Mick Jagger has Covid: is the concert at San Siro (really) safe?

There is nothing worse for an artist to positivize himself in the middle of a tour. Mick Jagger knows something about it that, in the midst of the SIXTY Tour of the Rolling Stones on stage these weeks in Europe, contracted Covid, a circumstance that led to the cancellation of the concert scheduled for June 14 at the Johan Cruijff Arena in Amsterdam, postponing it to a later date as well as the one in Bern, which would have seen the Stones perform on June 17. According to the note released by the band’s official profile, it looks like the conditions of Mick Jagger – who will turn 79 in July – are good, despite having experienced some symptoms upon arrival in the Netherlands.

“The Rolling Stones are deeply sorry for tonight’s postponement, but the safety of the public, musicians and workers must be a priority. The show will be rescheduled at a later date, tickets will be valid for that date, stay tuned for details “, we read on the official Rolling Stones social networks, even if at the moment the concern of Italian fans is only one: Mick Jagger will be able to deny himself in time to allow the Stones to perform on 21 June at San Siro, on the only Italian date of their SIXTY Tour? The date, again according to what was communicated in another note, would be confirmed, with the hope that everyone runs smoothly until the end.

The hope that all goes well is great, not least because this tour, the first since the pandemic restrictions, means a lot to the Rolling Stones and their fans. It is, in fact, of the first tour without their longtime drummer Charlie Watts, not to mention the tour de force that led the band to agree to perform in 14 concerts in 10 different countries. The first British stop was staged at the Anfield Football Stadium in Liverpool, the birthplace of the Beatles, their great rivals in the roaring years of rock: a date so exciting that it brought Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Steve Jordanthe drummer who replaced Watts, to pay homage to the Beatles by interpreting a song.
