According to the band’s website, Rolling Stones have been forced to cancel the Nov. 8 date of their Australian tour. The show was scheduled to be played at Hanging Rock in Macedon Ranges, Australia. The cancelation is due to a throat infection that has developed in frontman Mick Jagger. According to a statement, Jagger is under doctor’s orders to rest in the coming days.

The official statement from the band reads:

The website also states that all who purchased tickets via Ticketmaster will be refunded. It does not state if the band plans to reschedule the date in the near future.
