A Band that is prepared to charge $5000 for a book certainly doesn't give two shits about a show fans have paid hundreds of dollars to go and see. On Fire Indeed! Let the show go on and use the backups if you have to.

I gotta think there's a whole boatload of people, me amongst them that would feel we lucked into the best concert opportunity in years...and even more people who would take that over a cancellation...

To paraphrase Lady Jane...

"We need a fucking tour (or at least a good leg)...without a glitch!!

Jagger better consider remodeling the future tours. Not just for Plab Bs and such...but to
take it down a notch...all the traveling...the venues...the songs...they do seem to be taking their toll a bit. Flying around alone tears the throat up. At his age, all those antibiotics are also not good for him...Jagger does not strike me as the homeopathic herb and tincture type.

Large theater residencies would be a great solution...the reduction of overhead alone would make gobs of money for the poor ole Stones

MICK has a big job delivering powerful lyrics. Bernard could carry the vocals flawlessly, but the fans aren't there to see Bernard and Lisa, they want MICK and the boys. However the band should consider highlighting them more to relieve some stress for MICK. Adding Mick T and Keef's vocals would be cool, but Ronnie's voice is rough. They could also increase KEEFs set to 3 songs, which only happened once that I can recall. I think the fans would enjoy that, but for MICK to give that up will be a big step in admitting he isn't as good as he used to be. A tough pill to swallow.

You are correct. A couple in August 2006. Just before they played the UK dates.

Also happened in August 2003 - they were due to play back to back nights in Amsterdam, then after a day off, back to back nights in London. Mick got sick in Amsterdam and the second Amsterdam show and the first London had to be rescheduled to a month later. It was at this point that Mick was advised never to sing two nights in a row again. (So, a pair of back to back shows at Wembley Arena for Sept 14 & 15 were changed to 13th and 15th).

There were a few shows pulled in June 1998 too. The European tour had already been postponed for a few weeks after Keith cracked ribs falling off a bookcase, and then when the tour did start, Mick developed throat problems and a couple of shows (Italy and Spain I think) were cancelled.

The No Security tour in early 1999 also had shows rescheduled due to Mick developing voice problems early on. Shows in San Jose had to be rescheduled to the end of the tour.

And the "Live at the 10 Spot" MTV special in October 1997 had to be rescheduled as Mick had a throat problem. MTV got David Bowie to perform on the date the Stones were due to play instead.

Sick Mick touches down in Sydney but will he be well enough to perform on Wednesday?

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH NOVEMBER 10, 2014 10:11AM

A private jet carrying the band touched down in Sydney shortly after 6pm from Melbourne giving fans the first glimpse of the band ahead of the week’s concert.

A question mark is hanging over The Rolling Stones Sydney concert, with a source close to the band revealing Mick Jagger is still recovering from a serious throat infection. It will be a nervous wait for rock n’roll fans ahead of Wednesday night’s scheduled show, after the cancellation of a Rolling Stones concert in Victoria last week because of Jagger’s ill-health.

While Frontier Touring is yet to release an official statement on Jagger’s health, a source close to the band said the rockers were keen to get up to settle in to their Sydney hotel so Jagger could continue “resting for the next couple of days”.

It is a sign that Jagger’s illness may yet affect other planned shows on the tour, although the revered band is trying everything to avoid another cancellation because of the loyalty shown by their fans.

The source close to the band said the throat problem had also affected a number of people working with The Rolling Stones.

“It’s going around the touring party,” he said. But, of course, only one man is expected to sing on centre stage. Jagger, 71, has been steadfastly taking doctors advice so he can be in full voice for the next show.

Despite the rave reviews for their other concerts, Jagger’s health issue tops off what has been a particularly tough year for the Stones in relation to their Australian tour. The entire tour was postponed in March after the death of Jagger’s girlfriend L’Wren Scott.

The cancellation of the band’s scheduled Hanging Rock performance last week was accompanied by a statement from The Rolling Stones which said they were “incredibly disappointed ... but left with no other option”.
