Can you imagine a Stones concert without Mick Jagger prancing all over the stage? Can you imagine a 75 year old with a recent heart valve replacement doing that? I can’t. I merely had a stent implant three years ago, and I’m damned careful to not stress my heart too much and keep a healthy pulse. ---

I guess Mick’s shirtless days are over. Unless he can make that big scar down his chest, RockNRoll. Mick has done an impressive job staying in shape this long. ---

Nah, I think Mick stopped going shirtless at least 35 years ago. The only one who still does it is Iggy, and he looks like Keith’s grandma nowadays. ---

> [@FoieGrasIsEvil](#): > > 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. I was able to get a refund from Ticketmaster & the hotel. Not having much luck with United Airlines though. Never thought to buy insurance, but that would have been useful. ---

My gf is going to NOLA for a week with some friends, and they plan on spending one day at JazzFest. They had to choose between the day the Stones were performing and another day. My gf suggested (and they all agreed) to skip the Stones’ crowd. Looks like they made the right choice. ---

> [@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? Definitely not me. Especially since since so many OD’ed or died in transit. Frankly, it is a bit ridiculous to be singing that you can’t get no satisfaction when you are seriously geriatric, and it’s not just Mick. Remember Pete Townsend’s anthem; “I hope I die before I get old?” Yeah, well what happened, Pete? Second thoughts? ---

> [@Enola\_Gay](#): > > “The Rolling Stones have announced the postponement of their No Filter Tour. The promoter is working on rescheduling your show now.” Wait, it wasn’t called the “Cancel Tour”? After all the thread title _was_ “Rolling Stone’s cancel tour”, and I really did misread it for a second due to the apostrophe. ---

Mick had his valve replacement surgery. They used the less invasive method through an artery. It’s being reported as a success and Mick is doing well. [https://www.google.com/amp/s/people.com/music/mick-jagger-heart-valve-replacement-surgery/amp/](https://www.google.com/amp/s/people.com/music/mick-jagger-heart-valve-replacement-surgery/amp/) Seeing Mick back, strutting on stage will be even more special this year.
