Stones cancel in Australia

The Rolling Stones have cancelled at least the first date of their planned Australian tour after the tragic death of Mick Jagger's partner, L'Wren Scott. The 49-year-old model and designer, who had been dating the Rolling Stones frontman since 2001, was apparently found hanged at a New York apartment. Sir Mick will attend the funeral. Frontier Touring, the promoter of the band's world tour, posted a message on its Facebook site to confirm a concert in Perth tomorrow will not go ahead.

UPDATE

20.03.14  The Rolling Stones have announced that they are postponing their whole tour of Australia and New Zealand. The remaining band members have now returned home.
