Mick Jagger Postpones Tour To Have Stent Put In

Pearlee — Mon, 01 Apr 2019 23:16:29 GMT

The rock and rollers of my youth are now senior citizens.

Mick Jagger will be having a stent put in his heart in NYC and therefore had to postpone his tour. From Page Six of the NY Post:

"Rolling Stones rocker Mick Jagger is set to have a stent placed in his heart following the band's tour postponement Page Six has learned.

“You can be back at work within weeks” following the procedure, a source tells us. “But it could be because the health checks are all set into the insurance for the tour, maybe they’re being careful” by postponing the tour."

More to the article in the NY Post - check it online if interested.

The man is elderly...75 years old. I am surprised he has not dropped dead on stage before now. He should retire...write a book....back a movie made on his life....and stop with the tours. Enough is enough.

From rollingstone.com

Mick Jagger will undergo surgery to replace a valve in his heart, Rolling Stone confirmed. As a result of the procedure and recovery period, the Rolling Stones postponed the North American leg of their No Filter tour, which ran from April 20th to July 29th.

When the postponement was initially announced, a rep for the band said, “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.”

Jagger said in a statement, “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.”

Drudge Report first reported news of the heart valve surgery, adding that the procedure will take place Friday in New York and that Jagger is expected to make a full recovery and return to touring this summer. Despite the impending procedure, paparazzi caught Jagger in good spirits Sunday when the singer and his family visited Miami.

Ronnie Wood tweeted following the postponement, “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 ~ thanks for your supportive messages it means so much to us.”

Keith Richards added, “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!”

@SeaMaiden @I have seen all his tours and while he does give a great show - even at his age - tend to agree maybe he should take it easier but I’ll bet he will be out on postponed tour - which I do have tickets for - but would hate to see him collapse on stage!

I guess then Tony Bennett (93) who regularly performs, and Betty White (97) who regularly makes appearances should also retire.

Who else should step off stage and retire? At what age should an entertainer retire.

There are many much younger entertainers I would like to see retire now, some not yet 30.

All that rockin' and rollin' and shackin' is good for the heart, but it can't totally counteract all the smokin' and drinkin' and druggin'...so maybe it's a wash!

Definitely not McCartney! He's going (or is) on tour also. Someone asked me if I was interested in seeing him (again) in Las Vegas. His voice isn't quite as good as in his Beatles days, but still great and his concert is fantastic! It's over 3 hrs. - talk about getting your money's worth. The guy doesn't want to leave the stage (and no opening act). I'd like to see him the most of anyone performing, no matter what their age. He's at the top of my list at almost 77 years of age (in June). "She loves him, yeah, yeah, yeah yeaaaaaaah!"

@SeaMaiden - The man is in better shape than many half his age.

But perhaps we should just have people put down or confined, when they reach a certain age, if they don't have enough sense to retire? How dare he carry on being active and doing what he loves!

And aren't people stupid buying all those tickets to the concerts!

I think it is a valve replacement. DH had one at 75 too. He has a pig valve in place and it has worked out fine. I wish Mick well.

Mick was photographed playing on the beach in Miami with his two year old son, Devereaux. Two years old? No wonder Mick's about to have a heart attack! LOL

I guarantee my man Mick will be back and jumpin’ around he always gives 100 percent and I am sure he will only tour again if he can do this - he will return! Yahoo!

I wish Mick well!!!!

The Stones have all lived life to the fullest and are still touring!!!! Obviously some posters have never seen Mick on stage for 90+ minutes moving all over the stage. And, not every person is elderly at 75!

Never was a MJ fan, but it doesn't surprise me he seems to have to work at his age, to enjoy life. I think it's sad the way the people who make money from Betty White, trot her out in public and pretend like she knows what she's doing. Tony Bennett is not quite as bad yet, but I don't know what these elders are trying to prove. IMO 75 is elderly, it doesn't mean you can't enjoy life, but you don't have to be in denial about your stage in life either.

I have seen him on stage and he is a gifted talent. I highly doubt he is trying to prove anything but live his life as he sees fit. I would give anything to be able to move around the way that Mick still does. I feel like when I watch him in concert, I can live vicariously through him.

Our own John Hckynut,who posts on this board, continues to ice skate even though he is in his late 70's. His enthusiasm for moving around and exercising really inspires me as does Mick Jagger.

@Trinity11 I agree with your comments. When you see the Stones live and see the way Mick works the ramps and stages he is doing what he loves - does not have to prove anything I believe he loves his offstage life and loves his tours and I, just one among hundreds, love to see him and the band.

I always come away from any good live show - and I go a lot - feeling happy not thinking how old the performers are but how great they are.

So you see it works both ways this senior gets a big lift from watching other seniors who can still perform 100 percent. Big plus I stand and dance all night - cannot sit when Mick on - so getting good exercise too!
