Stones to rock Homer Simpson's world

Rolling Stones Mick Jagger and Keith Richards will give Homer a few lessons in rock ’n’ roll when they star in a new episode of The Simpsons later this year.

The veteran rockers will team up with musicians Lenny Kravitz, Elvis Costello and Tom Petty in the show, which is due to be screened in November in the States.

Homer meets the Rolling Stones, who launched their new world tour in Boston, Massachussetts last week, when he attends a rock ’n’ roll fantasy camp.

Former Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, as well as Welsh crooner TOM JONES have all previously appeared in episodes of the Simpsons.
