The Rolling Stones canceled a concert scheduled in Australia Wednesday following the apparent suicide of Mick Jagger’s long-time partner, L’Wren Scott, in her Chelsea condo.
Scott was found hanged on Monday, on the same day that Jagger arrived in Perth for a tour of Australia and New Zealand.
A spokesman for the singer said he was “completely shocked and devastated by the news,” and that the Perth concert was canceled.
Scott, 49, hung herself, and was discovered by her assistant at her apartment on 11th Avenue about 10 a.m.
Meanwhile, tributes to Scott poured in from across the worlds of fashion and celebrity.
Jagger’s first wife, Bianca, said she was “heartbroken to learn of the loss of the lovely and talented L’Wren Scott. My thoughts and prayers are with her family,” The Guardian reported.
“You’ll forever be missed,” American fashion designer Marc Jacobs said.
Jagger was in Australia for the sold-out “Rolling Stones On Fire” tour, which was to begin in Perth on Wednesday.
Organizers said no further information was available for other concerts in other Australian cities and New Zealand.
“No further information is available at this time and ticket holders are asked to hold on to their tickets until a further update,” they said in a statement.
It directed those with tickets to watch frontiertouring.com, facebook.com/frontiertouring and the Twitter feed for Frontier Touring for updates.
