Yeah, and they should predict bad weather too and arrange the gigs so they won't coincide with football games on TV and so on.
Let's be serious! Booking a tight touring schedule means it's the only way it could be: think of the people involved here, the venues which can be booked for other events, agencies, traveling. It's not like the Stone say "we'll play London tonight and then go on after three days" and it happens. These have probably been arranged months before, so, you think Mick should have predicted he would have gone sick and exactly the amount of days he WOULD be sick? Come on!
Also, I'd like to have seen the same "we pay the money"-kind sensitities regarding money when tickets prices - at least for American tickets - were incredibly high. But then most people commented in the likes of "get the money if you can or don't see the Stones otherwise".
I'm just suggesting a little logic here. It's not like they're cancelling the gigs cause they want to go for holidays, the man can't sing here, what is he supposed to do? When you're booking tickets for gigs abroad as a fan, you're facing certain risks, one of which is a cancellation or postponing of the show, there's no guarantee to that, so it's a risk you take knowingly. |

This is BAD news. Just seen an article on nme.com about it. Not Good.

For those of you stuck in London this weekend with no gig to go to, a suggestion might be the Metro Club on Tottenham Court Road.
There is a class act on there called Cobra, not well known yet, but if you like the stones, you'll love these boys!
I appreciate this in no way make amends for this tragic incident and I as much as anyone hope Mick is back on his feet (so to speak) asap.
I'm just throwing an idea for something to do in the ring, thats all.

I'm sorry for all my fellow Stones fans. This really is a hard pill to swallow, esp. for folks coming from far away for these shows.

1. Add a smack of Jagger's lips
2. Add a pinch of Jagger's bum
3. Throw in a loving cup of Keith's swagger

According to the news Sir Mick Jagger has to rest for a further two days as he has the flu. He promises he'll be OK for Sunday at Twickenham (thanks Mick 'cos I'm going that day). The Stones agent was live by phone on the 1 p.m. news on Sky TV and said Mick Jagger has the flu and will be fine - he confirmed that Mick Jagger is fitter than most people (you only have to see him onstage to see that). The agent added that Mick Jagger takes less days off sick from work than most people do!!!!! |

Stones Twickenham Gig Off
The first night of the Rolling Stones' UK tour has been postponed after front man Mick Jagger was struck down by flu.The Twickenham gig has been resheduled for September 20 but Sunday's show at the same venue is still expected to go ahead, his representatives said."The doctors tell me that I must have two more days rest - and after that I will be completely recovered and ready for a full-on stadium show on Sunday," promised Jagger.
It means disappointment for 50,000 fans after doctors ordered the Stones' legend to rest his voice for two days.
Doctors told the Stones frontman he must rest his voice if he was to make a complete recovery in time for Sunday's concert.
"The Stones were looking forward to opening in the UK - for their hometown audience - with all guns blazing," said tour promoter Michael Cohl.
"We're sorry to disappoint the fans who were coming on Saturday."
The concert's promoters had hoped to reschedule the postponed show for next week but Twickenham stadium was not available.
Tickets issued for Saturday's event will be valid for the rescheduled performance.
The Rolling Stones are currently on their sell-out 40th anniversary "Licks" world tour.
It marks four decades since an embryonic version of the group first wowed blues fans at London's Marquee Club in the 1960s.
The 11-date British leg is the finale of the 101-date global tour

If they hadn't wasted two whole months in Japan / Germany his health would be perfect . The UK gets screwed every single tour .
Really , they should go the route of THE WHO and play the U.S. and the U.K. EXCLUSIVELY -- Much easier on your constitution .

My guess is that by this time tomorrow, the Sunday show is dinged as well.
I think the Eagles are behind this. |

What a night mare. First a freind and I travel to China from our island home and arrive about 24 hours beforethe first Hong Kpng cancellation, and watched our dreosm go upiin smoke as all the shows there were cancelled.
Now we have flown half way around the world to London arriving Thursday night. My ftreind has to leave on Monday. I am dreading hearing that Sunday will postpone also. |

Holy CRAP!!!! I just got back from a trip to Cleveland (note to self....Jeff Beck is a GOD) and heard the news about Mick. Get well!, by the way!
I think there is nothing more disappointing than missing out on a long awaited and anticipated concert...I've been there. Hang in, as best you can. Enjoy London, each other and travel safely.
I'm sending my support and love especially to those of you who are traveling a long distance to see this show . That's a hard hit to the wallet...and to the heart.
Hang in there!
I am now thinking of how many times I've been sick in the past several months. Yikes! Mick is exceptional. I would have been cancelling a lot more often and I'm just 45.
We are very lucky to have these War Horses in such good health at their ages. Keep that in mind.
Yet, nothing can quell the disappointment of missing a show no matter what the cause.
I'm sending cyber-hugs to all concerned.
