Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger 'on the mend' after medical treatment
Stones postponed their latest tour so Jagger could get medical treatment, reportedly a heart valve surgery
A representative for Mick Jagger said on Friday the Rolling Stones frontman has successfully undergone medical treatment and is "expected to make a full recovery."
The 75-year-old rocker was in hospital in New York for a heart valve replacement surgery, Rolling Stone magazine reported.
Last week, the Rolling Stones announced they were postponing their latest tour so Jagger could receive treatment.
Jagger was told by doctors "he cannot go on tour at this time" and apologized to U.S. and Canadian fans last weekend for postponing the iconic rockers' forthcoming tour.
Jagger tweeted, "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."
On Friday, he posted a message of thanks on social media to medical staff for the successful outcome and to fans for the support.
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.
