With her billowing black stage outfits and esoteric lyricism, Stevie Nicks gained a witchy reputation in her years helming legendary rock band Fleetwood Mac. However, the “Gold Dust Woman” singer didn’t need to rely on dark forces in order to have a long, storied career. Now 77, Nicks is still singing about messy, complicated love to entirely new generations. Unfortunately, the husky-voiced Grammy winner has had to put a pin in touring for now.

“I can’t wait to get back on the road with you…see you soon,” Nicks wrote, sharing a revised list of concert dates. “Love, Stevie.”
In an Aug. 1 release posted to Nicks’ social media accounts, LiveNation announced that the “Stand Back” singer “will require recovery time” after fracturing her shoulder. Incidentally, she must postpone nine upcoming concerts scheduled for August and September.
Nicks’ recovery will affect shows in Detroit; Saint Paul, Minnesota; Toronto; Brooklyn, New York; Boston; Cincinnati; Columbia, South Carolina; Tampa, Florida; and Hollywood, Florida. She is currently planning an Oct. 1 return to the stage at Moda Center in Portland, Oregon. “Please note that October dates will be unaffected,” the statement read.
LiveNation advised fans to hold onto their tickets, as they will be honored on the new date. “Stevie looks forward to seeing everyone soon and apologizes to the fans for this inconvenience,” the statement concluded.
