Spanish Stones fans can't get no satisfaction
14 August 2006
VALLADOLID — The Rolling Stones have called off Monday night's concert in Valladolid because Mick Jagger has lost his voice.
It is the second time Spanish fans of the British band have been disappointed.
The band cancelled two concerts they were due to give in Barcelona and Madrid in June after guitarist Keith Richards fell out of a coconut tree in Fiji.
They are still due to play in El Ejido, Almeria on Wednesday. It will be the only Spanish leg on their world tour.
The concert in Valladolid in northwest Spain had caused a mini economic boom in the city with hotels booked out a month before the concert.
Memorabilia sellers peddling records, t-shirts and even the 'Mick Jagger Bourbon' whisky were all doing a roaring trade.
