A shame but I think he’ll be ok. After all, time is on his side. ---

Man, he does not look good. He’s approaching ‘Keith Richards’ bad. ---

Dude’s 75, after all. We’re pretty much schedule to lose all the boomer music icons any day now. I don’t wish him ill but people do retire in their 60s for a reason. ---

I’ve had him in my local bar’s death pool starting last year. ---

Better he takes care of himself and gets some rest/treatment rather than end up like Prince and Tom Petty, don’t you think? ---

Wonder if the doc saw something in the pre-tour insurance physical or something like that. Get well soon, Mick! ---

Fingers crossed. Doctors say Mick should have a full recovery. ---

Doesn’t he also have a biological child that’s younger than at least one of his great-grandchildren? (yeeeesht) Get well soon, Mick. ---

> [@panache45](#): > > I’m 73. Dude looks 10-15 years older than me. > > Make that 15-20. Yeah, Mick looks older than 75. My parents and most of their friends/sibling are almost 75 and they look way better than he does. ---

I bought very expensive tickets to his concert in another city and got an email from Ticketmaster that “The Rolling Stones have announced the postponement of their No Filter Tour. The promoter is working on rescheduling your show now.” Well that’s a problem because I have already purchased airline tickets (non-refundable) and TPTB at Ticketmaster are telling me that they have no obligation to refund my money if they offer tickets for a postponed concert. ---

> [@Gatopescado](#): > > Man, he does not look good. He’s approaching ‘Keith Richards’ bad. I dunno. Keith has looked like this since he’s been 28 and keeps going strong. All the best to Mick! ---

Just a thought: has it ever happened that the Stones cancelled a tour in all these years? I don’t think so. It really must be a serious issue. ---

what’s odd is there not saying what’s wrong ……its either something mick would be embarrassed about ie age related or its really serious and they don’t want the whole “micks on his last legs” for the tour ---

I read the title as “Mick’s bad breath” and thought that it must be _really_ bad. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/rolling-stones-cancel-tour-due-to-micks-bad-health/831779.md?page=2)
