Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger has turned his hand to drama, helping create a show about the music business in 1970s New York.
Vinyl is seen through the eyes of record label president Richie Finestra (Bobby Cannavale) as he battles to save his company.
It is described as a "ride through the sex and drug-addled music business at the dawn of punk, disco, and hip-hop".
It has been created by Jagger, Martin Scorsese and Terence Winter and also stars Olivia Wilde, Ray Romano, Ato Essandoh, Max Casella, PJ Byrne, JC MacKenzie, Birgitte Hjort Sørensen, Juno Temple, Jack Quaid, James Jagger and Paul Ben-Victor.
Speaking to Sky News at the show's New York premiere, Jagger said the era provided plenty of inspiration.
"It was a really interesting time in New York, it was a very interesting time everywhere," he said.
"There were a lot of different things going on, a lot of different kinds of music being made, a lot of boundaries being broken, a lot of great films being made."
He added: "It had a lot of richness in that period. But we flash forward and we flash back.
"So I think in this series if it continues, which I hope it does, you're going to see other periods come into it."
:: Vinyl will air on Sky Atlantic at 2am on 15 February, with a repeat at 9pm.
