El líder de la banda británica The Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger, pidió disculpas a todos los fans que habían comprado una entrada para ver el concierto que "sus satánicas majestades" iban a ofrecer hoy, lunes día 14 de agosto, en Valladolid.

Según consta en un comunicado de prensa remitida por la organización del concierto, Los Rolling Stones se han visto forzados a cancelar la cita de esta noche en Valladolid siguiendo los consejos del médico de Mick Jagger. La recomendación del doctor es que el cantante descanse su voz después haber desarrollado una laringitis durante el fin de semana.

"Siento cancelar este show", declaró Mick Jagger hoy a través de este comunicado de prensa remitido por la organización. "Siempre me ha encantado tocar en España, pero desgraciadamente no tengo otra elección y pido disculpas a quien haya comprado entradas para el show de esta noche", continúa el líder de la banda británica.

08.14.06 Stones Forced To Cancel Valladolid Concert
Madrid, Spain

The Rolling Stones have been forced to cancel their concert tonight in Valladolid, Spain. Following doctor's advice, singer Mick Jagger has been ordered to rest his voice after developing laryngitis over the weekend.

"I am very sorry to be cancelling this show", said Mick Jagger today. "I always love playing in Spain, but unfortunately I have no other choice and I apologise to everyone who bought tickets for tonight."

The cancelled concert was originally scheduled for Monday, August 14 in Valladolid.

All tickets will be refunded from point of purchase.

Probably means "choice." I know the German word "Wahl" means choice and election at the same time. Maybe it's the same in Spanish?

simple way to make it up to the fans. give them all a refund, and do a FREE concert in the city when you reschedule the Barca & Madrid shows next year

Last opportunity in Spain to see them, Will they play??

That SUCKS!!!

Sorry everyone who had tickets. This tour is a freaking fiasco. I bet it's giving Cohl an ulcer.

And another in Finland or Sweden.

Yes its a Fiasco, and they should do something about Spain gigs and other concerts, just now on a local radio station in El Ejido, the show is on, go to

I think the Stones should do the right thing and go on with the show, with Keith singing the opening ten songs, then have a "Ronnie interlude", with Keith then closing out the final eight.

Can't really be helped can it??? Just hope he gets better for London this weekend

Well, at least we have that satisfaction!

Sorry Spain. I was in Barcelona :-( But now they have to tour again next year to be the top grossing, world record bla bla bla...

Cancelling the show or postponing the show to a couple of days later is also a matter of logistics - because the stage needs to be transported to UK, and it takes time to take the equipment from Spain to UK......

true, although the advantage they have of course is that the stage used for Twickenham gets used for two shows instead of the usual one. As far as I know, they have 3 stages to 'leapfrog', which would therefore mean that the Porto stage gets used again in London, the Valladolid stage wouldnt be used again until Glasgow (11 days from today) and the El Ejido stage would be used for Sheffield, etc.

they have two stages. One is on its way to UK now and the other one is for Spanish shows.

Just two? Thought I read it was three - OK. Cheers for the info.

well, well - I'm confused because from what I've heard - one stage is going to UK now. And one was today in Valladolid. But also I've hear the stage was builded in El Ejido so this would make 3 I think...

thats what I was thinking. I was presuming from your previous post you were implying that the Valladolid stage was the one that was en route to the UK, which seemed a bit premature!

I've seen pics of stages in the process of construction on this tour for shows that were 6-7 days away, so that would seem to make it a bit difficult to do if they only had two and tend to play 3 shows a week

As far as I can tell porto stage is heading for London.

To send the Valladolid stage Today the 15th and for it to be erected in time for soundchecks would be a miracle never mind Ready for a Concert on the 20th.

I say 3 stages .

Used to think it was 2 but I could never quite figure how they rotated them so quickly.

yes it must be 3 stages. Porto's one is heading to UK, one is/was in Valladolid and the other one in El Ejido. Makes sense
