Happy Birthday to Stevie Nicks, who celebrates her 72nd birthday today (May 26th)!!! Earlier this month, Nicks revealed that she's busy working on a multimedia project based around her 1975 Fleetwood Mac classic “Rhiannon,” telling Rolling Stone, “Last year I made a pitch to everybody that when this Fleetwood Mac tour is over. I’m taking next year off because I want to work on my Rhiannon book/movie (based on the original Welsh myth that inspired her song). And I want to maybe work with some different producers. I don’t know what I want to do! I just know that I don’t want a tour! So I think it’s not as hard for me as it is for the bands that had a tour coming up this year. Because they’d be getting ready to go into rehearsal right now. So not only is your tour canceled and your rehearsal cancelled, but you’re quarantined to your house?”
She went on to explain, “I have some Rhiannon poetry that I have written over the last 30 years that I’ve kept very quiet. I’m thinking, 'Well here I have all this time and I have a recording setup.' And I’m thinking I’m going to start doing some recording. I’m going to start putting some of these really beautiful poems to music, and I have the ability to record them.”
2019 marked the year that Stevie Nicks finally entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist, and was inducted by Harry Styles. During her four-song performance, old flame Don Henley took the stage and duetted with Nicks on their 1981 classic, “Leather And Lace.”
