The album, whose title refers to broken glass after a robbery, will be the first since Watts' death in August 2021.
Watts, the Stones' original drummer, plays on two of the album's 12 tracks.
“I don’t want to be big-headed, but we wouldn’t have put this album out if we hadn’t really liked it," he said.
