Harry Styles made a surprise return to the stage for a touching tribute with music legend Stevie Nicks. The duo came together at Nicks' British Summer Time Hyde Park concert in London on July 12 to honor the memory of Christine McVie, the late Fleetwood Mac bandmate of Nicks. McVie, who would have turned 81 on that day, was remembered with a heartfelt rendition of Fleetwood Mac's classic song 'Landslide' and Nicks' duet with Tom Petty, 'Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around'.
Nicks expressed the significance of the moment, sharing that it was a heavy but meaningful decision to invite Styles to perform with her in memory of McVie, who passed away at the age of 79 in November 2022. The emotional performance was a tribute to the bond they shared with McVie and the love she had for her fans.
Reflecting on her grief, Nicks revealed that turning to the stage has been a source of solace for her since McVie's passing, with the support of her audience playing a crucial role in her healing process. She expressed gratitude towards Styles and the crowd for their unwavering support and understanding during this challenging time.
The concert marked Styles' first live performance in nearly a year, following the conclusion of his Love On Tour in Italy in July 2023. Nicks, a headliner for this year's British Summer Time Hyde Park series, shared the stage with a lineup of esteemed artists including Morgan Wallen, Kings of Leon, Shania Twain, SZA, Kylie Minogue, Stray Kids, and Andrea Bocelli.
