Could this be the beginning of a new album?

[RockALittle250]

As we all have come to know, Stevie Nicks lost her father on Wednesday, August 10th. Her tour is now officially over, and she has returned home to be with her family in their time of mourning. Stevie's most powerful and emotional songs have come out of the worst and saddest times of her life. At this time, Stevie's family, friends, and fans look up to her to stay strong and not give up her dream. Does anyone (besides me) think that this tragedy could re-open the door for Stevie to release another solo album, and have it dedicated to her father, and the impact he has had on her life?

[gldstwmn]

Quite possible. :)

[DrummerDeanna]

Anything is possible - I'm sure she's writing like mad around this time as emotions are probably high.

[diamondsnake]

That is exactly what I thought when I read her letter/poem about her Dad on the Nicksfix. I am sure we will see those words in a new song on a new album. Like you said, tragedy and heartache generally kickstart her songs. Perhaps her life was just too carefree for her to write anything that she felt was substantial the last few years. I think she is going to want to write something and put something out to remember her father.

my thoughts exactly!!! That was the first thing that ran through my head when I heard about her dad dying. I know that is probably one of the worst things to think of at a time like this, but it is sad and exciting all at the same time!!!

[LiquidBlue5000]

ok people.. let's not get tacky about this ;)

Stevie just lost her father of almost 60 years... i think writing new songs and coming out with a new album is probably the furthest thing from her mind right now...

is it possible that this great loss will inspire her?? perhaps... but on the same token, it may make her reflect on her home life and want to spend more time with her mom from now on - thus no new album, no new songs, no new tours..

[DrummerDeanna]

Well shit - we're not saying she should put out a new album tomorrow :rolleyes:

I think all people are saying is that in the past Stevie has been inspired to write beautiful things out of tragic and/or sad things that have happened in her life and/or the lives of family and friends.

yeah, i know... i just think it's a little too soon to be talking about this.. and also that it could in fact have the opposite effect on her than it has in the past..

[DrummerDeanna]

Well anything is possible....no one is saying that now that her dad has died she should start writing :shrug:

If someone wants to discuss future possibilities more power to them - I don't really think anyone is saying anything tacky or innapropriate. We're just saying that the Stevie as we know her is a prolific writer - I think it's very cathartic for her to write- and that some of her best material has come out of sorrow :shrug:

[wolfontherun]

When a parent dies they leave a part of themselves with their loved ones, and they also take a part of their loved ones with them.

I hope we havent lost any of the Stevie we all know and love.

Intersesting that this tour was her best in years and years. Maybe she knew things were about to change drastically.

[SteveMacD]

I think it's really hard to speculate at this time how it will affect Stevie. Christine retired when her dad passed, Lindsey became a rock star a few years after his dad passed, and Mick appeared to go nuts for a few years after his dad passed. It's such an individual thing that it's hard to know what Stevie's next move will be. I bet she stays in the biz, though.

[Johnny Stew]

I told Joshua the other day that I wouldn't be surprised if Stevie retires now or very soon.
The death of Christine's father seemed to exacerbate her desire to quit touring and to spend more time at home with loved ones, and I can see the passing of Mr. Nicks having the same effect on Stevie.

On the flip-side, Mr. Nicks always had a "the show must go on" attitude, so maybe Stevie will be more determined than ever to get her music out there, to honor her father's spirit.

[nwestohiofan]

She is an 'artist'....'artists' are inspired to creat art....there will be more of Stevie to come.

[diamondsnake]

Whaaat? :shrug:

[wolfontherun]

To what?

Sorry i should have elaborated a bit. If she knew he didnt have much time left, she may have saw this tour as her last chance to perform without the heartache of the loss of a parent.

One still has a certain amount of innocence when both parents are alive, some of it goes away when they do. Iv never seen her have so much fun on stage, she was everthing really, playfull, sexy, girlish, intense, visibly emotional.

Not saying those things will go away, but she will never be the same and I think she knew that on some level during this tour and it showed.

the fact that she seemed to have this "whats the point of recording a new album if no one is gonna buy it" attitude before all of this happened, i'm gonna say that that has probably doubled at this point...

i mean, she's sorta done it all... and her life is changing... i think it's sad that her last two solo tours have been lowlighted with two tragic events (9/11 in 2001 and now her father passing).

Psycologically, that in itself may have an effect on her...

i hope she can bounce back and continue on... but i dunno... i had the sense in Las Vegas that that was going to be her last solo concert ever.. i told everyone around me about my feeling... i hope i was wrong, but i think i could very well have been right :shrug:

I still say Stevie never said "Why make an an album if it won't sell well"... that comment was implied by the journalist- not Stevie, in my opinion.

Well, first of all, 9/11 is a different story because it was a tragedy that happened during her TISL solo tour, and was a world event. It had a major impact on her tour because some people didn't attend, and didn't buy anymore tickets. Excitment for her tour was not a priority for people anymore, and through her concerts, Stevie tried to give people hope and ease them of their pain. With her father passing, that happened after her solo tour was over, and did not have an affect on her performance during the tour, or on the amount of tickets purchesed, and excited fans attending the concerts. So to compare the two doesn't work because they are two different circumstances in which one had an affect on her 2001 TISL solo tour, and the other did not affect her just completed 2005 summer solo tour.

i beg to differ that her father didnt affect her performance on this tour... she was crying during "landslide" in Phoenix after dedicating it to her dad, so something must have been up... and while they are two completely different tragedies, they are still two tragedies that overshadowed both of her last two solo tours....

Very true, her father's illness did have an affect on her recent performances, but that doesn't automatically mean she will stop performing or recording because of the tragedy of her father's passing or the tragedy of 9/11. I think because of these two tragedies, people look up to her to stay strong, and give them hope and peace through her own self, and through her own music. (which is the one thing that keeps her strong through these hard times)

This is true, as much as I hate to say it, I don't care what anyone says, after she 'd announced to us all (in phoenix) that her dad had broken his leg, she seemed distracted, and just ready for the preformance to be over. Understandably so.

[desertangel]

Yea... I touched on this in a few threads, but nobody picked it up so I guess I should have started a "new" thread on the subject. :shrug: Or maybe it's me... I'm either too lame or I smell bad. :D

But, um.. definitely, lots of good new stuff.

I agree. I am sure she could do a benefit here and there but I have said all along, this was her last solo tour. People just do not want to believe that though. She was sooo good for reasons besides the love of it. Maybe looking forward to a new life might have been part of it.
As far as a new album goes, there will be no new album.
Oops! IMHO.

She has pretty much finally admitted that she wanted to stop recording. The stuff about "no one hearing it" was brought up by the interviewer and Stevie latched on to that. She really could not just stand up and say, "hey I dont want to complete my contractual obligations" when she owes WB two albums.
As far as staying strong for her fans, well that is just too much to put on her shoulders. 9/11 had a huge impact on Stevie's life...perhaps it made her realize she want so spend time with her loved ones even more? The loss of her Father has devastated her and she really does not have to stay strong. She lost one of her best friends, her closest family member and it is ok if she wants to fall apart for awhile. She does not owe us anything. It is certainly not her responsiblity to help us through our own tragedies, IMHO. She has done for others for decades and at this point in her life, she might be looking for something different.
Stevie trying to "stay strong" after Robin's death had tragic consequences. She needs time to grieve, time to reflect and time to relax. An album is the last thing on her mind. Writing is probably very theraputic and she is most likely writing like a mad woman. However, that does not mean she will turn her constant writing into new songs. Stevie will always write.


Did someone say above that her performance was not affected this tour by her Dad's illness?? Wow. Of course it was.

[irishgrl]

"....sometimes even I am allowed to fall......."

[tynan88]

Hmmm its sad to think she might retire, I have never seen her perform...I have never anticipated a new album but I want her to be happy, and if retiring makes her happy so be it, but unless Stevie has changed I think she will always want to perform and create, it seems in her spirit but either way I totally respect her choice.

I'm not saying that she owes us anything. All i'm saying is that she has represented a strong shoulder to lean on through hard times in many people's lives, whether it be family, friends, or fans. And of coarse she has the right to grieve...because she just lost her father of almost 60 years! All i'm saying is that it does not mean that she will automatically leave the music business because of it. Does she have the right to if she decides to do so...yes, because no one is stopping her, and if she feels that she has done all she can do for this business, than she has the right to retire and live her life as she pleases. Do i want her to retire...no, but if she feels that it is time to, i totally respect that, because it is her life, and she is in charge of it.

[HejiraNYC]

Wait a minute... what's up with all of this talk about retirement and packing it in, etc.? There was that ONE interview she gave where the interviewier added his own spin about the future of her recording career. But what about all of those other interviews earlier in the tour where Stevie was quoted as being in a really great place in her life and that she was excited about the future and that she had a lot of good years left in her, and that she would be doing this until she has to be wheeled onstage? What about the "Rhiannon" project? What about the Australian orchestral tour? It just doesn't make any sense to me why everybody thinks this is the end of the end :shrug:.

As for the death of her father, it has definitely been a profoundly horrible loss for the family. But it seems like it was a while coming. And even though many may feel that Stevie is fragile and lives in a fantasy world, even she is "real" enough to understand death and mortality. And she, just like most everyone else in the world, realizes that losing a parent is just one of those inevitable aspects of life. It happens. It's terribly sad, but it's not tragic. And she can take comfort in knowing that Jess left the world knowing that his daughter had turned her life around and was going to be okay after all. It doesn't stop her for her. If anything, I think she will be inspired anew to sing new songs about her father to new audiences.

These very same discussions have been going on related to Fleetwood Mac for how long now? She herself has constantly said she will never stop. Fleetwood Mac has been officially over numerous times. And when was the last Fleetwood Mac album? Tour?

Agreed. She is not done yet. We will see another solo album and tour, at least one of each. She has stated over and over that she will keep on rocking until she physically cannot, and I do not think she is there yet!

[Rickypt]

ok people.. let's not get tacky about this ;)


You called it, and I don't think you needed to add a winky to soften your message.

If I were Stevie, the last thing I'd want my fans doing is speculating on how I'm going to funnel my grief and making predictions on whether I'll do a new album or retire.

I think the only thing to do is offer condolences, make a donation to AHI if possible, and then chill out and let the woman grieve. This talk is disrespectful, whether she is aware of conversations here or not.

Not to mention, I don't think she's the type of performer to retire without a farewell tour and/or album. That just wouldn't be cool to the fans and she luvs her fans. She knows how much her fans luv her. MHO.

oh come off it. chill out. Even though I'm not participating in this thread, this is ridiculous, in my opinion. There is absolutely nothing disrespectful about talking about how the death of Stevie's father may be fueling Stevie's creativity. Some of you need to decide which side of the fence you're on...one minute we're talking about Jess' death too much and then this. No one's speculating, simply talking about what Stevie may be feeling or doing to cope. Everyone is getting their panties in a wad in every damn post these days. Sheesh.

I can see how someone MAY take some of the comments within this thread and run with them, but they've all offered clarification to show that they are not being disrespectful or not being sympathetic. What should we discuss? Maybe there should be a list of approved post topics...(this is a joke)

If you don't like the banter going on within a thread, don't participate, but I really really don't think this thread is or even hints at disrespect. My 2 cents.

I visualize her going off to Hawaii to recharge her batteries, both emotionally and physically, after things have settled down a bit in AZ and she feels as though she can leave. She seems to do that when she needs to unwind....Then i think we'll see her popping back up on the horizon after the holidays.

[ELIUD]

My money is on Stevie doing ONE more solo album, purely out of obligation to Reprise. It'll have at least one song about her father, be dedicated to him and receive lukewarm to positive reviews (although we the fans will be all "it's the best album ever OMG OMG!!!"). Then she'll be officially semi-retired, only doing live appearances at Shery Crow concerts.

[AliceLover]

I don't see Stevie doing any more solo albums. I think the Vegas, Two Voices, and Gold Dust Tour was a great way to end her solo career IMO. Some vegas shows here and there will be great, but as for another full solo tour I don't see it happening. I am pulling for a Fleetwood Mac farewell tour in hopes Christine might come back and do a few dates. ***Crosses Fingers***

[RockALittle250]

Well, the only real way to clearify this whole situation is to hear it from Stevie herself. I'm not talking about from an interview, i'm talking about a note on her website or an announcement of some form, coming directly from her. Until she feels ready to do so, we will all have to just wait and see what Stevie's plans for the future will entail. Although IMO, there is nothing wrong with discussing our own opinions on what Stevie will plan to do in the future between ourselves. :nod:

Personally I think she should, in a few weeks, go with her whole

family incognito to Europe - maybe rent a chatteau in France or

something - and finally "see the world" without having to "deal with

the road." Then forget the fans even exist, for a while ( if she

possibly could.... ) See the new Star Wars movie, dammit!

And maybe break a few glasses in the chatteau - the world will get

over it.

Then come back - wheneva it's good -

the fans will be waiting.

[Ghost_Tracker]

One other "sidebar" I'd like to add -

Stevie's a Genius !

Why don't we use that word more often to describe her talent,

and that formidable mind of hers??? :blob2:

I mean, I'm not saying she should be shipped off to MIT to do

4-dimensional CALCULUS or something, but YES, i m h o

"the G-word" definitely applies, without a doubt.

I read recently, for what it's worth, that as of 1981 she had

ENTIRE FILING CABINETS filled with unpublished songs and poems.

Point being -

a Genius like her pretty much needs to write and perform.

She'll get back to her day job when she's ready.

Maybe in a week.

Maybe in 10 years.

Anybody goin' anywhere???

Am I saying I think shes going to retire tomorrow? No. But she won't live forever.

[Mokona]

I don't know, her mom is elderly and looks a bit frail. If I had to guess, Stevie will probably stay by her mom's side for quite awhile now. She might do another Vegas show or something like that, but I have a feeling there won't be any more solo albums or major projects.

It kills me to write this, but I truly believe it, and I also truly hope I'll be proved wrong. :(

Stevie is a very strong woman. She will take some time off but she will be back with or without Fleetwood Mac.

Just my opinion........but I wouldn't think she would make the 2 voices tour a farewell....... why would she do a farewell with Don?? And also--wasn't the Gold Dust Tour unplanned?? So why would everyone think this was a way to end her solo career??? I don't know...... I'm thinking if this was the end it would have been a little more planned perhaps........ who knows though--only time will tell I guess......... I think the only reason she hesitated on the new solo album question is because she knew her fathers health was failing....... I hope this isn't the end of her career but I totally respect whatever Stevie decides :nod:

Remember who we're talking about?

Stevie freaking Nicks?

She has a LOT to say, still, and she knows that.

So chill - no?



"My mind WON'T rest,

and I don't sleep -

not even in my dreams."


nope.......and I guess that was kind of what I was trying to say...... I was just responding to what everyone else keeps saying....... but we will not know for sure until something happens...... quite frankly I'm tired of reading about it and will probably bypass this thread from now on :rolleyes: I just think her anwer to the question about the solo CD was her way of saying its not going to happen tomorrow and her way of not having to mention about her father....... and if this was her last tour then I think she would have hyped it up more and made it known...... don't you all think she would have sold more tickets if everyone KNEW this was her last tour?? Having an unplanned tour be your last tour just doesn't make sense to me......and I'm NOT agreeing that this was her last tour--just responding to what others think........ chill??? Naw--I prefer it warm myself :lol:

[RockALittle250]

Well, i'm glad to see starting this thread really got everyone to share all of their thoughts and opinions on what Stevie has planned for the future. As i said earlier, we all just have to wait for a note on Stevie's website or an announcement of some form, coming directly from her to see what her next move will be in her life.

[Ghost_Tracker]

Agreed. She is not done yet. We will see another solo album and tour, at least one of each. She has stated over and over that she will keep on rocking until she physically cannot, and I do not think she is there yet!


I don't know.

I didn't bother to read what you wrote ( no offense ).

But whoever you are,

you picked up several billion brownie points with me, at least,

for posting that quote by Courtney Love.

Way to go, and :xoxo: to C.L.

Who knew!? . . . :eek: :laugh:

But this last tour was not intended to be solely HER tour anyway - it was supposed to be a double bill - Henley and Nicks - every one of those dates - until Don backed out. Except AHI and Vegas.

As we all have come to know, Stevie Nicks lost her father on Wednesday, August 10th. Her tour is now officially over, and she has returned home to be with her family in their time of mourning. Stevie's most powerful and emotional songs have come out of the worst and saddest times of her life. At this time, Stevie's family, friends, and fans look up to her to stay strong and not give up her dream. Does anyone (besides me) think that this tragedy could re-open the door for Stevie to release another solo album, and have it dedicated to her father, and the impact he has had on her life?
She will no doubt be inspired to write about this ..it is inevitable!
Who knows..she may even record Circle Dance. Her best & most inspired songs have come from deep sorrow and tragedy..she has said so many times.

[BlackWidow]

Just my opinion........but I wouldn't think she would make the 2 voices tour a farewell....... why would she do a farewell with Don?? And also--wasn't the Gold Dust Tour unplanned?? So why would everyone think this was a way to end her solo career??? I don't know...... I'm thinking if this was the end it would have been a little more planned perhaps........ who knows though--only time will tell I guess......... I think the only reason she hesitated on the new solo album question is because she knew her fathers health was failing....... I hope this isn't the end of her career but I totally respect whatever Stevie decides :nod:
It's only over..when STEVIE SAYS.."It's over"
This was in no way her goodbye tour. Don Henley DID NOT back out of Two Voices..he had limited availability based on his committments to the Eagles Tour. I predict another Fleetwood Mac album will be next and a tour. It took her 7 years to get Trouble In Shangri-La finished. It went through many producers and different incarnations until she felt good about releasing it. I think that would be a daunting task to take on at this time in her life. A new Fleetwood Mac project would be less pressure and more support from the band.

I agree that this was not her "goodbye tour." But it's well-documented that Don Henley DID back out - he even said so himself in several published interviews. He blew off the July dates to save his voice for the Eagles re-grouping in August. Albuquerque, Phoenix and Vegas were all added after the initial June-July dates were released.

Yep - he backed out of it - so she went on for the dates, being the trooper she is :cool:

Oh, so Stevie doesn't understand the concept of saving your voice

and giving priority to the band you've been a member or for 30-odd

years??? :lol:

Whenever she talks about him, she always says, "My friend Don Henley."

Just opinion of course, but I'm sure she understood.

Could it just maybe be possible that all this went down without any

drama at all???

:shocked:

"Don: Uhm, Stevie I'm SORRY but I need to save my voice - I think

maybe I can only do shows for the first half of the tour."

"Stevie: Oh, OKAY! HEY, did you see 'Judging Amy' last night?

It was SO cool! Uh, pass me my MICROPHONE, WOULD you!?"

[David]

I can't resist jumping into the frey here -

Has Stevie said one word -

one word -

about retiring???Why do you doublespace your entire post, & line it all up in poetry/stanza format, with bizarre caesuras & enjambment? Is it an attempt on your part to simulate the look & feel of a Stevie Nicks journal?

[BlackWidow]

ok people.. let's not get tacky about this ;)

Stevie just lost her father of almost 60 years... i think writing new songs and coming out with a new album is probably the furthest thing from her mind right now...

is it possible that this great loss will inspire her?? perhaps... but on the same token, it may make her reflect on her home life and want to spend more time with her mom from now on - thus no new album, no new songs, no new tours..
those are Real Tears...she will be back..soon!

[BlackWidow]

You called it, and I don't think you needed to add a winky to soften your message.

If I were Stevie, the last thing I'd want my fans doing is speculating on how I'm going to funnel my grief and making predictions on whether I'll do a new album or retire.

I think the only thing to do is offer condolences, make a donation to AHI if possible, and then chill out and let the woman grieve. This talk is disrespectful, whether she is aware of conversations here or not.
No one is being disrespectful..chillout!

No...... I wasn't a huge Don fan before the show--and am still not!! :lol: But I definitely like him better now than I did. We did the All Access thing and were in the first row right in front of Sharon and Jana........

Were you at the dinner then?? Or did you do the less expensive package?? I honestly don't remember seeing anyone in a top hat :( I wish I would have seen you though........ maybe next time :) Sounds like you had better seats than I did even though I was in the first row and you were in the second--we were way over to the right........ I was glad to be in the first row but a little disappointed we were so far down almost to the end....... but I did get to shake Stevie's hand so that was a definite plus!! :nod: Did you take any photos?? I would love to find someone that got me shaking Stevie's hand......

[BlackWidow]

I told Joshua the other day that I wouldn't be surprised if Stevie retires now or very soon.
The death of Christine's father seemed to exacerbate her desire to quit touring and to spend more time at home with loved ones, and I can see the passing of Mr. Nicks having the same effect on Stevie.

On the flip-side, Mr. Nicks always had a "the show must go on" attitude, so maybe Stevie will be more determined than ever to get her music out there, to honor her father's spirit.
That is very true. Stevie is also very ambitious..always has been.
Her family is very important..and so is her career.

No we were not at the dinner..We had the 4 star package.Couldn;t believe our seats! kept saying wow if this is the 4 star package.whats the 5 star?? On stage??? :laugh: They were awesome seats, and it was great because the chicks to our right were never in their seats so we had lots of room to dance and carry on. I got to shake Stevies hand too..Twice..LOL> she shook my hand the one time..and she started to walk away and i yelled out...lol I Love you Stevie..and she came back to me and shook my hand again and thanked me so much..LOL Sadly I forgot to give one of my daughters my camera for the memorable moment..sighhh.. I didn;t get many good pics as there was a mean looking security guy eyeballing me most of the night..But someone got some pics from behind us..they sent me one of me standing in the aisle..(have to look hard but I can see me)LOL.. I'm hoping that more will pop up sometime..

[catinthedark]

:wavey: HI Cat..!! hey Toronto sounds good to me..now if only we could Stevie to come there!..Hey are you going to see the Stones?? :wavey:

No... No Stones show for me. FM and SN are the only ones who get the big-ticket prices from me! :) But I almost saw the Stones at a small bar near my house a few weeks ago while they were in town rehearsing. A rumour started that they were going to show up and play a few tunes; my friend and I managed to talk ourselves in, and get right up to the stage... The Stones came... but it was too crazy (word had really gotten around) and security couldn't secure the place well enough. :(

End of my almost-brush-with-Stones story. Bit of an anti-climactic end, I'm afraid. :sorry:

[DavidMn]

Whatever Stevie decides to do, she's earned it. If she decides to retire and not make anymore music, more power to her. Same goes the other way. Personally, I just feel very lucky to have been able to enjoy both the last Fleetwood Mac and Stevie solo tours. Unforgettable........

I saw the Stones in 99 in Minneapolis,and one thought I had while watching them is "Is Rod Wood still alive on stage?"

I saw that on the news..aww I should of looked for you as the news camera panned the crowd..
I wasn;t going to go the Stones either...to many people 85thousand here but now it looks like I will be going after all..I'm going to be working as a stage hand so I get to see the concert for free.. :blob1:
Off topic..did you read the Globe and Mail today?? big write up about the cbc and the strike..
