Rolling Stones Fan Sues After Cancellation












Excerpt from E!:

"Rolling Stones fans can't get no satisfaction—all because Mick Jagger can't get no Robitussin.
The venerable rockers have been forced to cancel their second U.S. show in three days while the AARP-eligible frontman recovers from yet more vocal hiccups.
But considering the fan backlash, Jagger may now wish he'd just popped a couple of cough drops and got on with it.
"Following doctor's advice, singer Mick Jagger has been ordered to rest his voice," states a posting on the group's official Website.
On Friday, the group canceled a concert in Atlantic City, the first of their two axed shows, just hours before it was set to begin, leaving nearly 12,000 fans in a lurch.
The last-minute delay so ticked off one couple, Martin and Rosalee Druyan, that the duo is seeking class-action status for their $51 million lawsuit against both the band and Ticketmaster seeking to reimburse the thousands of inconvenienced fans who shelled out big bucks for traveling expenses, meals and hotels in anticipation of the Bigger Bang stop, only to have it scuttled the day of the performance.
The Druyans' complaint, filed in New York State Supreme Court less than 72 hours after officials put the kibosh on the gig, claims that concert officials must have known at least several days in advance that Jagger's bum pipes would result in a cancellation and that the few hours notice fans were given was not acceptable.
The couple probably takes no consolation in knowing that just two days later, Jagger & Co. were seemingly back in fighting form, performing a private gig at New York's Beacon Theater Sunday night in honor of President Bill Clinton's 60th birthday celebration.
While several overeager fans who had scalped tickets were banned from entering the Secret Service-monitored venue, big-name revelers like Sheryl Crow and Elvis Costello had no problems getting in. Martin Scorsese also recorded the show for inclusion on an upcoming Stones concert DVD.
But apparently, one show per week is all the British boys have in them.
Earlier this morning, the group canceled another gig at the Beacon Theater scheduled for tonight, once again blaming strain on Jagger's vocal cords.
The show is expected to take place tomorrow night instead.
As for the Atlantic City show, the group has postponed the gig until Nov. 17, a rescheduling which will likely delay the rockers' Los Angeles show, originally set to take place Nov. 18. The group has not played in different cities on consecutive nights in years."
