RIP.
Intwtwating coincidence: wasnt Jagger in OZ also when Brian Jones tragically died?
No, but he went there before Brian had been buried.
He flew out the day after Hyde Park concert. Marianne tried to kill herself soon after they arrived in Australia.

Postponing some shows won't affect the employees the same way, though.
For Mick's sake I hope he will - to be able to get it together somehow...

They were also back onstage just 2 days after the death of Brian Jones. Mick was in tears when informed in the studio of Brian's death, but steadfastly asserted, "It goes on!"
I think Mick's professionalism will surprise a number of people here.

Possibly..."show must go on", but also the British "stiff upper lip" and the fact that his stage persona is so different than what he is as a person (remember how he thanked the crowd for allowing him to say a few words about the shooting that took place before the 12/2012 PPV?).
Incredibly I just realized that in another lifetime I briefly worked with her brother, weird...
@mnewman505 - it does appear that she was very proud and wanted to make it on her own terms, and it must have been hard to have apparent success and a dire business situation at the same time, possibly making the apparent success meaningless or only because of...tragic, really tragic.

When I saw the Who in late '82, Townshend didn't look at the crowd, didn't say a word, had an attitude for the entire show, so you just shrugged, everyone else played great, Daltrey included. Then a few days later, Townshend gave an interview saying he was so upset at this show because Roger's sister had passed away that day -- apparently the poor thing had been ill for some time. Trousers went chuntering on about how he fancied her back in the day and all this and I'm saying, it's ROGER'S sister, and you couldn't tell he was upset. Roger hears the fire bell and he's off. Think it will be the same with Mick. He's not callous, but he'll get up there and do his thing, but then when he gets off stage...I think that Maria Shriver tweet is perfect, perhaps the tabloids might like to keep it in mind...and those with tabloid mentalities.

Mick Jagger's loss is a private matter, and he will do his grieving in private. His public persona will remain the same in public. He will take some time to sort things out and after a minor reshuffling of concert dates will be back doing what he must do. He is a professional musician and entertainer after all, and if any people are "desperately" in need of a "filter" it's the ones on this site who love to fire their moral superiority through double barrels over personal and private matters that don't concern them personally or privately.
Now if you'll pardon me, the air is getting a bit stuffy in here.
