Mick Jagger Health Update: What Is His Latest Condition Following Surgery?
Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger is recovering from heart valve replacement surgery Friday at New York Hospital. According to his representatives, Jagger is expected to make a full recovery.
"Thank you everyone for all your messages of support, I’m feeling much better now and on the mend - and also a huge thank you to all the hospital staff for doing a superb job," Jagger on Friday posted on Twitter.
Jagger, 75, had what is called Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The Mayo Clinic defines it as "a minimally invasive procedure to replace a narrowed aortic valve that fails to open properly (aortic valve stenosis)." The procedure involves wedging a replacement valve into the aortic valve's place.
The band announced in late March they were postponing an upcoming run of North American "No Filter" tour dates due to Jagger’s health.
Jagger on March 30 posted on Twitter: "I’m devastated for having to postpone the tour, but I will be working very hard to be back on stage as soon as I can. Once again, huge apologies to everyone."
Jagger will only need less than a week to recover and tour dates for the Rolling Stones will likely restart in July.
The Rolling Stones, who last put out a studio album in 2005 with "A Bigger Bang," were originally slated to begin touring on April 20 in Miami and ending June 21 in Chicago.
Jagger has mostly been in good health before his hearth surgery. However, court documents in November 2014 revealed he suffered from "acute traumatic stress disorder" following the suicide death of his girlfriend L'Wren Scott.
