Promoters of the Rolling Stones "A Bigger Bang" world tour announced this morning that the tour has been curtailed, because lead singer Mick Jagger has experienced recent throat problems.

As a result, the Nov. 22 Honolulu concert is canceled.

Refunds will be offered on tickets beginning at 1 p.m. today.

Aloha Stadium Authority spokesman Patrick Leonard cautioned ticketholders that there may be a rush on the system at 1 p.m., and said obtaining a refund might run more smoothly if ticketholders try later in the day.

Refunds will be available from the point of sale for ticketbuyers until further notice.

Other dates on the Rolling Stones tour have been postponed or moved.

A newly revised schedule from promoter Live Nation shows the Stones playing Los Angeles Nov. 22 and Vancouver Nov. 25.

"The Rolling Stones have been advised to take four days off from their "A Bigger Bang" world tour in order for singer Mick Jagger to properly recover from recent throat problems," Live Nation representative Greg Terlizzi said, in a press release today.

Online ticket information had not been updated at the time of this report.
