Fan Sues Rolling Stones for Cancelling Concert

The New Zealand Herald reports that a Rolling Stones fan sued the band for $51 million after they cancelled their New Jersey show, last week.

Rosalie Druyan of Brooklyn filed a class-action lawsuit in Manhattan Supreme Court, yesterday, accusing Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones of fraud and acting in bad faith because they cancelled their October 27th concert date in Atlantic City, New Jersey, four hours before it was scheduled to begin. Druyan claims the show cost her and thousands of other fans money on hotel bookings, which were non-refundable.

The lawsuit also charges that Jagger had recieved medical attention prior to the concert and should have known whether or not he would be able to perform, yet he did not release this information in time for concert-goers to cancel their travel reservations.

Druyan bought two tickets online for $575 and spent $300 in hotel reservations at the Trump Taj Mahal before she was notified that the show was cancelled.

Due to a doctor's advice that Jagger needs four days to recover from his laryngitis, the Rolling Stones are postponing their November 5th show in Oakland until Nov. 6, while their November 3rd show in Vancouver has been rescheduled for Nov. 25. The Rolling Stones were scheduled to perform Tuesday at the Beacon Theater in New York City, but this event was postponed, as well, until Wednesday. Their postponed Atlantic City concert has been re-scheduled for November 17th.
