The Rolling Stones today announced that their upcoming tour is being postponed due to Mick Jagger needing medical treatment. The Rolling Stones No Filter Tour was supposed to kick-off in Miami on April 20th.
“Unfortunately today the Rolling Stones have had to announce the postponement of their upcoming US / Canada tour dates,” the band said in a statement. “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,” they added. “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 Jagger himself added: “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 the road as soon as I can. Once again, huge apologies to everyone.”
While fans will have to wait a bit longer, they can enjoy the massive Honk compilation album in the meantime. Various versions of the album will be available on April 19th.
