot" despite criticism surrounding her outfit.
Sydney, who has quickly risen to become one of Hollywood’s most in-demand stars, told Glamour: "I felt hot. I picked my own outfit out of racks and racks of clothes. I felt so good in it."
Sydney also shared that the experience left her feeling confident and empowered.
She said: "One of the questions I get is, ‘Are you a feminist?’ I find empowerment through embracing the body that I have. That’s sexy and strong, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it.
"I’m in a Rolling Stones video. How cool and iconic is that? I felt so good.
"Everything I did, every move, was completely freestyle. I mean, who else gets the chance to roll around on top of a convertible cruising down Sunset Boulevard with police escorts? It’s moments like that in this career I never imagined I’d experience."
Metallica bassist Jason Newsted says he is now “free and clear” after facing throat cancer.
The 63 year old musician, who played with the Enter Sandman legends from 1986 through 2001, has shared details of his diagnosis publicly for the first time. He explained that doctors discovered it early, and on May 8, 2025 he “underwent a procedure” to treat the condition.
Speaking on the Let There Be Talk podcast, he said: “They took a bunch of s*** outta here and then they went in with lasers this way and took a bunch of s*** out.
“So the cavern inside my head is different than it was, but we got it early. And I got my ‘free and clear’ about three weeks ago. So I beat it.”
Jason contributed to several of Metallica’s most iconic releases, including 1988’s ...And Justice For All, their self titled 1991 album, 1996’s Load, the 1997 follow up Reload, and 1998’s Garage Inc.
After going through his cancer experience, the bassist made a point to slow down and actually give himself time to recover instead of constantly pushing forward.
He explained: “I promised myself I was going to rest, and that was the first time I’ve done that in my life.
"I’m usually just on or off. And so I promised myself I was gonna take the gravity off and lay down for the right amount of hours."
The health scare also led Jason to give up smoking weed and drinking alcohol, something he admits he likely would not have done otherwise.
He added: “The great spirit got my attention and said, ‘That’s not good right now, man.’ And so it pulled me off it.
"And so now I’m more clear-headed than I’ve been in my entire adult life. And so there’s blessings within everything. The lemonade I’m making this summer, bro — mm. Sweet. Ooh.”
Jason has previously said that his unexpected departure ultimately helped Metallica continue moving forward, while James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich later admitted they struggled to process his decision at the time.
Lars told Apple Music in 2021: “Jason is the only member of Metallica who has ever left willingly. And that in itself is a statistic.
"And the resentment from James and I was just so… 'You can’t do that. You can only leave if we want you to leave'.
"And then we weren’t equipped at the time to do a deep dive into why he was leaving. So of course, now you can see 20 years later, it makes complete sense.”
