Rolling Stones' frontman Mick Jagger is reportedly set to have a stent placed in his heart following news of the band's tour delay, per Page Six.
On Monday (April 1), the celebrity gossip outlet reported that the 75-year-old rocker is set to undergo the procedure, which was first reported by Drudge Report, later this week in New York City. Jagger is reportedly in "extraordinary physical condition" and is expected to make a full recovery after the surgery.
"You can be back at work within weeks following the procedure," an insider told the outlet. "But it could be because the health checks are all set into the insurance for the tour. Maybe they're being careful [by pushing back their trek]."
News of the rock icons' postponed dates for the North American leg of their international"No Filter Tour," which was set to kick off on April 20 in Miami and run until July 29 at Canada’s Burl’s Creek Event Grounds, hit the blogosphere over the weekend.
"I’m so sorry to all our fans in America & Canada with tickets. I really hate letting you down like this," Jaggersaid in a statement. "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."
The full list of rescheduled dates include two Chicago dates, Soldier Field (June 21 and 25).
Attendees are been advised to hold onto their existing tickets as they will be valid for the rescheduled dates.
