Stones postpone tour as Jagger receives medical treatment

I last saw the Stones in 2015. Ain't nothing going to keep these guys from rolling - not anytime soon.

He's 75 years old.

No one should be touring at that age, especially in this genre of music.

Time to hang it up Mick.

I don't think Mick Jagger is the type to sit at home in his bathrobe sipping tea and waiting for the grim reaper. Good on him. Life is to be lived.

Can you imagine if it were 60-year old Madonna? People would be telling grandma to retire and stop dancing around. Even Cher had something to say about this double standard, and managed to include Mick in her reply.

Time is now not on his side. It's all over now, methinks. Thankfully, we can still get our ya yas out listening to the Stones of yore, especially the orgasmic bluesy rock of Mick Taylor and Keef riffing together.

A routine scan found something untoward?

A conscience perhaps, after decades of debauchery, and womanizing? doubt it.

Could be nature finally calling time up? But hey it's only rock n roll.

Sarcasm I am afraid over moralising, pointless or otherwise. I don't mean to be deliberately judgmental, although my comment may appear that way.

I've never got round to picking up a copy Faithfull, I am told Faithfull. is a good read

I did get my hands on a copy of Rich Cohen's “The Sun & The Moon & The Rolling Stones”.

Cohen details Jagger cruelties, also the grotesque, ghastly consequences to the naïve unfortunates involved.

Sorry, I have never been impressed by “celebrity” or any form “celebrity” takes.

If a fan, Cohen's “The Sun & The Moon & The Rolling Stones”. is best left alone. I guess as a fan it is bet to see Jagger in a more favourable light. I am also a shocking cynic.

I have always enjoyed the music especially Exile on Main Street. My father presented me his original vinyl copy on my sixteenth birthday that I have treasured for fourteen years. Yes Life I will be giving that a go too.

You can't always depend on these books. There was 'Jagger' in 1993 that blamed him for everything. People will say anything to sell a book.

That is a really nice jacket Mick is wearing in that photo.

Hope he recovers and the tour is rescheduled.

Is that what they're calling heart-valve replacement surgery these days, "medical treatment"?

A small bump in the road, and off you go?

Here's hoping...
