Rolling Stones concert in Amsterdam postponed due to Jagger's covid positive

The Rolling Stones have postponed a concert for today in Amsterdam after singer Mick Jagger tested positive for covid-19, the band said in a statement.

"The Rolling Stones deeply regret tonight's postponement, but the safety of the audience, fellow musicians and touring crew must take priority," they said.

Jagger, 78, experienced symptoms after arriving at Amsterdam's Johan Cruijff Arena.

Representatives from Mojo Concerts, who had organized the band's performance in the Netherlands, took the stage to brief the audience at Arena, a football stadium, an hour and a half before the concert began.

"He can't sing, he can't play," an unidentified announcer told fans. "No show tonight...it is what it is."

Amsterdam was to be the fourth stop on the Stones Sixty European tour, following last Thursday's concert in Liverpool.
