The conspiracy theory in me says that Mick isn't sick, but this is the result of poor ticket sales for Saturday. I think they are banking on the fact that many people already traveled to Vegas and will extend their stay and buy tickets for Saturday. That would also explain why this poor selling Saturday show has not been flexed or excessively lucky dipped. Otherwise cancel both shows now so people who have not yet traveled can change their plans.
Sorry, but there is literally 0% chance of this.
Who would cancel a sold out show in order to motivate people to buy ANOTHER ticket and extend their stay, to see a show 4 days later, which is also uncertain/unconfirmed and as far as anyone knows may also be cancelled?
Not to mention the irreparable reputational damage.
Although I agree with you otherwise, nankerzrk, I don't know that there's any damage to their reputation--the laryngitis seems genuine, and it's just one of those things that happen. They obviously left it as long as possible to cancel, hoping Mick could still perform. I feel really bad for all the disappointed people, though. Maybe some of you can get together and listen to Stones music and drown your sorrows and dance.*
*In fact, you've already been invited by swiss over in another thread!

So sorry for those that travelled far for this show..
I travelled somewhat far and am so grateful to have seen one show for the trip, but feel for those that flew in for just this show. Mick's voice was struggling a bit last Friday, but it was the worst weather (hottest/driest/dustiest) day of the weekend and I chalked it up to that. Sure it didn't help...
Here's hoping Mick recovers quickly and the second show remains unchanged.
Well, they should cancel Saturday then too before another 5000 people with non refundable travel arrangement fly out there.Quote

Yup, totally agree with you - I meant the reputational damage if this was not actually due to illness, but rather a marketing ploy.
I believe this is actually illness, and so I don't think there is any question of reputational damage.

The tweet from Oct 14th said see you Saturday, 10/22, at T Mobile Arena. I remember seeing it at the time and thought it was odd there was no mention of Wednesday.

A typical viral laryngitis gets worse over 2-3 days. It then eases and goes, usually within a week. However, you may have a croaky voice for a week or so even after the other symptoms have gone. This is because the inflammation of the vocal cords may take a while to settle after the virus has gone.

A friend of mine flew all the way from Milan, Italy, to see the show and for a meet and greet. To say he's devastated is an understatement.

F ing unbelievable i just landed and checked in from vegas. I m so F ing bummed i just checked in ad the lady said they canceled it but don t leave Saturday looks like it might be on @#$%& though the stones would of known if Mick had issues don t let us know 12 hours before the show the weird thing is i took the last flight out of LA and i m a frequent flyer on mutiple carriers and the last flight to vegas on 4 carriers were all delayed from Los Angeles and i just got here at 2:AM. Really weird i think it could be bad ticket sales but who knows i looked for ticket s the last week and you could get tickets anywhere but in the front A and C blocks everything else was wid open i could of got section B row A last night for face. I don t know what s up but Mick could of gave us a heafs up sooner imo. Owell Enjoy Las Vagas maybe he wants to see the presidential Debate Jk i feel bad for eveybody that traveled and spent 10 s of thousands of dollars hopefully they come through for us!! Don t go gamble all your money away in your sorrows like me lmao!! Go have a shot of johnny Walker Blue Label in there blues album there releaing and Enjoy it!!!Lets hope Saturday for all of us who came out here to Vegas
