Rock 'n' roll legends, The Rolling Stones, postponed their first Australian tour date following the death of L'Wren Scott.

The band was going to be taking the stage at Perth Arena this evening but after the news of Mick Jagger's girlfriend, sudden death, the band announced they would not be playing.

L'Wren Scott, died of an apparent suicide. Scott was a designer and had been dating the Rolling Stones frontman for more than a decade, CNN detailed.

Late yesterday afternoon, management for the upcoming tour announced
that the show would not be going ahead as scheduled and that ticket holders are asked to hold onto their ticket until another date is announced. No other information was provided in the statement.

The statement was released hours after news broke about the passing of Scott.

The next stop on the Australian tour is on March 22 but no information has been released if that tour date will have to be postponed and rescheduled as well, Billboard reported.

The Stones have not been in Australia since 2006 with their "A Bigger Bang" tour.
