The band has released a press statement and its publicist said:

“Mick Jagger has been advised by doctors that he cannot go on tour at this time as he needs medical treatment. The doctors have advised Mick that he is expected to make a complete recovery so that he can get back on stage as soon as possible.”

Jagger is also saddened by all this and has made an individual statement. He tweeted:

“I hate letting our fans down and I’m hugely disappointed to have to postpone the tour but am looking forward to getting back on stage as soon as I can.”

He sincerely apologized for the cancelation and said sorry to his fans in America and Canada.
