Jagger would be recovering at the New York-Presbyterian Hospital. Nurses would monitor him closely for signs of complication, reports Billboard.

The procedure that he had had did not oblige the doctors to open his chest. Instead, they used a catheter to access a main artery and repair the damaged valve.

Jagger will need a lot of rest after completing the transcatheter aortic valve (TAVR) replacement, sources say.

Jagger said he was "devastated" for having to postpone the tour.
