Mick Jagger sidelined with laryngitis
A month after resuming the European leg of their "A Bigger Bang" tour, the Rolling Stones canceled their Spain show Monday after frontman Mick Jagger caught laryngitis.
"I'm very sorry to be canceling this show," Jagger said on the band's Web site. "I always love playing in Spain, but unfortunately I have no other choice and I apologize to everyone who bought tickets for tonight."
Although the band is not planning to reschedule the performance, tickets to the sold-out show will be refunded.
The tour was hit with another health-related obstacle last spring when guitarist Keith Richards suffered a head injury after falling out of a tree in Fiji, and again in June when Ron Wood checked into rehab for alcohol dependency.
The Stones will continue their tour Wednesday in El Ejido, Spain before eventually hitting dates in the U.S. this fall.
