The band has announced new dates in Europe, with their live performances now due to resume on May 26 at Norway’s Telenor Arena in Oslo.
The Stones had been poised to give details of the shows when fashion designer Scott took her own life in her New York apartment just over a fortnight ago. Sir Mick, together with the band, called off their Australian tour as they came to terms with their loss. He headed to California with members of his family and a private funeral was held for 49-year-old Scott in LA last week.
The newly-announced dates are part of the group’s 14 On Fire tour which will also see a night each in Portugal, Switzerland, Israel, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Austria, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium and Sweden, finishing in Denmark on July 3.
