Sir Mick Jagger has revealed he is in need of ‘medical treatment’ forcing The Rolling Stones to postpone their upcoming tour.
A statement from the group said: ‘Unfortunately today the Rolling Stones have had to announcement the postponement of their upcoming US/Canada tour dates.
‘We apologise for any inconvenience this causes those who have tickets to shows but wish to reassure fans to hold onto these existing tickets, as they will be valid for rescheduled dates, which will be announced shortly.
