Mick Jagger to have a stent placed in his heart

https://pagesix.com/2019/04/01/mick-jagger-to-undergo-heart-valve-replacement-surgery/

Rolling Stones rocker Mick Jagger is set to have a stent placed in his heart following the band’s tour postponement, Page Six has learned.

“You can be back at work within weeks” following the procedure, a source tells us. “But it could be because the health checks are all set into the insurance for the tour, maybe they’re being careful” by postponing the tour.

According to Drudge Report, who first reported Jagger would undergo surgery, the procedure will take place in New York City this week and the 75-year-old Stones frontman is expected to make a full recovery. Sources told the site Jagger is in “extraordinary physical condition.”

A rep for Jagger did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.

Two different procedures and was at work the next day after both. Course I wasn't jumping around on stage singing Sympathy for the Devil. But it's not anything like getting open heart surgery.
