Mick Jagger contracted Covid in the midst of the SIXTY tour of the eternal Rolling Stones, currently underway in Europe. The British band announced it on its social media profiles, specifying that the concert scheduled for tonight at the Johan Cruijff Arena in Amsterdam has been cancelled and will be postponed to a date to be determined.
According to the note, there do not appear to be any particular alarms for Sir Mick, who will turn 79 at the end of July, and who in any case appears to have manifested some symptoms upon arrival today in the Dutch city. "The Rolling Stones - the note reads - are deeply sorry for the postponement of this evening, but the safety of the audience, musicians and crew must be a priority. The show will be rescheduled for a later date, tickets will be valid for that date, stay tuned for details".
The SIXTY tour, the Stones' first tour after the restrictions of the pandemic and after the death last year of their historic drummer, Charlie Watts, includes 14 concerts in 10 different countries. The first British stop was last week at the Anfield football stadium in Liverpool, the birthplace of the Beatles, their great rivals in the roaring years of rock, where the band now composed - together with Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood - also of the African-American drummer Steve Jordan replacing Watts paid homage to the Fab Four by performing one of their songs. And it will be followed in the middle of summer by two concert events included in the spectacular setting of the BTS festival in Hyde Park, London.
