[B]

She was part of the band, “Challenging Times” and collaborated with Lindsey Buckingham before joining Fleetwood Mac.!
She was in a band called "The Changing Times" before she joined "Fritz"..maybe they revised the name to keep up with the times.

Stevie Nicks Fears She Will Not Sing Again after Contracting COVID-19 – Why Does She Think So?


Her grandfather Aaron Nicks, a renowned country singer, was the one who bought her first guitar and taught her how to play famous country songs.
$he ain't singing much anyway these days. I've got video of her attempting Edge of 17 last New Years, without her backup singers. It was awful!

Grandpa was "renown"? Does renown have a new updated definition?

It saddens me to read how scared Stevie is. My oldest sister is a couple of years younger than Stevie and she shares the same terrible fear. Like Stevie, my sister has not left her home. Her son does all the grocery shopping for her. I work as a janitor and after 2 and a half months of living in fear I decided to go back to work the first week of June. It was like falling off the horse and getting right back on even tho you are scared. I'm so glad I made the decision to return to my regular routine. I'm still cautious but I'm no longer terrified. Staying home and hiding away from the world will keep u terrified. Stevie has always said when she writes songs, she tries to give a feeling of hope in each tune. I'd like to read in the next journal entry she offers us, some semblance of hope for her fans. There is help coming our way. The Russians claim to have a vaccine already and others have said they are in phase 3 of vaccine trials. With so many scientists working around the clock for a vaccine, I truly believe one will be discovered and I look forward to that day. I also wish everyone would go back to work. If one person at your job gets covid, then everyone connected can go home for 2 weeks. The moral of my story is hope.

Stevie's communication style certainly has a dramatic flair, but overall, taking this virus *too* seriously is not the problem we've had here in the US.

I support the quarantine, but I am sad for the people who are ending their lives locked up and isolated. My mother is 83 and she’s in a different state. Maybe I will move her out here next year. I don’t worry about her getting it, but I do worry about how being cut off from friends and family has affected her emotionally.

Amid all the despair, some things have changed for the better. I think of Stevie’s Edge walk. She wore gloves as she touched the fevered fans, but then she would go over to Sharon and Lori and rub the Ebola-infested gloves all over them. Even when she was held by the waist for safety, the Edge walk was never a good idea. Nor was it a good idea for Libdsey to throw sweaty towels into the audience, even if fans asked. I am glad that is over.

Oh you guys that stand at concerts, you will get your comeuppance. Even when live shows return, they aren’t going to let you crowd the stage anymore. They aren’t going to let you push and flail. You are going to have to keep your seats now. I will be in heaven. Justice will reign.

Early into this, I posted something on FB about people being lonely. "Friends" that live in house with OTHER PEOPLE would say, "Oh, just get over it". There's a huge difference in being quarantined in solitude, and doing the same in a house with several other people. For people who live alone, and no longer have their "social hours" with others, this can be a prison.

Even when/if we get a vaccine, you don't think we'll be able to crowd stages again, or have Stevie rub her virus encrusted gloves all over her girls?

I think there will be a residue of caution even when we get the vaccine, because we’ll be aware that another unforeseeable virus can attack again, even if we get this one under control. For us, this is new, but other countries had it really bad with SARS. Now we know that we are not
invulnerable.

I agree that for a while we'll be cautious, as well we should be.

I wonder what how things played out after the Spanish Flu subsided? Months of caution? Years? Of course it was a different time, not being bombarded with news 24/7...

LB aside( since he was unceremoniously pushed aside) The only likely "new " music we will be getting from the remainder of the Rumours 5 is if they are reincarnated.

June 23rd, when my roses were almost touching Christine's toes! (stage was at least 5 feet high, and I was pushing them as far as I could, yet they were still a couple inches from touching her toes)

The album was released 14 days before that, and I listened to NOTHING but that for those 14 days. I know how much more enjoyable a concert is when you know all the songs, so I had 14 days to learn them!

Sucks that happened. I actually saw the exact thing happen during her 1984 solo concert. There was this guy at the far end of the stage that had a giant white box of red roses with a giant bow, etc. She was saying goodnight and even the small crowd was trying to get her attention to see the guy at the far end of the stage. She never saw him. However, some stage guy saw this and took the box and went back stage. So we can assume she got them.
