Watch Jimmy Kimmel Join Huey Lewis And The News For "I Want A New Drug"
It's a good thing Huey Lewis And The News chose Jimmy Kimmel Live to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their 1983 breakout Sports with a super-fun version of "I Want A New Drug"—who else on late night TV could've possibly handled those wailing clarinet solos but Kimmel, right?

The special anniversary deluxe edition reissue of Sports, featuring a slew of bonus material (but, thankfully, no Jimmy Kimmel clarinet solos) is out now. Check out last night's "I Want A New Drug" below and feel free to speculate what Patrick Bateman might make of it in the comments.
Update: According to Billboard, Ronnie Wood has apologized for his comments, which apparently weren't representative of the rest of the band. Says Wood: "I heard from [Mick] Jagger; he's going, 'What the hell?! We don't know anything yet!' And I said, 'you know what [the media] are like. I just expressed my personal view; I would love to go into the studio.' Then they took it all wrong... So I have to make a personal apology to the rest of the band. I didn't mean to say things out of line." Bummer.
No, The Rolling Stones aren't embarking on that massive 50th anniversary tour we all got ourselves all worked up—that's coming next year, reportedly. Small consolation, though: according to second guitarist Ronnie Wood, the Stones are scheduled to meet up in a recording studio later this month "to just throw some ideas around." Interpret that how you will.
"It's like working out for the Olympics or something," Wood recently told The Mirror, commenting on the band’s delayed anniversary tour plans. "You've got to go into training. So we're going to go into training."
The Stones' last album A Bigger Bang dropped in late 2005—with tensions between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards (um, did you read his book?) at a reported all-time high… not to mention Keith's ongoing health troubles… it seems more than a little unlikely that we'll be hearing a new Rolling Stones album any time soon. Still, it doesn't hurt to dream, right?
What do you guys think—will we see a proper 50th anniversary tour (or a new album) from The Rolling Stones in the next year? Leave some paw prints on our comments section below.
