Rolling Stones rocker Mick Jagger is set to have a stent placed in his heart followingthe bandโs tour postponement, Page Six has learned.
โYou can be back at work within weeksโ following the procedure, a source tells us. โBut it could be because the health checks are all set into the insurance for the tour, maybe theyโre being carefulโ by postponing the tour.
According to Drudge Report, who first reported Jagger would undergo surgery, the procedure will take place in New York City this week and the 75-year-old Stones frontman is expected to make a full recovery. Sources told the site Jagger is in โextraordinary physical condition.โ
A rep for Jagger did not immediately return Page Sixโs request for comment.
The bandโs North American โNo Filterโ tour, which was set to kick off in a few weeks, was postponed after Jagger was diagnosed with an undisclosed illness.
โMick has been advised by doctors that he cannot go on tour at this time, as he needs medical treatment,โ the Stones said in a statement over the weekend.
A source told Page Six at the time, โThis is not a serious thingโ and the band was already in the process of rebooking the tour dates.
โI really hate letting you down like this,โ Jagger said in a statement. โIโm 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.โ
