Rolling Stones cancel Australian shows
The Rolling Stones have officially cancelled their first Australian concert in Perth. Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones are set to return to New York after Jagger’s girlfriend, L’Wren Scott, tragically died this morning of an alleged suicide. Frontier Touring Company released a statement this afternoon saying that “The Rolling Stones concert in Perth will not be going ahead as scheduled….ticket holders are asked to hold on to their tickets until a further update is available.” The fashion designer and former model was found dead in her Manhattan apartment at around 1 am. Jagger was shocked by the news and will return to the US after spending just two days in Perth, where the band were supposed to perform as the start of their tour of Australia. Jagger’s daughter, 22-year-old Georgia May, arrived in Sydney this morning, ready to walk the runway for Camilla Franks, but is now preparing to return to New York.
