Concerts scheduled by Stevie Nicks are delayed.
Stevie Nicks, the iconic rock legend, has announced a two-month pause in her current North American tour. The shows that were scheduled for August and September have been postponed due to a shoulder injury sustained by the Fleetwood Mac vocalist 1.
Nicks, who is 77 years old, revealed the news on her Instagram account. She posted a heartfelt message to her fans, expressing her regret for the inconvenience caused and assuring them that she is taking the necessary time to recover fully.
The postponement comes at a significant time for Nicks, who announced in April that she is working on a new album. The inspiration for this new project came after the devastating fires in Los Angeles in January, which forced Nicks to evacuate her home in the Pacific Palisades neighbourhood and stay in a hotel for several months 2.
Despite the setback, Nicks remains optimistic. She hopes to resume her North American tour in early October, provided her recovery progresses as planned.
In a separate development, Nicks is also set to re-release her 1973 album "Buckingham Nicks" with her former boyfriend Lindsey Buckingham. The re-release, scheduled for mid-September, is a collaboration between the two musicians 3. It is important to note that this project is separate from Nicks' new album.
Nicks, who was the lead singer of Fleetwood Mac during the "Rumours" era, gained success both with the band and as a solo artist, releasing the album "Bella Donna." Her enduring popularity and influence in the music industry continue to captivate fans worldwide.
