On Friday, the Rolling Stones settled a dispute with insurers over a $12.7m (£7.9m) claim for concerts postponed when Jagger's girlfriend died.
But the band expressed concern about private information
being made public.
Documents revealed Mick Jagger was suffering from "acute
traumatic stress disorder" following L'Wren Scott's death.
The fashion designer took her own life in March, prompting
the Stones to postpone a tour of Australia and New Zealand.
Court documents suggested frontman Jagger was advised by
doctors not to perform for at least 30 days.
"We are deeply upset that confidential medical and
other private information about members of the band and their immediate family
and loved ones has entered the public domain as a result of a US court filing
initiated by insurers four weeks ago," said a spokesman for Jagger.
L'Wren Scott L'Wren Scott's designs were worn by celebrities
including Madonna, Nicole Kidman and Penelope Cruz
"This was done without the knowledge of the band or
reference to their legal representatives.
"This has only been discovered and reported in the
press in the last week, by which time we are pleased to say the insurers and
the Rolling Stones had, in fact, settled the insurance claim."
"No further comment will be made about this
matter," the statement concluded.
The group had taken out a policy to be paid in the event
shows were cancelled due to the death of family members or others, including
Scott.
Underwriters had contested the claim saying Scott's death
may not be covered by the policy, arguing that she may have been suffering from
a pre-existing mental illness which could invalidate the policy.
The Rolling Stones began a new tour of Australia and New
Zealand at the end of last month, but were forced to cancel their Melbourne
concert last weekend after Jagger, 71, developed a throat infection.
The group performed at the Allphones Arena in Sydney on
Wednesday. They will continue their tour with a concert in Hunter Valley over
the weekend.
