The Rolling Stones have postponed their North American tour dates due to illness.

The Stones were due to tour the States from April 20 to June 29. They were set to kick things off in Miami then play 16 more dates, concluding with a performance in Oro-Medonte Canada. Unfortunately, frontman Mick Jagger has fallen ill causing the band to postpone dates following the advice from his doctor.

Mick Jagger apologized to his fans over Twitter, writing:  “I’m so sorry to all our fans in America & Canada with tickets. I really hate letting you down like this. 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. Once again, huge apologies to everyone.”

According to the band’s publicist, Mick Jagger is expected to make a full recovery following medical attention. The Stones intend to reschedule all tour dates and have confirmed that tickets will be valid for their rescheduled dates.

These rescheduled dates are yet to be announced.
