Axed Rolling Stones gig: Unhappy fans protest Unhappy Stones fans gathered at the State Library to vent their anger. IT'S enough to make grown men cry, with Rolling Stones fans left gutted after the cancellation of the highly anticipated Hanging Rock show. A small band of loyal Stones fans who bought tickets to tonight's gig gathered outside the State Library this evening demanding the legendary rockers reschedule the cancelled show. About 25 diehard joined the chorus of gutted fans in the CBD appealing to their beloved Stones to make changes to their touring schedule to repay fans. More than 20,000 were left devastated when the band Stones announced this week it had "no other option" but cancel the show at the treasured amphitheatre because frontman Mick Jagger suffered a throat infection. Some fans questioned the circumstances which led the band to cancelling the show. Picture: Sarah Matray Furious fans at tonight's rally said they were suspicious of the circumstances surrounding the rebellious band's cancellation, after rave reviews following Wednesday night's gig at Rod Laver Arena. "I reckon Mick doesn't have a throat problem," lifelong fan Trevor Holden said. I think they should play the concert without Mick and have Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood singing. They've been together 50 years and know all the words. They should just leave Mick in his hotel room with his Panadol. Mr Holden said he's lost $1200 after learning he's ineligible for a refund of the two $600 tickets he purchased for him and his daughter because he snapped them up on third party website eBay. Some fans said the ticket refund won't cover all their costs. The 56-year-old Cheltenham resident said he also bought tickets to the Stone's March tour, which was called off following the shock death of Jagger's girlfriend L'Wren Scott. Rob Pope, donning a belt buckle of the Stone's famous tongue and lip logo, said he had to pull his car over after hearing through the radio the band had cancelled. It's a shock. I feel gutted for me but I feel gutted for the people who have flown great distances and spent so much money to get here," Mr Pope said. Nobody wants Mick to perform with a sore throat. We're happy to wait until he recuperates but they should make the time to play. I think that's the only way to repair the good will. An Indonesian rock star devastated after travelling a total of 15,000km to see the Stones only to have them cancel - twice - insists the band should front fans before they town. Ridho Hafiedz, a member of one of the country's most successful groups, Slank, says he just wants the chance to see the men who inspired his ­career. It's crazy. I came to Australia and it happened again," said Ridho, whose band has recorded 20 studio albums and has a cult following overseas. Ridho remembers falling in love with the Stones at age nine after hearing the hit song Angie. The musician arrived at Tullamarine from Jakarta for the second time this year on Friday only to be informed the Hanging Rock concert had been canned. He said the only way fans would be mollified would be if the band met with them.
