The Rolling Stones postponed a concert on Monday in Amsterdam after lead singer Mick Jagger tested positive for COVID-19, the band said in a statement.

Monday's show was part of the group's 'Stones Sixty Europe 2022 Tour', to mark their 60th anniversary.

Called "SIXTY", the 14-show tour kicked off in Madrid on June 1 with stops scheduled in ten countries in total.
