Stevie Nicks, the bewitching voice behind Fleetwood Mac’s most beloved hits, has announced the cancellation of all her concerts scheduled for August and September. The 77-year-old singer revealed she had suffered a fractured shoulder, making it impossible for her to perform in the coming weeks.
In a heartfelt statement shared on Instagram, Nicks apologised to her fans and explained the situation:
“I am so sad to have to cancel these shows, but my doctors have advised me to rest and focus on my recovery. Performing is simply not possible at this time. I promise I will be back on stage as soon as I can.”
The announcement came as a shock to her loyal fanbase, many of whom have followed her career for nearly five decades. While the injury is not life-threatening, the sombre tone of her message caused some fans to worry, briefly sparking rumours about her overall health.
Nicks, however, reassured her audience that she is still scheduled to perform her previously announced shows in October, once she is expected to have made a full recovery. These autumn performances will be a welcome return for those who feared the shoulder injury might signal a longer hiatus.
The news is particularly bittersweet given that it followed a rare piece of exciting Fleetwood Mac-related news earlier in the week. Nicks had just confirmed that her long out-of-print 1973 album Buckingham Nicks, a collaboration with then-partner and fellow Fleetwood Mac member Lindsey Buckingham, will finally be reissued.
The album holds a special place in rock history. Released before the pair joined Fleetwood Mac in 1975, Buckingham Nicks was warmly received by critics but didn’t achieve commercial success. Over the years, it has become something of a cult classic, largely because it has never been reissued, remastered, or made available on streaming services. The upcoming re-release is set to introduce a new generation to the raw, intimate sound that would later define Fleetwood Mac’s most famous era.
For now, fans are sending the singer well wishes and hoping for a speedy recovery. Social media has been flooded with messages of love and support, with one follower writing:
“You’ve given us decades of incredible music and performances, Stevie. Rest, heal, and we’ll be here when you’re ready.”
Another commented:
“We’ll miss you this summer, but your health is the most important thing. Take all the time you need.”
Known for her ethereal stage presence, poetic songwriting, and powerful live performances, Nicks has become one of rock’s most enduring icons. Whether fronting Fleetwood Mac or performing as a solo artist, she continues to draw crowds of all ages, from fans who saw her in the ’70s to those discovering her magic for the first time.
With October just around the corner, admirers are hopeful that this brief setback will only be a pause in her remarkable career. After all, as Stevie herself once sang, “time makes you bolder.”
