The tour was canceled before it even kicked off in a concert May 8 in San Diego.

"We are sorry to all the fans who were looking forward to it as much as we were, but the health and safety of everyone has to take priority," Jagger said in announcing the cancellation. "We will all get through this together — and we'll see you very soon."

Ticket holders were given the choice of cashing in or hanging on to their tickets. Those who cashed in will have a chance to purchase tickets for the new date along with everyone else hoping for a chance to see the Stones.
