We used to love hearing about album releases, watching new videos, and the announcement of new tours. Now, if you are a classic rock fan like me, we await word on the health of our favorite stars.
It wasn't that long ago that the music that I love was NEW rock. Now, I need to deal with the fact that the last time I saw Paul McCartney at Wells Fargo Arena, he was 75 and the last time I enjoyed Tom Petty at the Well....well, that was really the last time.
As heard on my show yesterday, Ozzy Osbourne has postponed a planned concert for Wells Fargo Area in Des Moines that was scheduled for this summer til June 28, 2020.
Ozzy is 70. He postponed ALL of his 2019 tour dates for his "No More Tours 2" run as he recovers from an injury sustained while dealing with a recent bout of pneumonia He fell at his home and aggravated injuries from a 2003 ATV accident.
How many folks REALLY believe we'll see him in 2020? Have you watched the movie, "The Dirt," on Netflix? The movie recreates an incident between Motley Crue and Oz that I can't recount in a family blog. But let's just say, the dude has lived hard.
Meanwhile, Mick Jagger underwent heart surgery this week, and sources tell "Billboard" the procedure has been completed and was successful.
Mick underwent a heart valve replacement, and sources say doctors are now monitoring him for any possible complications. He is expected to rest at least four of five days in order for his artery to heal without issues, but could be up and moving before then.
Earlier this week, the Rolling Stones announced they were going to have to postpone dates on their North American “No Filter” tour in order for Mick to get “medical treatment.”
