Mick Jagger buried his grief and went forward with the Rolling Stones' sold-out performance in Las Vegas Saturday (11/11) after getting word that his father died, according to various reports.

Joe Jagger, a former school teacher who Mick regarded as a great influence in his life, died of pneumonia in a hospital outside of London, according to the Associated Press. He was 93.

Mick, who has been in the US on the Stones' "Bigger Bang" tour, traveled to Britain Friday (11/10) to see his father but returned to Las Vegas later the same day after being told Joe's condition was improving, according to the Daily Mail.

But hours after his son left his bedside, Joe Jagger's condition rapidly deteriorated. Mick took the stage at the MGM Grand five hours after getting the phone call, with friends saying it was what Joe would have wanted, the Daily Mail said.

A statement on the Rolling Stones' website said, "There will be no further comment from the family at this stage and arrangements for a private funeral will be made at a later date."

A band spokesperson confirmed that the few dates left on the Stones' tour itinerary will not be affected.
