March 31 – Jagger needs medical treatment – tourstart postponed
=> Meanwhile, Little Steven has some news for us: He tweets “I’ve been told by someone who knows that Mick Jagger’s ailment is thankfully temporary and insignificant. The Rolling Stones’ immortal endurance continues to inspire all of us! Meanwhile, catch my interview with Keith on YouTube this week.”
=> Scheduled to start on April 20 in Miami Gardens, Florida, the tour is postponed due to singer Mick’s health problems! The band tweets:
“Unfortunately today the Rolling Stones have had to announce the postponement of their upcoming US / Canada tour dates – we apologise for any inconvenience this causes those who have tickets to shows but wish to reassure fans to hold onto these existing tickets, as they will be valid for the rescheduled dates, which will be announced shortly.
Mick has been advised by doctors that he cannot go on tour at this time, as he needs medical treatment. The doctors have advised Mick that he is expected to make a complete recovery so that he can get back on stage as soon as possible.“.
Mick himself, also apologises:
“I’m so sorry to all our fans in America & Canada with tickets. I really hate letting you down like this. I’m devastated for having to postpone the tour but I will be working very hard to be back on stage as soon as I can. Once again, huge apologies to everyone.“.
Ronni tweets: “We’ll miss you over the next few weeks, but we’re looking forward to seeing you all again very soon. Here’s to Mick(strength) ~ thanks for your supportive messages it means so much to us”
Keith, too, says: “A big disappointment for everyone but things need to be taken care of and we will see you soon. Mick, we are always there for you!”
Someone ‘close to the band‘ according to pagesix.com said, that during the usual pre-tour check-up docors found something that required ‘immediate attention’. With the tourstart 20 days away, I don’t think it can be just some case of larygitis, as has happened before. The source also mentioned, that it was not something serious and that – most important to all of us, Mick would make a complete recovery. So, speculations fly … maybe something like a hip replacement or something? Whatever it is, Mick, all of us wish you a quick and sound recovery!!!!
WOAH, folks – that came out of the blue for us! Get well soon, Mick!
