EXCLUSIVE: ROLLING STONES TO SCRAP REMAINDER OF TOUR?
Groovevolt.com has learned exclusively that the Rolling Stones might be forced to scrap the final five dates of the current leg of its Bigger Bang tour.
According to sources who wish to remain anonymous, 63-year-old frontman Mick Jagger continues to have significant problems with his vocal cords, and the band might be forced to scrap its upcoming shows in Las Vegas, Nevada; Nampa, Idaho; Atlantic City, New Jersey; Los Angeles, California; and Vancouver, British Columbia.
Attempts to contact the band’s management prior to press time were unsuccessful.
The band postponed its Atlantic City performance, October 27, several hours before the band was to hit the stage. A woman from Brooklyn, New York, is suing the band for $51 million accusing the group of fraud and in acting in bad faith because of the cancellation.
Earlier this month, the group canceled a November 22 show at Honolulu, Hawaii’s Aloha Stadium and rescheduled the aforementioned Vancouver show from November 3 to November 25. The band also rescheduled its Oakland, California show from Sunday (November 5) to Monday (November 6); the aforementioned Los Angeles show from November 18 to November 22; and a New York City show to November 1 on the advice of Jagger’s doctor.
In August, the band was forced to reschedule several dates in Europe due to Jagger’s throat problems.
