Open Heart Surgery. Aortic Valve Replacement. 6 months total recovery time especially if running around stage.
TAVR. Minimally invasive. Up and running in 2 weeks.
Assuming no complications from either.
From a cardiologist in Miami.
Who also stated yesterday that a summer tour would be hell!
Who the Hell Vacations in Miami in summer.
Or Jacksonville.
Or New Orleans.
NO ONE
Keith would MELT! And the entire crowd!
95% humidity and severe late afternoon thunderstorms.
And New York. Boston Philly DC and Chicago ain't no picnic either.
So its open heart surgery and fall tour.
Or TAVR and May thru July tour.
As they say in NOLA. I AINT SAYIN. I'M JUST SAYIN!

Anyone notice the shows on ticket master all say TBA except N.O. But now in a different order. Wonder if this means anything?

Good spot. It’s not alphabetical either. All the same venues too so I think there might be something in this.
The order doesn’t make a lot of geographical or logistical sense in places but the Stones’ stage is much leaner and meaner than the jumbotron stages of times past and can probably be shipped as air cargo. I think it takes about 3 days to build so they presumably have either 2 or 3 complete stage sets for a tour plus spare parts.

Also interesting that while the order of the gigs are somewhat scrambled, the logistics still work pretty well for some of the runs (Jax to Miami to Chicago to Denver to Seattle to Santa Clara.. )

I'm VERY squeamish about Mick rushing back to hit July dates. This surgery is NOT trivial, and recovery is important for someone at his age.
Do I WANT to see the Stones this year? Hell yes, but not at the expense of Mick's health. I know he's a very measured, logical person, so I doubt he'd put his health in jeopardy, but this just seems awfully fast to me.

What are the odds of getting a little heads up here before the new dates are published I save a ton of money on hotels being able to reserve a room before the general public knows.

You got that right. The Billboard story is just tempting fate. The Stones camp seems almost desperate to push the "no big deal" narrative.

I also remain skeptical about the July tour date...maybe they just don't want a tidal wave of ticket refund requests.

I prefer the rumored July-early Sept dates personally, but like others am concerned about Mick pushing himself.
A bit ironically, the buddy I'm traveling to several shows with just had a similar procedure done, discovered after we bought tickets etc, and we were concerned about him being up for all the walking from the parking lot and up the stairs type issues..
The Denver, Seattle, and perhaps Santa Clara dates, which look like potentially the last of the tour when rescheduled, would all be the most mild weather wise of the tour, with daytime highs turning to great late summer comfortable evenings.[/quote
Houston has a roof so they can turn the air on if needed Chicago average hi 82 low at NIGHT in the 70’s actually perfect temp to me. Same with upper east coast. I think the only shows that might be too hot are the Florida shows. Not sure about the California shows. But doesn’t it get cool in the evening in the Arizona desert. Zip code I did Dallas / Nashville / Kansas City all in June and all hot days but when the sun goes down and the Stones come out it was perfect outside. Also increased beer sales! July / August / September will be fine. I think after doing this for 50 plus years I am pretty sure they kind of have a clue what they are doing

Glendale has a roof also. So one more where the temperature is not a issue
I wasn’t that far off I said it could be cardiac, dumbass. And I’m not claiming to be an M.D. I am one.Quote

Thank God we have all these "medical experts" here. The one who claimed to be a MD, of course, was way off in his "diagnosis.
