Unfortunately, the tour has now been postponed with the delayed dates in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Coolangatta and Newcastle being affected.
A statement on Taylor’s official website read:
“Due to unforeseen circumstances the planned shows in Reeth, Kinross and the Australian tour have been postponed. We will update you when there is any further information”.
While many people associate him with the Rolling Stones; Mick has worked on soundtracks and film scores, including Nicholas Roeg’s The Man Who Fell To Earth, appeared with Mike Oldfield for performances of Tubular Bells, recorded with Gong, Jack Bruce, Little Feat, Stones associatesNicky Hopkins and Billy Preston and played a major role in the careers of many other musicians.
After being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 with the Stones and the release of the album A Stranger In This Town in 1990, Mick continued to tour heavily. He was also working in the studio and playing live with Carla Olson, added his handprints to Hollywood’s RockWalk in autumn 1998 and continued to write material for A Stone’s Throw which was released in 2000.
While no rescheduled dates have been announced, and indeed to cause for the postponement has been given, Noise 11 report that it is believed to be due to Taylor’s ill health.
