The Rolling Stones frontman went under the knife to have a damaged heart valve replaced earlier this week. Tonight Billboard is reporting that the 75-year-old is being monitored following the operation in New York. The heart problem was spotted after a routine scan ahead of the North American leg of the band’s No Filter tour, forcing a postponement. Surgeons can replace a malfunctioning valve with a mechanical one, or a valve made from cow, pig or human heart tissue. Sir Mick’s team have pointed to his “meticulous” health regime as “compelling” evidence he will bounce back from the surgery.
