Nice to hear everything is going well for Mick as planned. Certainly he will be in Jumping Jack form in no time.

The case of Mick Jagger shows that spreading serious information is the best they can do to avoid speculation. Even superstars are human beings, so what could they lose if they tell the fans what happened?
About the tour, it's very simple: Either Mick will be able to do it or not. It's as simple as that. And if he should never more be able to do stadium gigs but wants to perform they can alsways do concerts on a smaller scale (even if there is not that much Money to be made).
Anyway, I wish him all the best, and (according to a song by Van Morrison): Thanks for the Information!

Great news! Now it's the hardest part in the process for Mick - be still and do nothing...
Someone in the other thread quessed it right - the info about the operation to be done in Friday was tactically leaked wrong. Altogether, interestingly handled by PR machine. Officially say nothing concrete but just an vague general description open for any interpretation, which, of course, caused a lot of speculation - but also attention. Then slow it down by leaking more concrete details, but giving the date wrong for the operation to give Mick a chance to to do it without no any extra attention. Now leak the news about succesful operation.
I wouldn't be surprised if officially the initial statement will remain the only official word of the case. The next we will hear officially is when they are giving new tour dates and mentioning that Mick is back in form. Like nothing extraordinary has happened.

Inside knowledge that it would be done & dusted so quickly obviously negated the need for any significant release of information [...or disinformation for that matter.]
