Mick Jagger to Undergo Heart Valve Replacement Surgery

Mick Jagger is set to undergo heart valve replacement surgery this week in New York City, according to the Drudge Report. The news comes two days after the Rolling Stones postponed their North American tour due to then-unspecified concerns about Jagger’s heath.

“I’m devastated for having to postpone the tour, but I will be working very hard to be back on stage as soon as I can,” Jagger wrote on Twitter after the postponement was announced. “Once again, huge apologies to everyone.”

According to Drudge, the procedure has a 95 percent success rate, and Jagger plans be able to perform again by this summer. The tour was scheduled to begin April 20 in Miami and end June 29 in Ontario. No makeup dates have been announced, though fans have been told to hold onto their tickets.

As for how or why the news broke on the Drudge Report, we’re as baffled as you are, though it’s perhaps worth noting that Jagger was spotted Sunday in Miami, where Drudge is based.

Well, up until now, Mick has seemed to be in very good health for his age, so hopefully that will help his recovery, but I'm just a little bit skeptical that he's going to be running around a huge stage by summer.

Get well soon, man!

If he was in his 30s maybe but at 76??

I know he is crazy fit for his age but I don't see it.

The sternotomy alone is going to slow him down.

We have tickets for the Seattle show. Funny. I saw The Stones in 81 thinking I better see them then because they were starting to look old and might not be touring in the future. Mick moved around on stage pretty damn well for his age and he didn't sound winded when he was singing. Mick Jager has nothing more to prove. Hope he recovers and still can do his thing. Usually what they do with people his age is they put a pig valve in. My dad did pretty well with one.

Maybe Mick will sing Jump Pig Jack Flash when he is back on stage then.

What's funny is after my dad has surgery he gets a bill from a farmer for the pig the valve came out of. They raise special pigs just for the valves and my dad is like going ok I bought a whole pig. Where's the ham. Where's the bacon? The pig valves last for about ten years, My dad never had problems with his and passed away 13 years after his was put in. The advantage of having the pig valve is you don't have to take blood thinners. You do if you get an artificial valve and there can be other complications. The artificial valves last longer than the pig valves so they tend to put those in younger patients and pig valves in the older patients.

Well Keef said he finally gave up drinking this year. Good to know Keef is looking after his health. Haha!

He quit cigarettes too. And said they were harder to kick than heroin. Not the first time I've heard that, so I believe him.

Well, Keith's definition of "quitting drinking" might be a little different than the literal one.... if I remember correctly, he actually said that he still has the occasional beer or glass of wine, but gave up the hard stuff. On balance, that's probably the healthiest decision, since moderate alcohol use actually has some health benefits, especially red wine.

In other words Kieth cut his drinking down which is fine. He's probably not an alcoholic. Some people just like to drink but their body isn't chemically addicted to it. I don't drink much anymore. There is nothing more lame than seeing a bunch of drunk 50 somethings acting like they are still in high school or college. I always viewed being a drunk idiot a young person's game. Once you get older and have kids you need to be an example to it's time to cut that shit loose.

My Friend just saw them in Houston- said it was outstanding. Me? I got to see Alice Cooper this weekend and Rob Zombie and Manson last week.
Good shows no doubt, but I would trade all that and then some for a Stones show.
