“My mum used to say to me when I was little, ‘Stevie when you’re hurt, you always run to the stage', and that’s what I’ve been doing ever since Christine [McVie] passed away.” While honouring her fallen friend and former Fleetwood Mac bandmate on what would have been her 81st birthday - McVie died suddenly from a stroke in 2022 - Stevie Nicks looks as though she’s trying to hold back tears, as she explains the reason behind why her tour schedule has been so busy.
Over recent years, Nicks has been endlessly on the road, solely performing in the US. The last time the singer-songwriter was on British soil was in 2017, when she supported another late close friend and collaborator, Tom Petty, at Hyde Park. She was additionally booked to play Glasgow and Manchester earlier this month but was forced to cancel due to injury, keen to recover in time for one of the most prestigious events in the musical calendar year.
