The Rolling Stones have cancelled a concert in Frankfurt, Germany due to Keith Richards’ brain surgery.

The date, originally set for July 14, has been cancelled as tour promoters failed to find a new date for the show, as all the European dates were rescheduled following Richards’ accident in Fiji.

However, ticket holders for the concert will be able to go to other Rolling Stones dates in Germany for a reduced price, the BBC reports.

Two German concerts in Nuremberg and Leipzig were cancelled.

Dates in Barcelona, Madrid, Brussels, Gothenburg, St Petersburg, Brno, Warsaw, Athens and Zagreb are still to be rescheduled.

As previously reported by NME.COM, guitarist Ron Wood has been in rehab being treated for alcohol dependency.
