Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood have both issued statements after the Rolling Stones postponed their 2019 dates because Mick Jagger needs to undergo heart surgery.
Jagger will undergo heart surgery this week to replace a valve in his heart. In most cases, people who have this operation return to normal health in around three months.
Keith Richards tweeted, “A big disappointment for everyone but things need to be taken care of and we will see you soon. Mick, we are always there for you!”
