The Rolling Stones have been forced to postpone the entirety of their upcoming North American “No Filter” tour. The band announced the news on Saturday morning in a statement on their website and social media pages, citing frontman Mick Jagger’s medical needs as the reason for the postponement.
“Mick has been advised by doctors that he cannot go on tour at this time, as he needs medical treatment,” the note reads, after apologizing to ticket holders for the inconvenience. “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 himself also provides an apology, writing, “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.”
The postponement includes The Rolling Stones’ previously scheduled debut at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on May 2, the second Thursday of this year’s 50th Jazz Fest celebration. Festival organizers released their own statement today, noting that an updated lineup for that day will be released soon, along with information on ticket refunds.

April 1, 2019 at 10:58 amHey RP, thats fuckin’ funny man ! Two birds with one ($800 ticket) Stone,…..it was time to tell’em both to fuck off. Love Stones, saw’em at every tour, starting to get really long in the tooth now, to be honest, because haven’t evolved at all. It’s the setlists, and generally laziness, that gets me. JJ Flash, Start Me Up, Brown Sugar, Honty-Tonk, IORR, Satisfaction, and UGH: MISS YOU. Just switch it up, and cut your prices in half, play for more than the 1hr 58 min.

April 1, 2019 at 8:44 amHey, lay off JAGGERRICH, he’s good people and tells it the way it is. I love the Stones and made tremendous efforts to travel and see them in ’81 (and stuck with an extra ticket in Philadelphia nobody wanted), ’89, ’99, ’02. When a girlfriend begged me to take her in ’12 and the band wanted $800 per, it was time to tell both of them to fuckoff…

March 31, 2019 at 7:46 pmtoo funny cocksucker Nick (180th alias ‘ago’) and now Christine. More funny, picks a common female name, and leaves it at that for his sick alter-ego’s random thought at the time, after hibernating this last part of winter in adoptive parents basement. Wow, still as yet, has never offered a comment (positive OR OTHERWISE) on ‘any’ subjest here. At least some of the others who pistol whip the interns if they make a slight oversight on some crappy setlist from the Disco Biscuits or such, well at least those herpe’d trolls achieve something, by adding to , or correcting (sigh) a posting. NO MAGA HAT here, Nick thah Dick/Chrissie et al. of your 5 post flourish spanning 10 ten minutes. I abhor the conman lying megalomaniac buffoon.
P.S> The “Jerry Hall / Rupert Murdoch’s” were funny! Jaggs et al give Zero updates, since initial bare bones announcement Saturday morning,………. after $100 mill + has been advanced @ sick seat prices to his account, four months ago….. flights, hotels. air BNB’s, holidays taken from work, etc. etc. etc. Not as feckless as Nick + the hundred other handles, w/ Christine being the funniest of all.

March 31, 2019 at 3:23 pmYou never get rid of the herpes, Mick. Little bugger is bound to flare up from time to time. Should have bagged it when you had the chance. Best of luck!

March 31, 2019 at 3:05 pmRight? Plus, you gotta love his claim that we offer “no comments other than negative ones about prior posters/postings.” LOL!!! Precious on at least two levels. The first, obvio ;), but the second is a little surprising, to be sure. He still believes in a “Nick” who periodically descends on this carcass for anyone other than him. Nope, just you, babe. Always just you. xoxo

GO FUCK YERSELF, J-A-G-G-E-R-R-I-C-H. aND STOP USING MICK’S NAME IN ANY OF YOUR MANY HANDLES. YOU ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO DO THIS. DO YOU UNDERSTAND? PLEASE WRITE BACK SETTING THINGS STRAIGHT!

March 31, 2019 at 11:08 amLOL. Seriously though, quite peculiar when somebody reads a JB’s post, goes through the motions of making up a new handle, puts in their email address, clicks on “I am not a robot”, might have to pick through stupid pictures of storefronts, or cars, or street lights, and then as always offers no comments other than negative ones about prior posters/postings. Head scratchers.
Back to the news: it’s a shit show all right. They are so unorganized, refunds not even offered, Air Flights, hotels, packages, etc. by the hundred thousands for this Stadium Tour all need to be cancelled, or changed. What a shit show, not least of which is the general money-grab for $1000 VIP pit SRO tix at these various venues, for a 1 hour and 59 minute show, with about 12 or 13 of the 19 tunes played, all being the tired and staid warhorses that NEVER CHANGE. JESUS

March 30, 2019 at 7:39 pmyes, it’s the first time in oh, about 54 years that they have a shit show like this on their hands. No Dicky Betts-like shenanigans here, it’s a first. So glad i hadn’t bought any tix (yet) for Burl’s Creek, and Miami. Weird that it’s Mick though, he’s the last of the “core four” that I’d think would be unable to go.
