Rock legend Stevie Nicks has postponed her upcoming U.S. tour dates following a shoulder injury that will require time to heal. The 77-year-old singer-songwriter was originally set to hit the road this August, but her planned shows in August and September have now been pushed back.
In a statement shared on Nicks’ official Instagram account, the announcement read:
“Due to a recent injury resulting in a fractured shoulder that will require recovery time, Stevie Nicks’ scheduled concerts in August and September will be rescheduled. Please note that October dates will be unaffected. Stevie looks forward to seeing everyone soon and apologizes to the fans for this inconvenience.”
No additional details about the nature of the injury or revised tour dates have been released at this time.
Buckingham Nicks Reissue on the Horizon
While fans await news of rescheduled shows, there is cause for celebration: Buckingham Nicks, the sole studio album recorded by Nicks and longtime musical partner Lindsey Buckingham as a duo, is finally getting a long-awaited reissue.
Originally released in September 1973, Buckingham Nicks has been unavailable for decades. The reissue—sourced from the original master tapes—will be available for the first time on high-resolution digital formats, compact disc, and vinyl. The album was recorded at Los Angeles’ famed Sound City Studios and released just a year before both Nicks and Buckingham joined Fleetwood Mac, launching a new era for the band.
Though the record was not a commercial success upon its original release, its legacy looms large: it was this very album that caught the attention of Fleetwood Mac’s drummer and co-founder Mick Fleetwood, who invited the pair to join the group in 1974.
Fleetwood’s Hopes for Reconciliation
Despite the album’s nostalgic return, the relationship between Nicks and Buckingham remains strained. Their most recent falling out came in 2018, when Buckingham was dismissed from Fleetwood Mac in a highly publicized split. Since then, the duo has remained estranged.
Still, Mick Fleetwood holds onto hope that time might mend old wounds. Speaking to Us Weekly, the drummer shared his “fantasy” of a reconciliation:
“I always have a fantasy that [Stevie] and Lindsey would pal up a bit more and just say everything’s OK for them both. But we’ve had such an incredible career.”
Fleetwood had once envisioned a full-band reunion prior to the death of longtime bandmate Christine McVie in November 2022. McVie’s passing at age 79 left a profound impact on the group, and especially on Fleetwood himself, who admitted he’s struggled to find a new musical direction since her loss.
“I miss playing as much as we used to,” he said. “I’m hoping next year, one way or another, some band somewhere will say, come and play with drums or something.”
While Fleetwood ruled out a return to Fleetwood Mac in the near future, he left the door open to future musical endeavors—perhaps even in 2026.
