March 30 traces a wild, evolving chapter in the story of The Rolling Stones—from gritty club gigs in England to explosive European tours and global stadium dominance. It’s a date where chaos and legacy collide: Mick Jagger injured onstage in 1966, triumphant in Buenos Aires decades later, then reflective, even ironic, revisiting his past. Add a cinematic turn with Martin Scorsese and a moment of vulnerability in 2019, and you get more than a timeline—you get a snapshot of a band constantly surviving, reinventing, and pushing forward, no matter the era.

I’m devastated for having to postpone the tour but I will be working very hard to be back on stage as soon as I can. Once again, huge apologies to everyone.” Keith: “A big disappointment for everyone but things need to be taken care of and we will see you soon.
