Mick Jagger OK Stones tour is back on track! (1 Viewer)

My dad had heart valve replacement surgery at 80 and lived another 13 years.   He wasn't doing rock and roll tour though.

 
My wife, the Stones expert and fanatic, said expect 3-6 month delay on the tour.
based on what?

I will contend the doctors will strongly recommend him calling it a day even if he gets to the point of thinking he is recovered and thinks he can go out.  It was a good run.

How strenuous do you think a rock and roll tour is these days for the Stones? Stay in a centrally located place - fly in private jet to city - ride in limo to site. Get dressed - do show and fly back in luxury. Maybe if you're up for it pop a little Viagra and relive some of the old days with the ladies. These guys have a shot at going to 100.

Based upon previous health issues with that band.

Get dressed - do show where you don't stop dancing, running, climbing, etc. for 2 plus hours if you're Mick Jagger and fly back in luxury.

I added some details.

And has been running, jumping and dancing for 50 years. I would expect that he’s probably in better shape than most of you. 

He’ll be back soon and feeling better than he has in a while. 

 
From the article you cited:

Jagger will need to rest after completing the transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), sources say. The minimally invasive procedure allowed Jagger to avoid major surgery — doctors were able to repair the heart valve using a catheter that accesses a major artery without opening the chest.
I had my aortic valve replaced via open heart surgery almost 7 years ago. Realistically. that's a two month recovery time (at least it was for me), with a few weeks of cardiac rehab after that. If I've had that done, as someone would've been almost 30 years younger, I could've recovered in that same time frame.

Given his cardio workouts he gets from each show, a July return to form is very achievable.

 
He is still 75.  You cannot out run that, you cannot out train that.  Any health scare is a major one.

I hope he comes back as he is a rock God but my realistic view is this is the end.  Incredible run.
Good grief, you make it sound like he belongs in a darn home for the aged. :rolleyes:   Given his cardio (and probably general) fitness level, he can be back in the saddle almost immediately.  Since he had his aortic valve replaced like I did (see above), the fact that they did not have to break his sternum and cut open his chest is HUGE. Not only is he not as torn up physically, he'll be able to recover quicker even given his age and physical condition.

Dude I hope to see it but I guess we will find out one way or another.   The only 70 year old I know that is close to that active is my retired marine neighbor.  Everyone else including my folks would be down for the count for a while.   I know its not apples to apples but 75 is 75.

 
I’m talking rock gods.  It is over.  
Springsteen turns seventy at the end of September. He seems to possess that same type of constitution that Mick does. He did a one-man show on Broadway that set box-office records. He has an album coming out, and hopefully he calls up Little Stevie and Max, and they get out on the road again. 

 
I hope they can make it out on tour again. Wishing Mick a speedy recovery. 

As for my wife and I personally, this was a double hit. We had tickets to see them at Jazzfest for the 50th anniversary. That show won’t get rescheduled. 

And at our Chance for Hope benefit last night, we had four tickets to the Houston show in our live auction. Would have gone for $3000 minimum, probably higher. Even with the promise to reschedule, there was just too much uncertainty and we had to scratch the item. That was a bummer.

 
Latest rumors are that they are having trouble rebooking the football stadiums in the latter part of this year (no surprise) so the whole tour may be put off until 2020.

 
Where did you hear this? I'm not seeing any confirmation on Google or Twitter or iorr.org.
I put a link in the original post. But it was from the Daily Mail. And you are right, I a not seeing it anywhere else
I suspect a bit of tabloid journalism in effect here.

From that link: "Fans have been told their tickets will be valid for rescheduled dates"
