“Good” and “Thank you” is what he told a TMZ reporter when asked about how he felt.
“When I go to a fundraiser, it’s like Santa Claus at Macy’s: Everyone wants to sit on my lap and have a photo taken,” he told organizers of a ballet fundraiser, according to the newspaper, which cited a source. He also went there to “congratulate the performers right after,” said the person.
Melanie Hamrick, his girlfriend, said that Jagger was “doing great” and “thank goodness,” AP reported.
“It was cute,” she told AP his backstage speech and visit. “He wanted to watch the piece. It was really special that he was there and able to see it. It feels good (for the dancers) when the choreographer and the person who wrote the music are watching you. It gave everyone an extra special feeling.”
Last week, Jagger wrote in an April 11 Facebook that he was on “a walk in the park.”
“Jagger will need to rest after completing the transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), sources say. The minimally invasive procedure allows Jagger to avoid major surgery—doctors are able to repair the heart valve using a catheter that accesses a major artery without opening the chest,” Billboard.com reported.
“Love you Dada,” his daughter, Georgia May Jagger, wrote. His son Lucas Jagger placed four red heart emojis in the comments section.
Earlier this year, the Rolling Stones announced the band would postpone its North America tour.
