“We’re hugely disappointed to have to postpone the tour,” bandmates Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood said in a statement today. “We are sorry to all the fans who were looking forward to it as much as we were, but the health and safety of everyone has to take priority. We will all get through this together — and we’ll see you very soon.”

All four core members of the Stones are well into their 70s — the age group that scientists say is particularly susceptible to and threatened by COVID-19.

The Stones toured the U.S. last year and grossed $177.8 million from 16 dates, with an average ticket prices of $226. Pollstar ranked it as 2019’s top-grossing North American tour.
