The Rolling Stones canceled a concert in Amsterdam after lead singer Mick Jagger contracted covid-19.

Mick Jagger’s positive status was announced in a statement on the band’s verified Instagram account.

“The Rolling Stones have been forced to cancel tonight’s concert in Amsterdam at the Johan Cruijff ArenA, after Mick Jagger tested positive after experiencing COVID symptoms upon arrival at the stadium,” the statement read. “The Rolling Stones deeply regret tonight’s postponement, but the safety of the audience, fellow musicians and touring crew must come first.”

According to the statement, the concert will be rescheduled for a later date and original tickets will be honored.
