Mick Jagger's heart surgery was successful and he is now recovering, according to reports.
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.
If any of the four heart valves are not working properly it can interfere with blood flow as well as force the heart to work harder to supply the necessary blood to the rest of the body.
It leaves sufferers at greater risk of heart failure and sudden cardiac death.
Surgeons can replace a malfunctioning valve with a mechanical one, or a valve made from cow, pig or human heart tissue.
Sir Mick was spotted on Sunday playing on a beach in Miami in the US state of Florida with ballerina girlfriend Melanie Hamrick, 31, two-year-old son Deveraux, and daughter Georgia May, 27.
Sir Mick’s team have pointed to his “meticulous” health regime as “compelling” evidence he will bounce back from the surgery.
He runs up to eight miles a day, cycles, and does yoga, kickboxing and ballet.
