Instead, the US tour will commence in October, with dates in that month currently unaffected.
Taking to Instagram, a post 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 apologises to the fans for this inconvenience.”
It comes after the singer revealed an important hobby that’s “as important” as songwriting earlier this year.
Speaking to Rolling Stone, the 76 year old said: “I draw, I write songs, and I write poetry,” though it is a habit she hasn’t picked up in some time.
The Fleetwood Mac frontwoman continues: “I haven’t drawn in years, but my drawings are as important to me as my songs.”
“I’m really proud of all the stuff that I’ve done,” she said. “My drawings are very precious to me. I will, maybe next year, do a big art show.”
Sadly, Stevie revealed she was experiencing problems with her vision in 2024, having been diagnosed year and a half ago with wet macular degeneration.
he explained: “It is not a good thing. I was seeing all these colors, big things of purple. I was having, like, acid trips. And I’m going, ‘I’m not taking any acid, so I don’t understand what this is.’
“Now, every six, seven, eight, nine weeks, I have to have a shot in each one of my eyes. That’s going to be for the rest of my life.
“There’s dry macular degeneration, which my mom had. Her whole thing was doing the financial books for my dad, because she was a financial little wizard.
“When she was about 80, it was really hard for her to see. In a way, I think it killed her because she was so brokenhearted that she could no longer do this.”
Yet, it has inspired her to return to her painting, adding: “So when I got diagnosed with this, all of a sudden, I’m going like, “You know what?
“You need to finish these drawings, because what if you start to lose your sight?” I haven’t drawn in years … but my drawings are as important to me as my songs.”
