The Stones postponed two gigs in Amsterdam, Netherlands and Bern, Switzerland last week due to their frontman’s ill health. The Amsterdam date has been rescheduled to next month, but the Swiss gig has since been cancelled.
After the Stones confirmed earlier today (June 20) that their ‘SIXTY’ tour will resume as planned in Milan, Italy tomorrow (June 21), Jagger has now shared a short video message in which he thanked the band’s fans for their support.
“Hi everyone, thanks so much for all your lovely messages – I really appreciate them,” he said.
“I’m sorry for the inconvenience about the shows. But we’ll be on stage in Milan on Tuesday – see you there.”
