Mick Jagger Heading to Heart Surgery

Sir Mick Jagger will be undergoing heart valve replacement surgery this week.

In a statement posted to their official Twitter account last Saturday, 30 March, the Rolling Stones – of which the 75-year-old singer is the frontman – announced that it would be postponing its nine-week “No Filter” tour.

The band explained: “Mick Jagger has been advised by doctors that he cannot go on tour at this time as he needs medical treatment … he is expected to make a complete recovery so that he can get back on stage as soon as possible.”

Follow-up reports determined that the “Lucky in Love” hitmaker will be undergoing an operation to replace a damaged heart valve this Friday, 5 April, at an unidentified hospital in New York. The surgery is believed to have a 95% success rate.

Jagger – who is well known for following a strict fitness regime – promised his fans via Twitter that he’ll be “working very hard” on his recovery so that he can return to the stage.
