Stones May Pay for Concert Delays
Rolling Stones fans can’t get no satisfaction-all because Mick Jagger can’t get no Robitussin.
The venerable rockers have been forced to cancel their second U.S. show in three days while the AARP-eligible frontman recovers from yet more vocal hiccups.
But considering the fan backlash, Jagger may now wish he’d just popped a couple of cough drops and got on with it.
“Following doctor’s advice, singer Mick Jagger has been ordered to rest his voice,” states a posting on the group’s official Website.
On Friday, the group canceled a concert in Atlantic City, the first of their two axed shows, just hours before it was set to begin, leaving nearly 12,000 fans in a lurch.
The last-minute delay so ticked off one couple, Martin and Rosalee Druyan, that the duo is seeking class-action status for their $51 million lawsuit against both the band and Ticketmaster seeking to reimburse the thousands of inconvenienced fans who shelled out big bucks for traveling expenses, meals and hotels in anticipation of the Bigger Bang stop, only to have it scuttled the day of the performance.
