Rolling Stones Hit the Pause Button in Amsterdam
So, the iconic band had to hit the stop sign at the Johan Cruijff ArenA last night. They’re all about keeping the crowd safe, so even the legendary Mick Jagger—stands at 78 years young—had to call it a night after testing positive for Covid‑19.
What Went Down
Just an hour and a half before the show, the band’s crew and Mojo Concerts told the fans that Jagger couldn’t hit the high notes this time.
- “He can’t sing,” to the audience, a stage announcer said.
- Followed up with the same blunt line: “There is no show tonight… it is what it is.”
Amsterdam was supposed to be the fourth stop on the Sixty European tour, juggling a stop in Liverpool the week before. But when the guy at the front of the guitar riff woke up feeling a little off, the band made the “no drag‑ons” call.
Why It Matters
Safety first: the band’s statement, “the safety of the audience, fellow musicians and the touring crew has to take priority,” reminds us that even rock royalty can’t ignore health checks.
