It all depends on logistics and Jaggers state of mind but I think they will try to reschedule just before the European Tour or just after.

Take the great ocean road, south of Melbourne, it is amazing. Melbourne itself is a great city to be in for a couple of days.
As for Sydney, go to the Blue Mountains and visit the northern beach (skip bondi beach as it just a massive tourist trap) it is stunning up there and I'm not not just saying that because I live there
If you want more detailed tips about Sydney feel free to email me!

Its very sad that Mick's girlfriend took her life,but what happened to that old show business idea that the show must go on no matter what? I mean when Brian died,they were on stage two days later at Hyde Park..
Before anyone has a sissy fit,this is a valid question,jus askin....

I'm sure the old saying "the show must go on" was never meant to mean that in every single circumstance, putting on "the show" should take priority over everything else. It was understood to be a general premise that professional performers have a job to do, an obligation to entertain the paying audience...regardless of their own personal feelings or emotional state. Much like people in other professions have a job to do and must carry on even when they would rather not be there. Ask yourself this question, would you enjoy being at a show where the main entertainer - Mick for example - is only there out of a sense of duty or contractual obligation? And he is just going through the motions of a performance when you feel his heart and mind is somewhere else but on the stage? I know I wouldn't.

I think its an awful, meaningless cliched expression which takes no account of individual circumstances or a person's feelings.
As paying customers, I dont think we have the right to demand that a performer just shuts a personal tragedy out of their life for a few hours for the sake of entertaining us.
If the Stones were to play shows this week, the entire focus of the show gets shifted away from the music to being some kind of bizarre and macabre voyeurism.

I totally agree. That doesn't alter the fact of what it used to mean, though! I'm sure that TornAndFried is right that there were certain exceptions, but none that were purely personal. That's just the way it was.
