Jagger apologizes in Catalan language
Jagger used a very unusual way to apologize to his fans. He used the Catalan language to say “Sorry” to the fans of “The Rolling Stones” in Barcelona and three other Spanish cities for the cancellation of their concerts.
In a TV broadcast Thursday as the Rolling Stones prepared a new tour of Spain, Jagger told fans, “We are very sorry we canceled our concert last year, but now we are ready.” The apology lasted a few seconds and was prolonged by laughter and clowning from drummer Charlie Watts and guitarist Keith Richards.
After the apology Jagger made, Channel 3, the television that broadcasted it, described Jagger’s Catalan diction “better than average”.
The language is indigenous to the semiautonomous Catalonia region in northeastern Spain.
Jagger might be more than sure that after this unusual way he used to say “sorry” his fans would have forgiven him.
The apology preceded a concert Thursday night at Barcelona’s Olympic Stadium as part of the Stones “A Bigger Bang Tour”.
The cancellation of last year’s dates of the concerts in Spain was due to Jagger coming down with a case of laryngitis that prevented him from singing for a couple of weeks.
Ticket prices for the Barcelona show range from $87 to $249. Organizers said that, as of Wednesday, 8,000 tickets remained unsold.
After Barcelona, the Rolling Stones will play in San Sebastian, Madrid and El Ejido in southeast Spain.
