Mick Jagger, frontman for the rock group the Rolling Geezers, oops, I mean Rolling Stones, made international news when word came out that the group's North American tour has been postponed until after Jagger recovers from a procedure to put in a heart stent.
According to the Japan Times:
LONDON - Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger will undergo heart surgery this week following the postponement of the band’s North American tour for medical reasons, according to a published report.
The U.S. website Drudge Report, citing unidentified sources, said Jagger, 75, would undergo surgery this week in New York to replace a heart valve. New York Post’s Page Six website, citing unidentified sources, said the surgery would involve placing a stent in the singer’s heart.
Representatives for Jagger in the United States did not return requests for comment. A spokesman for the British band in London declined to comment on the Drudge Report article.
Stents are typically used to prop open arteries that have been cleared of a blockage.
Jagger's recovery, provided that his procedure only involves placing a stent, shouldn't take too long. I had two stents put into a heart artery last summer and it took me about two months to feel back to normal. The procedure itself was surprisingly painless.
