Your support makes all the difference.The Rolling Stones have postponed their latest tour of the US and Canada so that Mick Jagger can receive medical treatment.
The band announced on Saturday that Jagger was told by doctors “he cannot go on tour at this time”.
Jagger, 75, “is expected to make a complete recovery so that he can get back on stage as soon as possible,” the group added.
The singer-songwriter tweeted: “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. I’m so sorry to all our fans in America and Canada with tickets. I really hate letting you down like this.”
The Stones’ 17 concert No Filter Tour was expected to start on 20 April in Miami and end on 29 June in Oro-Medonte, Ontario. It officially started in September 2017 with a concert in Hamburg, Germany.
Tour promoters AEG Presents and Concerts West advise fans to hold on to their existing tickets because they will be valid for the rescheduled dates.
The Stones have had to cancel sell-out concerts in the past, like in Las Vegas in 2016, when Jagger contracted laryngitis.
