The Stones announced Saturday that they would be postponing their latest tour so that Jagger, 75, could receive the treatment. Doctors told him that he "cannot go on tour at this time," according to a news release that announced the delay.
Jagger said in the release that he hated "letting our fans down," and apologized on his personal Twitter account as well: "I'm devastated for having to postpone the tour but I will be working very hard to be back on stage as soon as I can," he tweeted. "Once again, huge apologies to everyone."
The Stones' nationwide No Filter Tour was scheduled to kick off April 20 in Miami Gardens, Florida.
Billboard reported that it will probably be pushed to July, and the band will have to be replaced at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in May.
