An official band statement added that, “Mick Jagger 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.”
Tickets for The Rolling Stones’ US tour will remain valid for rescheduled dates that will be announced “shortly”.
