Geez, bad news indeed. Puts everything in perspective, for MT and the rest of the Stones...we're lucky to have them all in 2015.
Hope above all that MT heals well but of course would still love to see him play a few shows this tour.

Well let's hope the best for Mick. May he take the time and pursue the life changes necessary for a successful recovery.

He had serious lung issues a couple of years ago already, was hospitalised for that. Smoking cigarettes doesn't make it any better. So the doctor could be right this time. I hope Taylor finally kicks his nasty habit.

Ok I knew I shouldn't have responded to the rumors, my apologies and I'm glad they are not true. Sounds like someone is playing Keno and the rest of us like a fiddle.
Chacal, obviously folks are anxious to get an update on what MT is up to, when and if we can expect to see him playing again soon. That's why we jump on any news we get. Any news would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm not. We have discussed this extensively in private conversations, MT's smoking habits included. Keep it straight please.

I'm not. We have discussed this extensively in private conversations, in the past, remember?
You should cut it out and stop insinuating you know anything about MT's health.... You don't know him.

Which recovery are you referring to ?

Mick Taylor is not at all sick. In fact, he is in fine fettle.
He would love to play on the upcoming North American tour, but was told by Joyce Smyth that he won't be invited. No explanation was offered.

How come Joyce Smyth is now just Mick Jagger's lawyer?
..from fixing the backing choir to the ticket prices. She even designed a T-shirt.
I was surprised this went on so long. Really without official statements this becomes a circle jerk.Quote

Likely because she is referred to as "Mick Jaggers lawyer" in NYTimes articles like the following and probably does work with him more that any of the other Stones, probably even on some of his non-Stones related affairs.

that is a great question. Does MJ get paid for his role as administrator? There is huge money at the concessions as well. Previous members appear on shirts so Bill,MT and Brian's estate get money from touring too.Quote
Naturalust
At the end the money they earn is not only Mick's money they split it equally, right?[/
Who knows? Probably true for performances but it would certainly be fair to pay Mick for his time and effort dealing with Stones business as CEO of the corporation. With his reputation and proven track record, I'd certainly be willing to compensate him well for any effort he did on my behalf.

I guess the original members own the rights to the name Rolling Stones there's lots of crazy money going around.Quote

"Joyce Smyth is an unsung member of the Rolling Stones whose legal training is vital to their business
If you are a rock fan of a certain age — or even the next generation of fans — it’s the dream job. Joyce Smyth not only went to the Rolling Stones’ 50th anniversary concert, she helped to make it happen, from fixing the backing choir to the ticket prices. She even designed a T-shirt.
For a lawyer, gigs don’t get much better than that."

Terrible that MJ doesn't have the guts to tell MT himself that they don't need him on tour anymore. Had to ask the lawyer to do so. And then on the radio interview MJ comes with a lame blah, blah excuse. MJ is a coward, if he could not tell MT himself that he was not to be on the ZIP tour.

I have to agree. We shouldn't be speculating on health issues. Anyone who claims MT is either sick or not sick should not post anything unless they have a valid link to a statement. 'keno' started this mess up again. We can say he's full of it alright but we shouldn't guess on MT's well being...
