ROLLING STONES cancel shows, a fan sues them

The rock legends ROLLING STONES were forced to re-schedule dates from their North American tour, due to problems with Mick Jagger’s voice.

A spokesperson for the band said that the concert in Honolulu on November 22 is cancelled, so that Jagger can recuperate from his sore throat. Other three North American concerts are re-scheduled for the same reasons.

After last week Jagger fell ill and the band was forced to cancel its show in Atlantic City on October 27 four hours before its start, an angry fan filed a class action lawsuit in a Manhattan court. Rosalie Druyan accused Jagger and the Stones of fraud and in acting in bad faith because of the cancellation, which she said cost her and thousands of fans money on non-refundable hotel bookings and travel expenses.

Druyan bought a pair of tickets on the Internet for $575 and said she was not notified about the cancellation until it was too late to cancel her $300 hotel reservations at the Trump Taj Mahal. A spokeswoman was not immediately available to comment on the suit.

The rock legends have announced that the postponed Atlantic City concert has been re-scheduled for November 17.
