> [@nightshadea](#): > > 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 Nah, I don’t think it’s particularly odd. He has a health issue, and, despite the fact that there’s significant interest among fans as to “what’s wrong?”, it’s a private matter. ---

The owners of the business where I work are all huge Stones fans and are all in the same boat as you, although one of them mentioned purchasing insurance on their plane tickets. ---

> [@Thudlow\_Boink](#): > > How many of you who were around in the 1960s imagined that the Rolling Stones (and Paul McCartney, and various other rock icons) would still be out there doing their thing 50+ years later? My daughter is a stagehand and met Paul McCartney. She nearly swooned! (she is 30). She said he looked like a little old soccer mom, lol. Oddly, she and her friends are GREAT fans of Yoko Ono. Her number one request for Christmas this last year was a CD of Yoko’s latest. If you had ever told me the chances of some youngish people today being fans of the now 80-something woman who ‘broke up the Beatles’, (and the fact Yoko is still alive and kicking) I would have thought you were stark raving mad. ---

My brother and I were just talking about who would be the first to go, Mick or Keith. Also about Bob Dylan, Pete and Roger, Neil Young, Plant and Page, Graham Parker, Van the Man, Lucinda William, Steve Earle. So many of our rock and roll heroes are my Dad’s age. ---

Could be Mick’s heart. News mentioned he may need unspecified surgery. Maybe angioplasty? That would fit with starting the tour in a month. Most people are back at work after a few weeks. ---

that’s what someone said elsewhere it was his heart but it was along the “he needs to detox from too much Viagra” line ---

Keith Richards has seven picks in the SDMB Death Pool, Jagger has only two. I would say he is safe. ---

When I retire, it’ll be because if I’m judging my job against other things I could do to make a living, I really like my job, the fact is there are many, _many_ other things I’d rather be doing if money were no object. Maybe touring and playing his music before big crowds is what Mick really likes doing. ---
