The Rolling Stones announce rescheduled tour dates as Mick Jagger gets back on his feet after 'heart surgery'

The Rolling Stones have announced new tour dates after postponing gigs while Mick Jagger received medical treatment.

The band announced on Thursday that their No Filter Tour would begin in Chicago with two shows on 21 and 25 June.

All the cities previously postponed are locked in, and there’s a new date in New Orleans.

Tickets sold for the original dates will be honoured, but those who aren’t able to attend can get refunds from their Ticketmaster accounts. 

The group said in a statement the concerts will feature classic hits such as “Sympathy For The Devil” and “Paint It Black”. 

The No Filter Tour was originally supposed to start on 20 April in Miami. However, but doctors told the Jagger, 75, in late March that he couldn’t go on tour.

Jagger was reportedly suffering from a heart valve issue. He has acknowledged receiving treatment in a hospital, thanking his medical staff in an April tweet for their “superb job”, but hasn’t publicly specified the reasons for that treatment.

On Wednesday, the rocker confirmed he was back on his feet by tweeting a video of himself busting some of his iconic dance moves in a studio, his energy evidently intact.
