The Rolling Stones wrote on Instagram that they "deeply regret" the postponement of the halt to their tour in Amsterdam after Jagger tested positive for COVID.
"You can't always get what you want," said a Rolling Stones fan.
On Monday, the band's vocalist Mick Jagger announced on social media that he had tested positive for COVID-19, prompting the band's Monday night show to be postponed.
"I'm sorry we had to postpone tonight's show in Amsterdam for such a short time. "Unfortunately, I've just tested positive for COVID," he wrote in a Twitter post. "We are doing our best to reschedule and return as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding, Mick." The show was scheduled for Monday evening in the Netherlands, with the next stop on Friday in Bern, Switzerland. The show is now ready to resume.
In a statement on the British band's Instagram page, they wrote that they were "forced to cancel tonight's concert" after Jagger, 78, began experiencing "COVID symptoms when he arrived at the stadium."
They also said they were "deeply sorry" and asked fans to "be prepared for the details."
Last week the band, consisting of Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood, performed in Liverpool, England, and shared photos from a great night - including their setlist. The band previously played in Munich, Germany and the tour ended in Stockholm, Sweden, on July 31. After his show in Liverpool, Jagger's friend Melanie Hamrick posted a captivating video on her Instagram Story of her son Devereaux, 5, dancing backstage during a concert.
Deveraux trembled as his father sang one of his band's hits, "You Can't Always Get What You Want." Jagger's son fully supported his dad at the concert in a Rolling Stones t-shirt as he jumped up and tossed his long hair to the music.
The band will kick off their European tour on June 1 in Madrid. Meanwhile, in September, shortly after the death of drummer Charlie Watts, the band embarked on their long-delayed No Filter tour.
At the opening ceremony, they paid homage to Watts, opening with an empty stage and a beat of drums, according to the Associated Press.
