Stevie Nicks Cancels Performance and Celebration of First CD in a Decade

Rock's Reigning Queen Suffering From Pneumonia

NEW YORK, May 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Stevie Nicks, whose highly anticipated new CD "In Your Dreams" - scheduled to be released tomorrow May 3rd, has had to cancel several upcoming appearances in New York due to coming down with pneumonia and the flu. Her doctor informed her over the weekend that she needed to "stay in bed and not fly" until she gets better. Nicks was scheduled to perform at a star studded event thrown in her honor by her record label Reprise Records at NY's Webster Hall on May 4th and was also planning on appearing on the Today Show and Good Day NY on May 3rd.

"I want to apologize to all my fans and hope that we can reschedule and of course I hope you love the new album. It's for you," commented Nicks.

"The gypsy queen is in royal form on 'In Your Dreams' — it's not just her first album in 10 years, it's her finest collection of songs since the Eighties," commented Rolling Stone in its review of Nicks' new CD.

[PenguinHead]

That really sucks! Sometimes it's a Bitch!

[jannieC]

Poor Stevie- all of this (positive) stress caught up with her. I am also sorry for the fans who were so looking forward to this event. What a bummer for everyone. :distress:

[Artemis]

Oh my, I feel so sorry for those who spent money on tickets, travel, accommodation, etc. It's not like Stevie to cancel (as far as I know) so she must be really ill. How awful that it fell on the week her album is released :(

[Deniedwings]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[mezzoforte]

NOOOOOOOO.


Blurgh, frack, nerds. I don't even know how to deal with this.

[llb]

:eek: What about Atlantic City?!?

[Deniedwings]

I'm so disappointed and I feel so so horrible for all you people traveling from far away to see her. I wonder if it will be rescheduled?

[wheart]

this feels like a really bad dream...

[LineInTheSand]

I assume she will try to reschedule for later in May -- but I suspect all her events this week and likely next will be postponed if she has pnuemonia. That's scary. I feel so bad for everyone who purchased tickets and is en route to NYC.

[kak125]

ugh how awful for her to get so sick right when her new cd comes out. she wont be able to do any press for it now. i feel so bad for everybody that bought tickets. that sucks so bad!

[ontheEdgeof17]

Bummer.....

[Gypsybecca]

I'm leaving for New York later today....as disappointed as I am, I'm very worried about Stevie. At her age pneumonia can be serious...well, I guess at any age?

Stevie! Get well soon.

[GypsySorcerer]

Oh, no. :( What awful timing! I'm sorry for everyone who spent money on tickets and travel. :distress: Hope she recovers quickly!

[UnwindedDreams]

i feel bad for Stevie and those who are traveling. i hope they can reschedule

[Bryan]

She caught those germs from Perez..

[Travis]

I am so sorry to all of you that were going to Webster Hall. So very sorry. I traveled all the way to NC for the Behind the Mask tour from MD to see them only to find out the very same day the show was canceled. I've been thru it too.

[WildHeart69]

HOLY CRAP! :shocked:

[henryscutter]

Yeah I recently had bi-lateral pneumonia and had to spend 5 days in the hospital. Even when your in your thirties it sucks. Hopefully she has a more mild case, I cant imagine trying to sing with this condition :confused: God speed on the recovery

[DarkUponLight]

She caught those germs from Perez..

ROFLMAO!!!! :lol::lol::lol::lol:

[LikeAWillow]

I'm so incredibly sad, and I feel like I have the least right to be. I've spent about thirty dollars on this show, but I know friends for whom the number is near five hundred.

[Richard B]

Oh noes. This blows for all of you going. I hope those that are en route already to NYC can still make something good of your trip. Hope all gets rescheduled anyway.

On another note, I had a sneaky feeling it was going to be taped. I think Dave wants to include live stage performances for his film. The Grand Ball Room would be good compliment to his already filmed studio shots. Just guessing though.

[jellyman10]

What awful bad luck. I'm sorry for all you guys who were going to see her, but mostly I'm just hoping she gets better soon. Poor lass. :distress:

[10milestereo]

I'm so incredibly sad, and I feel like I have the least right to be. I've spent about thirty dollars on this show, but I know friends for whom the number is near five hundred.
I think we all have a right to be. I'm so sorry she's ill and I hope this can be rescheduled. I expect there will be an announcement of how to obtain refunds soon.

[louielouie2000]

Poor Danielleaaarisen... she just text messaged me she'd gotten to La Guardia, and I had to tell her the bad news. She scraped together all of her pennies and flew all the way from Seattle just to go to the Webster Hall show!

Anyone else remember the SAME THING happening with Stevie around the release of TISL? She had to cancel many shows because of bronchitis, I believe it was.

[Jondalar]

what about the Today Show and stuff.

[wayner]

Poor Danielleaaarisen... she just text messaged me she'd gotten to La Guardia, and I had to tell her the bad news. She scraped together all of her pennies and flew all the way from Seattle just to go to the Webster Hall show!

I was just thinking about her, what a bummer

[RickRobert]

Poor Danielleaaarisen... she just text messaged me she'd gotten to La Guardia, and I had to tell her the bad news. She scraped together all of her pennies and flew all the way from Seattle just to go to the Webster Hall show!

Oh GOSH :distress:

[louielouie2000]

what about the Today Show and stuff.

Reread the article... her doctor told her to stay in bed and not fly... seeing how she lives in LA and the Today show etc is in NYC, those are off the table too.

[kak125]

i feel so bad for Danielleaaarisen. she seemed just so excited to be able to go to this show. how awful for her and for you all of you that bought tickets. i remember stevie being sick when she was touring for TISL. i found 2 - 4th row center tickets for the show in virginia one night on tm and figured since we would be in the area on vacation that we would go to the show. i remember coming back from the beach and my brother in-law said he heard on the radio that the show was canceled because stevie was sick. my heart sank and i was just sooo upset! thank goodness she got better and i was able to catch her in columbus later on in the tour but i wont ever forget that feeling.

[Travis]

I hate to say this but my feeling is that AC will be canceled too. For her to do that show may be too soon. They made that mistake during the TISL tour the first time she was sick. She got ill again and had to cancel more shows. She should just rest and do a CD re-launch at the end of the month.

[vivfox]

I feel so bad for people like Dani that have traveled so far to see these performances. May our prayers be with Stevie for her quick recovery.:angel:

[johnb84]

Damn dude. First off, I hope Stevie gets better and takes the time she needs. This is not good for the week of her album...when she needs to be seen and heard. Worst timing ever!

BUT - all these folks flying around the country and shelling out money for the ticket and hotel and flight and everything. I feel so bad for them. Everyone. And even if it is rescheduled those people likely can't make the trip again.

What's the point of a CD Launch like a month later? Just officially cancel it so everyone can get refunds asap. Sad. This could have been momentous and historical.

[DefDumbandBlond]

I hope Stevie feels better soon :distress: what a sad thing to happen the week of her album release.

[Travis]

Maybe my words are misinterpreted. I’m simply saying that maybe at the end of the month there can be a week where Stevie can make TV appearances. I know not everyone will be able to travel again. It sucks all around, for everyone and Stevie. Not sure what you mean officially cancel “it.” Cancel what exactly? The CD is coming out tomorrow, that can’t be canceled, if that is what you are referring to. I just fear that if Stevie tries to do a show this Friday in AC it may be too soon. She may not be fully recovered and she’ll just end up getting sick again.

[ontheEdgeof17]

I just fear that if Stevie tries to do a show this Friday in AC it may be too soon. She may not be fully recovered and she’ll just end up getting sick again.

I don't see her flying out here for one show and back again. I could be wrong, but I see it being canceled.

[DarkUponLight]

I feel sooooo bad for all those who've already arrived in NYC & spent so much money to get there & make their hotel reservations. But, on the bright side, Stevie is VERY dedicated to her fans & when this show is rescheduled, I'm sure she will go out of her way to make it worth all the time, trouble & expense. You might even get some give-aways that you wouldn't have gotten otherwise. So, try to be optimistic, even tho I know you're probably crushed, pissed & worried about Stevie right now, it's hard to do, but I don't see her NOT rescheduling & making it up in a BIG way. ;)

[krrrby]

Damn You Rod Stewart And Your Damn Flu!

[Deniedwings]

Poor Danielleaaarisen... she just text messaged me she'd gotten to La Guardia, and I had to tell her the bad news. She scraped together all of her pennies and flew all the way from Seattle just to go to the Webster Hall show!

Poor girl :( She was the first one I thought of.

Call me pessimistic but in the back of my head I kept thinking that something would happen and the show would be cancelled.

[Jondalar]

Many of you know my mom has been ill. She is 75. She started having troubles in her early 60s. Small illnesses like the flu were not so small. Stevie needs to take really good care of herself, especially since she is in constant contact with sooo many people and sooo many germs. If she has Pneumonia that could be very life threatening, especially at her age.

[johnb84]

She may not be fully recovered and she’ll just end up getting sick again.
My comments weren't really directed at yours or anything. I was just saying that if the venue would officially cancel the show, then people can get refunds sooner than later. Agree with everything else you said. And yes, it sucks for Stevie too. I hope she feels better soon.

I feel sooooo bad for all those who've already arrived in NYC & spent so much money to get there & make their hotel reservations. But, on the bright side, Stevie is VERY dedicated to her fans & when this show is rescheduled, I'm sure she will go out of her way to make it worth all the time, trouble & expense.

See. I think Stevie lives in such a fantasy world that she's pretty disconnected from her fans in that way. She is dedicated and loves her fans, but I haven't seen evidence that she's one to really go over the top to make anything up to her fans.

Damn You Rod Stewart And Your Damn Flu!
HAHA. I can't say I didn't think this at one point.

[GavinBrown]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo

[johnb84]

I don't see her flying out here for one show and back again. I could be wrong, but I see it being canceled.
I agree with you and Travis. I think people with tickets to AC better perk up.

[HejiraNYC]

I'm not so confident about a reschedule. I mean, the whole point of this thing was to have a big party, get notices in the music press and possibly even film footage. A month from now IYD will probably be well on its descent off the charts. The horse has almost left the barn and Stevie is not riding on it. :distress:

[Hawkeye]

Stevie needs to take really good care of herself, especially since she is in constant contact with sooo many people and sooo many germs. If she has Pneumonia that could be very life threatening, especially at her age.

I didn't want to bring it up but that thought crossed my head. Bernie Mac died from complications from Pneumonia at age 50. I'm very sad first of all for those like Dani who flew from Seatle to NYC on borrowed money and even for thos like me just dying to hear what new songs she was gonna play and how they turned out, but the Stevie health issue trumps all of that. She better be taking every precaution and better not set foot on a stage or do one bit of CD promotion until she's 100 percent.

In fact we should tweet Dave to make sure he doesnt allow her to go back to work 1 second too soon.

[Jondalar]

Didn't Rod Stewart have the flu?

[jellyman10]

Y'know, this CD is the biggest thing to happen to Stevie in a decade. She was absolutely stoked about it. Everything was going great. So if she cancels on the eve of the official launch, then that means she's really sick, and while I have sympathy for people who're losing time and money, I can't help thinking it's not the big picture. I'm seeing some pretty angry and selfish stuff going on over on Twitter right now, but all I can think of is that I want her to be OK.

[darklinensuit]

A month from now IYD will probably be well on its descent off the charts. The horse has almost left the barn and Stevie is not riding on it. :distress:

Not necessarily. This could be a way for some more publicity down the road, esp. if Dave decides to film the event. I think Stevie should now do something extra for it - like perform the whole album instead of just 6 new songs.

In any event, I feel bad for everybody who spent the $ and made the trip. And I'm sure Stevie is feeling frustrated as hell. Bet she's glad Oprah had her on weeks ago.

- Jake

[johnb84]

Obviously everyone wants her to be OK and go nowhere until she is fully healed.

But people have a right to be upset at the situation...NOT Stevie.

[SapphireSister]

"Everything happens for a reason, stay clear."

[skcin]

Didn't Rod Stewart have the flu?

That's what they said. :shrug: I don't know if he really did (and if she really does) cuz media throws the term "flu" around pretty loosely. It's a bit late in the season to get it, but not impossible esp. if she's been traveling lately.

If she truly does have physician-diagnosed flu & pneumonia, then it's nothing to f*ck with & she really should not perform.

I feel sick for those of you who had tix, esp. those traveling to get there. :sorry:

[RockAlot]

Wow! Poor Dani, she was almost there! Sending best wishes to you miss Nicks!

I'm wondering if she'll make it to the Indio show on the 13th, I have 4th row tickets!!

However I can still canc. hotel rsvp etc. if she canc.

[CreepingDeath]

I hope she gets well soon.

I remember when she had to cancel a TISL show I was going to here in Las Vegas, when she rescheduled, she played two days instead of just one. Maybe something like that will happen.

I know it wouldn't make up for this, though. I feel really bad for you guys. :(

[StandbackStevie]

I am really sorry for everyone that made travel plans and accomadations to go to the show and wish Stevie a speedy recovery and hopefully she will reschedule the Webster Hall Show soon. Stevie has my prayers going out to her and hope she gets well soon Pneumonia and flu together is not good, I get bronchitis had that about 2 weeks ago with the bad allergies and sinus infections. Ugh:(:shocked::eek::(:(:(

[StevieRox81]

Well, first I hope Stevie gets better soon. Pneumonia really freaks me out. What awful timing. :( This week really was going to be historic for her. :(

Second...I am so incredibly bummed out. I just cancelled my hotel reservations for NYC.

I called her PR office and asked about The Borgata show...as of right now, it is tentatively still on...not going to cancel my train and AC hotel reservations yet. The girl I spoke to at Liz's office was just as bummed as we all are about the show on Wednesday...it was going to be really special. :(

So sad those of us that were going on Wednesday won't be able to celebrate the album release with Stevie...sending "get well wishes" Stevie's way!!!

I'm bumed but I'm hopeful for a reschedule and hope she gets well soon....

[RockAlot]

Poor Danielleaaarisen... she just text messaged me she'd gotten to La Guardia, and I had to tell her the bad news. She scraped together all of her pennies and flew all the way from Seattle just to go to the Webster Hall show!

Yes, I went to the Mt. View (Calif) show annd it wasnt till I was checking into the motel that the clerk told me the show had been canceled!!

A few weeks later saw her at the Santa Barbara show, her first few songs you could hera it in her voice she had been/still was sick however she did the rest of the show in true Stevie spirt!!!

[daniellaaarisen]

I'm in NYC right now... I can't believe I just spent $1000 on this for no reason. I'm literally I'm shock...

And I spent $75 on urgent care yesterday to get antibiotics for a bad sinus infection.... what am supposed to do now, stay in NYC? Fly home? Ugh.

[Lee]

Yeah, thanks a lot, Rod!

Poor Stevie. Hope she recovers quickly. I remember getting pneumonia in eighth grade. Missed two weeks of school & coughed my head off. I imagine that it's even harder on an older person. :distress:

I was going to tape The Today Show tomorrow since I'd be @ work.

Yeah, sorry to all the people going to her shows, too.

Get well soon, Stevie!

Lee :(

[SapphireSister]

I'm so sorry for Stevie and all of her fans...

[jannieC]

Poor Danielleaaarisen... she just text messaged me she'd gotten to La Guardia, and I had to tell her the bad news.
Same here. I felt awful texting her the news. What a mess.

I really feel terribly for Stevie and I'm keeping her in my thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. Her CD will do okay- she just needs to take care of herself and get well.

[Jondalar]

I'm in NYC right now... I can't believe I just spent $1000 on this for no reason. I'm literally I'm shock...

And I spent $75 on urgent care yesterday to get antibiotics for a bad sinus infection.... what am supposed to do now, stay in NYC? Fly home? Ugh.

I feel soooo sorry for you. :(

(maybe take in some sights)

[GavinBrown]

They HAVE to reschedule this show!!!!! Ughhhhhhh but if they do itll have to be this month!

[johnb84]

I'm in NYC right now... I can't believe I just spent $1000 on this for no reason. I'm literally I'm shock...

And I spent $75 on urgent care yesterday to get antibiotics for a bad sinus infection.... what am supposed to do now, stay in NYC? Fly home? Ugh.
I bet you are in shock. It is SO sad. The thing is, if you are able to get your money back for your tickets, your flight and hotel and other expenses won't be refunded.

Try to have a good time - somehow - and then just go home when you were originally going home. May as well make use of the hotel/flight.

[Deniedwings]

I cant imagine how you are feeling now, but you're already there so make the most of it. Surely there are things you want to see/do in NYC!

[WildHeart69]

This sucks for a lot of people on a lot of levels... but can a big ledgie party be arranged? I just feel so bad for all of you because I know how I would feel (and I feel pretty horrible about it to begin with!)

Maybe you can all attend NOTS together instead??

[Ghost_Tracker]

I completely understand how everybody's feeling and that their heart's in the right place. But I'd like to emphasize the "Guys - Stevie's sick!" angle of this. i.m.o. we should focus on the positive - at least she's not in the hospital. Maybe for somebody as physically fit and strong as her who's not 70 yet, it's not literally life-threatening - but it's starting to kinda-sorta-almost get into that kind of territory. i.m.o. if a doctor were asked flat-out by a family member, he or she would say something like, "Yes - I'm somewhat concerned."
Hopefully the shows will be re-scheduled.

[Stephanie]

Poor stevie. I was able to cancel my hotel w/ no fee and flight delta charged me $150 fee so thats that. So sad~!

[HejiraNYC]

I'm in NYC right now... I can't believe I just spent $1000 on this for no reason. I'm literally I'm shock...

And I spent $75 on urgent care yesterday to get antibiotics for a bad sinus infection.... what am supposed to do now, stay in NYC? Fly home? Ugh.

Dani, I'm so sorry! For what it's worth, this happened to me in March when I went to Fort Lauderdale to catch opening night. I was momentarily bummed, but I kept repeating to myself that everything happens for a reason; there is no such thing as an accident. The fates brought you to NYC under whatever guise, so take it as a sign that it was just meant to be. Make it important. Go out there and experience it all. I think you will love it; I will never forget my first trip to NYC as a kid. You may learn something about yourself that you didn't know before.

I won't go into details, but my misguided trip to Fort Lauderdale was actually very good for me.

I don't think I'm ever going to travel a long distance to see a performer just because stuff like this could happen.

[GavinBrown]

This is why when I bought my Michael Jackson tix I waited to book the trip last minute, and he passed away a few days before I was set to book hotel and airfare!

Yeah, I definitely want to make the best of it. Mostly, I wanna meet some ledgies!! If anyone in the area wants to meet up, pm me.

[Jondalar]

Yeah, I will not travel like that. If I was in New York right now I would be going apes**t.

[paleshadow]

Did it cross anyone else's mind the timing of the cancellation? Is it possible that maybe Stevie is concerned about being in NYC right now?

[camchristo]

Well, first I hope Stevie gets better soon. Pneumonia really freaks me out. What awful timing. :( This week really was going to be historic for her. :(

Second...I am so incredibly bummed out. I just cancelled my hotel reservations for NYC.

I called her PR office and asked about The Borgata show...as of right now, it is tentatively still on...not going to cancel my train and AC hotel reservations yet.

Did you happen to ask her if the Webster Hall show was going to be rescheduled?

[Josh2003]

I don't think I'm ever going to travel a long distance to see a performer just because stuff like this could happen.

http://boredlawyers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/debbie-downer.gif

:lol:

I kid, of course. What you said just reminded me of something she once said in a skit.

[jellyman10]

Did it cross anyone else's mind the timing of the cancellation? Is it possible that maybe Stevie is concerned about being in NYC right now?

I saw something about her rescheduling a phone conference with some media on (I think) Friday, so I suspect she was coming down with it already by then.:shrug:

[ontheEdgeof17]

I'm surprised that she wasn't already here. I thought she would fly in this past weekend. Maybe she was supposed to and was holding off to get better and never did?

[paleshadow]

I saw something about her rescheduling a phone conference with some media on (I think) Friday, so I suspect she was coming down with it already by then.:shrug:

OK. Not that I'd rather her be sick though! I really doubt she'll do Atlantic City. I hope they announce it soon because I have to cancel my hotel in advance.

[LineInTheSand]

Did it cross anyone else's mind the timing of the cancellation? Is it possible that maybe Stevie is concerned about being in NYC right now?

That's ludicrous.

[SuzeQuze]

Yeah, I definitely want to make the best of it. Mostly, I wanna meet some ledgies!! If anyone in the area wants to meet up, pm me.

I am still coming out because it's too late to cancel my hotel room. I am shortening my stay to one night though unless the hotel is going to charge me a modification fee. In which case I will still be coming for the two days. So I will get in touch with you soon.

This really sucks!!! I hope Stevie is not gravely ill or anything. Rest up, Queen of Rock, and get well soon. :angel:

[DarkUponLight]

Did it cross anyone else's mind the timing of the cancellation? Is it possible that maybe Stevie is concerned about being in NYC right now?

Good point. You know she was in NYC on 9/11 & Illume came outta that whole experience, but it did have a big impact on her & on the whole TISL tour for that matter. Right now all the airports are on tightened security & everyone seems to just be watching/waiting for something to happen. So, I could totally see her being cautious or not wanting to be around NYC right now, but at the same time, I think she's just sick. I don't think she'd miss out on the premiere of her new album for anything, especially with as long as it's been & how much she enjoyed making this new music. I think she really is sick & probably feels even worse that she's not able to be there. If there was any way she could make it, I think she'd be there with bells on...

unfortunately this happened , But you are in one of the greatest city in the world, enjoy it

[GavinBrown]

I called Rosenberg's office, the girl said they are doing whatever they can to reschedule cause Stevie wants to do the show!!!

[wayner]

Yeah, I definitely want to make the best of it. Mostly, I wanna meet some ledgies!! If anyone in the area wants to meet up, pm me.

Just make the best of it, and if it turns out that the show at Borgata is still on, and if you can swing the extra time here i do have a few extra tix for borgata and would be happy to give them to you

[StevieRox81]

Did you happen to ask her if the Webster Hall show was going to be rescheduled?

The girl only knew that the show at The Webster was definitely off on Wednesday. From the PR statement it sounds like it's going to try to be rescheduled so I'm sure we'll find out for sure soon! Crossing my fingers...

[Livia]

This article says she's still on for Ellen May 10, so that's promising for the Indio and Vegas shows:

Stevie Nicks is on the eve of the release of her brand new album, “In Your Dreams,” and instead of making the rounds to promote her acclaimed new record, she’ll be battling the flu in bed.

The 62-year-old, who appeared on “Oprah” last month, was advised by her doctor to “stay in bed and not fly” as she’s currently suffering from pneuomonia and the flu.

She’s had to cancel appearances on the Today Show and Good Day NY, scheduled for the album’s release date on May 3rd, as well as an event hosted by her label Reprise Records on May 4th.

"I want to apologize to all my fans and hope that we can reschedule and of course I hope you love the new album. It's for you," Nicks said in a statement.

While we hope she gets better, critics are saying that musically, she’s in rare form. “It's not just her first album in 10 years, it's her finest collection of songs since the Eighties," said Rolling Stone.

Nicks is still scheduled for a performance on “Ellen” for May 10th, which has not yet been cancelled.

[gldstwmn]

Get well soon Stevie. I hope everyone who is already in NYC manages to have a good time while they're there.

[RockAlot]

The Ellen show is only what 8 days away? She will need to get plenty of rest and take all her med's whatever the Doc has told her to do.

If the Ellen show dosen't canc. these's a pretty good chance she will do the Indio show on the 13th...

[Jondalar]

Did it cross anyone else's mind the timing of the cancellation? Is it possible that maybe Stevie is concerned about being in NYC right now?

Some people keep saying that, but I think that is wayyyy too cynical. Tons of people have to be called. Lots of people have to put in time cancelling things. I'm sure she knows this. I'm sure she has been holding off cancelling anything. This CD is her baby and she is a pretty tough cookie. She is sick.

[Sanne2]

Wow this sucks, I hope she feels better soon and still can get some of the promoting done.
I hope they reschedule the Webster Hall thing, IYD is her first album in 10 years and it might be her last ever, she worked hard and deliverd an outstanding piece of work, the girl deserves a fabulous release party (even if it's a little later) with her friends and fans! But first she should take care of herself.

[Travis]

Yeah, I definitely want to make the best of it. Mostly, I wanna meet some ledgies!! If anyone in the area wants to meet up, pm me.

How long are you in NY for Daniel? I know it may not be an consolation but if you attend NOTS I have some awesome Stevie videos that I will be premiering the first hour.

[Travis]

Dani, I'm so sorry! For what it's worth, this happened to me in March when I went to Fort Lauderdale to catch opening night. I was momentarily bummed, but I kept repeating to myself that everything happens for a reason; there is no such thing as an accident. The fates brought you to NYC under whatever guise, so take it as a sign that it was just meant to be. Make it important. Go out there and experience it all. I think you will love it; I will never forget my first trip to NYC as a kid. You may learn something about yourself that you didn't know before.

I won't go into details, but my misguided trip to Fort Lauderdale was actually very good for me.

Dani, I hope you can take to heart what Hejira said. Try and make the most of it. There will be a light at the end of the tunnel.

[enchantd1]

damn... soooo disappointed. I was supposed to fly out tomorrow am. Strange but I've had this weird uneasy feeling all day. Been out all day shopping for the trip and getting my hair cut but I couldn't shake this weird feeling. Guess maybe I had some sort of gut feeling something like this would happen. Luckily I was able to cancel my flight and hotel. I feel so bad for Dani and others already there. I'm so sorry. Hope you can still have some fun and make the most of it. Poor Stevie. I hope she rests and takes care of herself!!!

Going to check my mailbox now... maybe my CD is here. That will make me feel a little better.

[daniellaaarisen]

Just make the best of it, and if it turns out that the show at Borgata is still on, and if you can swing the extra time here i do have a few extra tix for borgata and would be happy to give them to you

I don't think so, I fly out on Thursday. :( Thanks for the offer, though.

This is such a huge bummer. I can't believe it...

[deribish]

this is a bummer... but at least there's a great new CD that we all can enjoy. and for those of us in NYC, there's always NOTS at the end of the week -- which in my book still qualify this as "stevie week" :)

I fly out the day before NOTS :(

Catch a B-Way play !! what are your interests ? let the ledge help you !

Visit MOMA

Ride the staten island ferry

see Lady Liberty

[Crystal_Elle]

Oh my god. I'm beyond devastated. If I had found out about this an hour ago I could still have gotten my hotel money back. This was supposed to be the best birthday ever. Now it's going to be the worst. I spent money I didn't even have to go to this show. This is the second time this year I've flown somewhere for a concert only to have it cancelled. I guess I should be thankful I only got to Chicago and not all the way to New York. :( Please let this be a nightmare. :(

[HejiraNYC]

Step away from the laptop and get out there! What part of town are you staying? Go to a Broadway show tonight. It's not quite the same as seeing Stevie, but it is still "cultch-ah." I heard "Tales of Mormon" was not to be missed. Queue up at the TKTS booth in the middle of Times Square and see what they've got on offer.

I'm in Princeton, NJ right now, hanging out with my friend. I'll make it to the city later tonight.

Sigh...

[belladonnadream]

Oh my, I feel so sorry for those who spent money on tickets, travel, accommodation, etc. It's not like Stevie to cancel (as far as I know) so she must be really ill. How awful that it fell on the week her album is released :( Kinda like Bella Donna~
I can't believe this..I hope she's better but I think it has something to do with the OBL thing too....Now what?

[HejiraNYC]

I'm in Princeton, NJ right now, hanging out with my friend. I'll make it to the city later tonight.

Girl, you get around! :eek: That's over an hour from the city with no traffic (ha!). It's a nice little town for what it is.

[-Lillith-]

Poor Stevie, i hope she gets better soon. ... What a bad timing. :(:( get well :angel:

I am sorry for everyone who was planning to go to the show.

[fumidesigns]

omg i can't believe this has happened. ............ :mad:

ok i'ma try not to be mad and i hope that stevie gets better.

just checked ticketmaster and canceled events get refunded. here's the info:
http://www.ticketmaster.com/h/returns.html

"Canceled Events - You'll get an automatic refund for tickets bought online or by phone using your purchase payment method. If you bought your tickets at a retail location, please return them at the same location for a refund. (We refund all fees except UPS and retail pickup, and fees on certain Major League Baseball purchases.)"

[daniellaaarisen]

Girl, you get around! :eek: That's over an hour from the city with no traffic (ha!). It's a nice little town for what it is.

I'm gonna take the train later-- I hear it's 45 minutes or so?

[belladonnadream]

I don't see her flying out here for one show and back again. I could be wrong, but I see it being canceled.

This is true:nod:

[Regina]

Did you call? Or are you going by their reservation policy? If you didn't call--and speak to a supervisor, if you have to--CALL now! You may be able to get all of your money back. Especially if it's a chain hotel of any kind (although, really, any hotel worth its salt should not hold you to a time limit if you are VERY close to it).

Give it a try! I know I had to cancel a reservation or two and it's worked.

Good luck.

I'm calling now. Last time this happened, the hotel had no mercy at all. Let's hope the Ramada is nice. :( :(

Edit: They won't budge. I can only get my second night back. So far, at least $260 gone. I can't get my money back for the airfare, but at least they'll give it back to me in gift card form. This keeps getting worse.

[HejiraNYC]

I'm gonna take the train later-- I hear it's 45 minutes or so?

Well, I know an express train takes about 55 minutes, but I think they run only local trains off-peak. It's going to be a bit over an hour. Try to leave from Princeton Junction if you can; there don't seem to be direct trains from Princeton.

Let me know if you're in the West Village later (but not too "later"). You have my digits.

[Ghost_Tracker]

Did it cross anyone else's mind the timing of the cancellation? Is it possible that maybe Stevie is concerned about being in NYC right now?

I honestly don't see that at all.
If anything, I think it would be
extra motivation for her to be there.
i.m.o., she woulda pulled the trigger
herself if she could have, without
hesitation and regardless of personal risk.

[Ghost_Tracker]

I fly out the day before NOTS :(


And in the entire history of the human race, no one has ever missed a plane before.
Especially not a college student on a road trip.

I'm evil and must die, I know! . . . . :wavey:

IF YOU CAN SWING IT - ROCK OF AGES AT THE HELEN HAYES THEATRE IN NEW YORK!!! YOU'D LOVE IT! IT'S AN ABSOLUTE BLAST!!!!

(And tix are cheap with a student I.D.)

[jwd]

This just SUCKS! SO SORRY for everyone who had plans this week. I'm really sad for Stevie and how disappointed she must feel right now that she can't usher this great new record in properly. Most importantly though, I wish her well and a speedy recovery!! Get well, take care of yourself, and we'll be here when you get ready to rock this new album out! :xoxo:

Babe I know stevie loves her fans n all, but I doubt she'd risk her life for them! I understand her not wanting to get on the plane.....I'm just sad that she won't be here.

[Dodfather]

This is awful. Guys, I really, really feel for you! Dani - good for you for making the best of what is a terrible situation after having travelled so far and saved for it.

Stevie - get well soon.

[DefDumbandBlond]

From Stevie's Twitter:

Stevie’s bummed out she got sick. She knows her fans were so excited about Webster Hall.
Her press agent made her work too hard. She did 46 interviews in two days & got sick with pneumonia.

- - - -
F*cking hell! :eek:

[HejiraNYC]

Well, I guess it's promising news that Ticketmaster hasn't yet sent me an e-mail about obtaining a refund; when Rod Stewart was canceled, I received an e-mail instantly. Perhaps this means that they are frantically trying to find another date before outright issuing refunds? :shrug:

I'm still in denial about this, as you can see.

[belladonnadream]

Dani I thought of you and those coming from Florida before even myself ( Iwas flying from Rochester)...and I know how you feel cause you had to borrow money for this..so its not like you can just go to a theater show or any of that other stuff that costs a good penny!:( I've had this happen too in the past with Stevie where she cancelled the 9/12 show in Rochester NY( I remember her saying she was never going to New York again!) Also my family drove to the State Fair once in '89 to see Stevie and she cancelled right before we got there cause of what they said was a swollen bug bite on her foot( I think she actually broke it) but still, I had to walk around staring at cows and pigs all day...Neither of these two shows were to the same magnitude as flying from Cali but I do feel your pain..Hopefully Stevie will make it up somehow for us! I'm frustrated too..this REALLY stinks..but I sure hope she is okay and takes care of herself..Try to absorb the lights and maybe go to Ground zero and sing a line or 2 of Illume..in honor of those who died..This kinda is a historic time to be in NYC....;))))) Try to smile and enjoy..

[Buddy]

Oh I feel so bad for those that have traveled so far and spent so much money! Especially you, Dani. I could tell how excited you were!
Well, you are in the greatest city in the world. Try and make the most of it. I recommend a show . Try TKTS for easy on the wallet tickets. Also see the concierge at your hotel. Let them know what has happened to you because they often get last minute tickets and sometimes have really great info on what to see and do. They might be able to tell you how to get into events on "stand by". Challenge yourself to have a really great time and let us know what happens!

Prayers for Stevie for a speedy recovery!

[GavinBrown]

i bet it will get rescheduled as long as we arent all issued refunds via ticketmaster in the next 24 hours

[Artemis]

46 interviews in two days? Wow, I bet that's a hard task for even the youngest stars, never mind someone of Stevie's age. I'm not surprised she got ill. Still, it shows she's promoting the hell outta this record :thumbsup:

[louielouie2000]

http://boredlawyers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/debbie-downer.gif

:lol:

I kid, of course. What you said just reminded me of something she once said in a skit.

I'm actually inclined to agree with Jondalar in this instance. Fleetwood Mac canceled the Dance show I had tickets for in '97. Stevie canceled the Trouble In Shangri La show I had tickets for in '01. Fleetwood Mac canceled whole blocks of shows on the Unleashed tour. The opening night for Rod & Stevie's tour this summer was canceled. For those of us with tighter budget strings, it's just too much of a risk to plan a trip around Stevie/Fleetwood Mac.

That being said, I wouldn't shed any tears about not seeing Stevie if I'd flown to NYC. It's not like anyone could ever get bored visiting there! :D

i was packing my suitcase and decided to check the board.. :eek: i want to be in denial too... hilton 'advance reservations' refuses to cancel my room for 2 nites, $336.14. :shocked: as for the tickets... i don't want a refund! these tix were sooo hard to get! is that what ticketbastard will do, automatically issue a refund and send an email?

I doubt I'll be able to work a miracle and come to a rescheduled show. I've already spent so much money to be here today, and I've skipped a week of school. I'd probably be more upset if the show gets rescheduled and I can't go... :(

Yep - this is what people forget. I'll be pleased for those who can make a resheduled date but I'd be in the same boat as you. People often assume that everything is fine if the dates are rescheduled but there will be less people at a rescheduled date for this reason. It's unavoidable but very upsetting.

[Ghost_Tracker]

Babe I know stevie loves her fans n all, but I doubt she'd risk her life for them! I understand her not wanting to get on the plane.....I'm just sad that she won't be here.

She was a heavy smoker for decades and she's over 60,
therefore she has pneumonia. The two go together
automatically. *every* time.

I don't want to seeem unsympathetic to those who have been
disappointed; I'm not, at all. But the concept that this
has anything to do with bin Laden being killed is noisome to me.
Which is more likely, that an ex-smoker over 60 who truly loves New York City
and made a special effort to help out during that time and is terribly
excited about the launch of her new album (and - TRUST me - is under
TREMENDOUS pressure from the record company to sell it) cancelled
because of some ineffable fear of something extremely unlikely,
or that she's got pneumonia? The logic there truly elludes me.

[llb]

Maybe Lindsey's available?!?

Don't forget that she still smokes pot to this day. Pot is WAY rougher on your lungs than tobacco. That's why she struggles with lung issues to this day (bronchitis on TISL tour, pneumonia on IYD, her constant battle with her voice, etc).

Well if she is truly sick then I pray she does get better. A lot of ppl r canceling flight now cuz of that bastid so it truly does not surprise me if that's the reason she canceled. I don't blame her at all!

Either way I'd, I'm sure we'd all, want her in the best of health.......right?

Can we confirm this? I just dont see her still getting high after all these years, maybe a few hits every now & then but on a regular basis :shrug:

Absativa-lutely.

I guess I'm trying to convey a little bit of a "warning" to those
who may not realize it that we have to be realistic here and this
may be a sign of things to come. That's one reason why
I feel so emotional about it. You wouldn't believe the damage I've
seen that crap do to family members; and from what I've seen, when
one ages, it happens every time, with no exceptions.
If you listen closely to "Destiny Rules," Lindsey says something to
Stevie flat-out about "the breathing problem," and that was years ago.
I really don't want to be a bummer but this may be initial-stage
emphysema. The lung cilia never grow back.

People have posted screencaps from Destiny Rules where she and Lindsey are smoking from a pot pipe (I believe in Mark Needham's office). And she's said quite a few times in interviews from the past 10 odd years that she hasn't touched any hardcore drugs since 1986.

[TrueFaith77]

Maybe Lindsey's available?!?

actually... that'd be the best way to make up for it... tbh


ETA: by "make up for it", i don't mean to suggest that Stevie did anything wrong; I just meant... that would be a nice gesture for both the fans and lindsey and stevie

Ahh yes, I remember that. It was during the sequence where they sped everything up for a time lapse. I thought it was just Lindsey hitting the pipe though?

[SapphireSister]

Not to make light of the events of the day but I just read this review posted in another thread compliments of Richard B so for those of you who haven't seen it check it out. I was literally crying because I was laughing so hard so maybe it can put a smile on your face too!

[SuiteShangriLa]

She caught those germs from Perez..

it said 'pneumonia' ...not hepatitus! :lol::lol::lol:
kidding.

[StandbackStevie]

was wondering The Borgata Show on The 6th is still on? or she might cancel that show too. I went to the site it says its still on.

[paleshadow]

was wondering The Borgata Show on The 6th is still on? or she might cancel that show too. I went to the site it says its still on.

I have tickets for that show, and I'd assume she'd cancel it also. I don't see how you can recover from pneumonia in 2 days. Even if she's feeling better, she wouldn't be in the best form vocally I'm sure, so I think I'd rather they cancel to be honest. I just hope they announce it soon so I can cancel my hotel reservations.

[StandbackStevie]

I was thinking the same thing with pneumonia should would at least need a week to recuperate. I had bronchitus 2 weeks ago and get all the time never got pneumonia before have with my allergies and allergy induced asthma it sucks big time with that pneumonia is even worst I am sure.

[StandbackStevie]

I hope she will reschedule the shows and be back in the area this summer.

[rubylounge]

I feel so sorry that Stevie got sick! I know she has Asthma & mix that with Pneumonia & it's real hard to breathe. My friend is a nurse at National Jewish Hospital in Denver, CO & told me that Stevie was there in the 80's & 90's for an Asthma episode. I hope she gets well soon!

[BTFLCHLD]

one has to recover from pneumonia before one can recuperate. if indeed pneumonia, there will be a good length of time before she is feeling good and well again.

[Macfanforever]

Wow I'm sorry to here this news.The first thing is for a speedy recovery for Stevie.She got take care of herself.She's 62 not 29.Thats the most Important thing.Who In the hell wants to go to work sick.I know I dont want to.She 's probably very upset and crying about us missing her.Which I know she is.She loves us.Ok I hope Liz and her reschedule the Webster show later and also if the AC show if she's still sick which she might still be by then.Since I do on the fly hotel reservations or travel plans.I dont have to worry about canceling them.I do really feel for you Ledgies that have to travel a long distance like Dani.The New York trip would of not bother me if Stevie canceled last minute on Wednesday.Since NY is only about 85 miles from me.Anyway my friend who is coming with my is sick with the stomach flu and he had a real estate brokers class which he forgot he had set for the 4th.Also He knows the suffering with pneumonia .he's been through it.The Webster site still has the concert up and it does not say its canceled yet.also according to their calender I see some weekend dates open.If Liz and Stevie reschedule I hope they do it on the weekend.By thursday I will worry about the AC show.Because I'm schedule to leave then.

P.S. Feel better Stevie.

[krrrby]

mama needs a lot of rest, and a lot of vitamin c. I wonder if she takes vitamin c supplements when she's out on the road...that would do her a world of good especially at her age...

if you think about it, doesn't she get sick on almost every tour that she goes on? she got sick in the unleashed tour, the syw tour, the tisl tour...the enchanted tour? (i think?)

so maybe it's glad she's getting this sickness out of the way before the tour actually starts? :lol:

but really - first and foremost we hope she's taking good care of herself.

[DeeGeMe]

Pneumonia can kill you, particularly if you have a preexisting illness or any kind of autoimmune disorder. It's also particularly dangerous in---I hate to say this--but the elderly.:sorry: That's why they beg older folks to get flu and pneumonia vaccines each year. I've had pneumonia once and I was just 15 at the time and it kicked my ass. It took me a good month to feel like myself again.

Feel better Stevie!

If I get the cd by tomorrow night ,I will have a little listening party tomorrow and wednesday night in honor of her.

[ShangriLaTroubl]

Bad time for this to happen, it's going to hurt the first week sales.

[fumidesigns]

Ahh yes, I remember that. It was during the sequence where they sped everything up for a time lapse. I thought it was just Lindsey hitting the pipe though?

i have never seen this! someone post please :lol:

[gldstwmn]

Don't forget that she still smokes pot to this day. Pot is WAY rougher on your lungs than tobacco. That's why she struggles with lung issues to this day (bronchitis on TISL tour, pneumonia on IYD, her constant battle with her voice, etc).

Why doesn't she vaporize? I don't get it.

[StevieRox81]

ticketmaster says its fully cancelled, no reschedule, and refunds will be automatic. That SUCKS!

I am seriously going to cry...this is awful...such a bad day :(

[LikeAWillow]

Why doesn't she vaporize? I don't get it.

Seriously. Maybe buying a vape feels like too much of a commitment or something? :shrug: It really doesn't make sense, though.

[gypsy4life]

I feel so bad for Stevie, and the whole situation..I just hope and pray she gets well quickly!!

[Heartboy]

Bad time for this to happen, it's going to hurt the first week sales.

I highly doubt that!:shrug:

What, are the people that were going to this all mad so they're not going to buy the CD? Please...

[Macfanforever]

I just got off the horn with the Stubhub people .They will send us a email with instructions what to do to get a refund.

[StevieRox81]

I highly doubt that!:shrug:

What, are the people that were going to this all mad so they're not going to buy the CD? Please...

I can see the logic in this...lots of apperances are cancelled that would have definitely helped initial sales. Hopefully they'll be rescheduled!

The 'Today' Show?

Bummer!

[GarboSpeaks!]

I can't believe no re-schedule. I had friends going to this, but for all of you, I am really sorry. Stevie's a strong chicka!!!:angel: She'll "kick it" in no time.

I highly doubt that!:shrug:

I wasn't referring to that show..Mainly the Today Show appearance and other promotion appearances that make a big difference in the 1st week of an album's appearance. Luckily most of the interviews are already taped.

Yes, but do they know if it is canceled yet? I have tickets listed on there for sale, but I'll keep them if the show is being canceled or postponed. Need to know asap from them.

[Macfanforever]

I did not know about the Good Day NY appearance also the Ellen show coming up.i must be slipping.

[Macfanforever]

Yes, but do they know if it is canceled yet? I have tickets listed on there for sale, but I'll keep them if the show is being canceled or postponed. Need to know asap from them.

They could not say tonight, but they do know about it.they are probably waiting to tomorrow to send the email .this is my guess.I gress she could not book in june and july.I dont see many other artists scheduled for june or july on the Webster calender.She might make a special stop in the summer .thats if she's going to tour.she probably stop there when she hits MSG or Radio City.We will be first to know.

I got no word about the AC show yet.but I hope by wednesday or by thursday we will probably hear from Liz.

As long I know by friday morning the latest. if the AC show got canceled or postponed.

[Amlyn]

I just logged in and holy crap. Wow.

I'm actually out in California, NOT FAR from where she lives. I should go pick her up and pack her in my suitcase tomorrow for my flight home.

So sorry to everyone. I haven't read through the posts yet. But i will yet tonight.

Ugh, so dissapointed.

i'll pick you up from the airport..........

If only it were that easy. I'm still so bummed. And I agree that I don't see here flying almost 5000 miles (R/T) to play for 2 hours in A/C. But maybe she still will. Who knows.

I haven't been on the rooftop gathering thread yet, but i know i won't make that. Is anyone thinking of still getting together on Wednesday anywhere?

we can! i say we make the best of it!!!

I'm off on Wednesday, so i'm willing to meet up with whoever wherever. I'd invite anyone who wanted to come to NJ over, but my place is about the size of a mickey d's bathroom.

Trying to think where we can gather.

She should donate her suite at the Waldorf (I'm assumming that was where she would have been staying) to us and we can have a listening party.

and the ideas just keep on pouring out! this is excellent!

quick! someone call stevie! i'm sure she wouldn't mind. it's a legitimate request........ish lol

It was both, but even that was 8 years ago. A lot may have changed since then.

[equeen102289]

I'm hanging out with Dani in the hotel room. We're both so bummed that this happened but we're going to try to make the best of this trip.

This could have been the most amazing show. . . but I just hope Stevie gets better now and that people still go out and buy In Your Dreams. She deserves a good debut. Especially when her PR people are working her ass off.

I called Liz Rosenberg's office earlier. Whoever I talked to (perhaps Liz herself?) felt so sorry for us. When I told her I was flying from Ohio she was like, "Oh honey I'm so sorry." She said Stevie got sick late last week and that she tried really hard to get better but her doctor is not allowing her to fly here.

Uhm - This person is Madonna's Publicist.
In my opinion, the person you talked to was probably
her personal assistant's personal assistant's secretary. ;)

Stevie's on the front page of yahoo in the 'top searches' area!


Wooohoooo!:cool:

The person I talked to really wasn't the focal point of my post anyway. After the day I've had, you'd think you could be more considerate than just nitpicking about who I did and did not speak with.

[Gypsybecca]

Hi Dani and Amber! So sorry about the cancellation, was looking forward to meeting both of you. I hope Stevie reads this thread :wavey: and sends you 2 some kind of consolation prizes for being Super Fans! :woohoo:

[wildheart048]

I'm so sad, I do hope Stevie is feeling better...I can't help wondering if it has anything to do with Osama and possible flashbacks of 9/11 when she was in NYC...
That tour we had tickets for the Vegas show...that too was canceled. Do you think Stevie is trying to tell me something?

[Jondalar]

Seems to have come on awfully suddenly after the Bin Laden announcement. I'm wondering about that. She was in NYC on 9/11 and freaked out and almost canceled the TISL tour. Now I'm thinking, given her tendency toward self-involvement, she's probably afraid to come to New York and her publicist came up with the pneumonia excuse and allowed herself to be blamed for working Stevie too hard. I wouldn't be surprised if Stevie thinks she's going to be involved in some terrorist attack again. I'm trying not to be cynical, but it's hard not to, given some of her past behavior on tour.

If she is sick, then I have a message for her: QUIT SMOKING! That's why you're sick, Stevie, not because Liz Rosenberg worked you too hard. I stood next to you for a little while at the charity event in 2009 and you chewed gum like a maniac and reeked of cigarettes.

As I said earlier in this thread, Stevie definitely rescheduled at least one interview late last week, I think it was Friday. It was tweeted by the person who'd been told it had been postponed. So I think she is ill now, and was becoming ill as of then.

I don't see Bin Laden as a factor in this at all.

If she still smokes, then of course she shouldn't. But right now, I don't feel like blaming her. I feel like wanting her to get better.

"made her work too hard". Stevie still has some growing up to do, nobody can make her do anything. That said I know there had to be enormous pressure on her to do all the interviews. Still, knowing she has a tendency to get ill, she should know better by now. :( I am not saying it is her fault she is ill, I don't think that. But it's not her press agent's fault either. I am praying for her to get well soon. :angel:

I've decided not to come out for the one day after all. I just can't rally and am taking a mental health day instead and just chilling out. I'm sad I won't get to meet you and others, Danielle. You really are in one of the most awesome places.

Note to self, don't travel for Stevie unless you have a damn good Plan B set up!

One last thing, her father smoked into his old age AND he was involved in the Arizona Heart Institute. Addiction is a serious familial illness and without taking treatment seriously it is nearly impossible to beat. And I think Eric Roberts (one of last season's Celebrity Rehab patients) would attest to the fact that pot is not exactly a "soft" drug. I get the difference between it and heroin/opiates but it robs people of their motivation. Without it we may not have had to wait 10 years for this release.

:)))) I think she should reschedule the show....make sure Lindsey and Don and Dave are all there to perform with her and than use the last 2 hours up by having a meet an greet!:))) pictures included and a signing of the album! She could turn it into something even more special..
Is it just me or are those of you who were going having a hard time celebrating??

[jellyman10]

Ok which interview was postponed.

I've been looking for the tweet but it's fallen off my #stevienicks search results, which are now all about the cancellation! I've tried to get the search to go further back, but I don't seem to be able to get it to work.

Basically, I'm pretty sure it was someone from a radio station and it said a phone conference was rescheduled. It had to have been tweeted before Saturday, too, because my search results go back that far and it's not in them.

Sorry I can't be more helpful, but I swear on my life that I saw it and thought it a bit odd at the time.

I read that Sheryl Crow is doing a book signing 10 minutes from where Dani and I are staying. I think we're going to go check that out later. We're just going to keep ourselves busy and try to enjoy NYC as much as possible! :)

[Macfanforever]

Who racks up the most miles ever year going to concerts.Dani and DavidMN and who else.I wish I can get time off from work to travel.I cant do much touring in my 300 mile radius.

Well in this article, I was referring to them reporting that Stevie has "the fly" :lol:

But, it's poor journalism any way you slice it.

[eric51078]

If they cancel the Borgata it would have to be either today or tomorrow. They cant cancel a day before the show...well technically they can but they normally dont.

I totally am bummed still. Even worse today than yesterday. There was just so much momentum building up to this week and it's beyond disappointing. I'm in denial tomorrow's show is not going to happen. It was going to be such a once-in-a-lifetime experience and again, I am sooo sad for Stevie that of all weeks she is sick this week. The timing just couldn't have been worse.. :(

[jellyman10]

See, I'm trying not to panic, because this is what makes me think she must be pretty bad. I just don't see her missing any of this for the world. I'm one of life's catastrophrists anyway, but frankly, I'm worried about her.

[Lee]

Here's what Rolling Stone has said about the canceled shows:

Stevie Nicks Cancels Promotional Dates
Stevie Nicks has canceled a string of appearances in New York because she has come down with pneumonia and the flu. Nicks was set to appear on the Today Show, Good Day NY and a concert at Webster Hall. "I want to apologize to all my fans and hope that we can reschedule and of course I hope you love the new album. It’s for you," Nicks said in a statement. [Press release]

Lee :sorry:

[daniellaaarisen]

Who racks up the most miles ever year going to concerts.Dani and DavidMN and who else.

I know Ed (Hejira) and Michele both went to London during Unleashed, so they have me beat. Up until now, I'd just gone from northern to southern California a few times for Stevie.


I tweeted that:)


Well done Bryan - let's get Dani a pass!


Yes Dani should get one.

I love all of you.

[Macfanforever]

I have to agree with you.I was thinking about this now. if they had the Rod tour and her cd release spread out a little bit.Her schedule was so tight and run her health to the ground like it doing.She need some breathing room between shows.I always say hell with the weeknight shows .Just do friday saturday and sunday only.The last minute on the fly planning that she does .she cant schedule weekends only.Also those outside shows like Jones Beach and those shed amps dont do justice to her health too.I've notice she was doing great in the past few years by skipping the outside venues and just sticking to arenas and casinos.

You couldn't have described how i was feeling better. I felt like I had some golden ticket for tomorrow night and now it's just a piece of paper that's worthless. As much as I'd like to think they will reschedule Webster Hall, I don't see it happening because of the unique timing and promotion that was behind it. And supposedly ticketmaster is refunding already.

I'm still on the fence as to whether I think the Borgata show will be canceled. On one hand, I'm sure all the equipment is already here on the east coast, so it would just be a matter of getting her and the band here. And the idealist side of me wants her to commit to coming and not letting this get any more off track. But the realist side of me thinks it's crazy for her to put her health more at jeopardy for a 2 hour show 3000 miles away from home. And if she's not feeling great, I don't want to witness a performance that is a good try, but just not up to par, especially in the midst of a huge media storm.

I think we will know by this afternoon what's going on.

I realize in the grand scheme of life, this shouldn't be anything to lose sleep over, but right now we all just feel punched in the gut and the wound is fresh. And I feel awful for everyone who spent moneyon travel accomodations, took off time from school/work and rearranged their lives to make it.

I hope there is an upside to this happening. Hopefully destiny will write the right ending on this one.

i remember seeing that tweet some time at the end of last week too.

btw, my MIL is just a bit younger than stevie and a heavy smoker, and she gets pneumonia quite often (every other cold she catches ends up w/ pneumonia).

I read that Sheryl Crow is doing a book signing 10 minutes from where Dani and I are staying. I think we're going to go check that out later. We're just going to keep ourselves busy and try to enjoy NYC as much as possible! :)

sounds like a great plan. do you think that Sheryl's tweet that she's in NYC means that she'd be at Webster w/ Stevie?

also, since Webster was referred to as a star-studded party for SN, who else do you think would've been there? (sorry, don't mean to dig deeper in your fresh wounds, just curious if anybody knows more)

EDIT: Sheryl just tweeted she'll be a mentor on AI tomorrow night. and i see you all already have that info in the AI-related thread.

[Deniedwings]

Not sure if this has been posted yet. She's in London.

Courtney Love had tweeted that she was going to see Stevie at an "exclusive show at someones apt" but considering how wacky and mixed up she is, I think she may have been referring to the Webster Hall show:lol:

Hello Stephanie,

We're sorry, but the event has been cancelled. We have not received any word on whether or not they will reschedule it. However, if it would be rescheduled, you would just have to buy new tickets. We regret any inconvenience this may cause.

If you need anything else, we're always here for you - just click reply and ask us or visit Ticketmaster.com.

Thanks for being a fan!

Sincerely,

Casey_ZFS780

First and foremost, I hope Stevie feels better soon. I am thankful that the tickets I almost purchased for Webster Hall disappeared before I could actually purchase them...I posted here at that time that "I guess I am not supposed to go to the show- everything happens for a reason". Well...I got my reason....that little ticketmaster "error" saved me thousands of dollars.

I feel bad for the people who actually flew to NY just to find out the show was cancelled.

One thing I will never understand when I read this board is why people would spend money they do not have. I have read comments like, " I spent money I didn't have on this trip".... Why would someone go in debt to see a concert or spend money they do not have to fly to a city to see a concert? I am really just trying to understand what it is that would motivate someone to spend money they don't have? Yes, the experience of seeing Stevie is priceless but c'mon. Really? :shocked:

[JeannieKartis]

I totally am bummed still. Even worse today than yesterday. There was just so much momentum building up to this week and it's beyond disappointing. I'm in denial tomorrow's show is not going to happen. It was going to be such a once-in-a-lifetime experience and again, I am sooo sad for Stevie that of all weeks she is sick this week. The timing just couldn't have been worse.. :(

me too, it was surely going to be a special show...I'm just having my own pity party listening to the cd...I feel badly for her, first TISL got overshadowed by 9/11 and now with the death of Bin Laden and her being ill the timing couldn't have been worse...I hope she gets well soon and comes back stronger then ever....

dear god, don't thos people use spellcheck??

[fumidesigns]

sounds like a great plan. do you think that Sheryl's tweet that she's in NYC means that she'd be at Webster w/ Stevie?

also, since Webster was referred to as a star-studded party for SN, who else do you think would've been there? (sorry, don't mean to dig deeper in your fresh wounds, just curious if anybody knows more)

EDIT: Sheryl just tweeted she'll be a mentor on AI tomorrow night. and i see you all already have that info in the AI-related thread.

ok now that hurts!!!!!!

I find it a stretch that she would have gone to London with all the promo stuff she had going on. I mean, she was just interviewed in LA by Perez on Wed afternoon...

Michelle, it looks like you answered your own question. And it sounds like a contradiction to me. You claim the lack of ticket saved you thousands of dollars which you would have spent if a ticket was available flying in to NYC all the way from Phoenix.

[jkmaletic]

No, it's Michelle E.

I was kidding. :thumbsup:


Yesterday when I heard about this cancellation/illness I was at Disneyland of all places. I feel so bad for all of you, and for Stevie of course. It has to be super frustrating for her, considering how excited she is about this release. Hopefully, her management will do a good job recouperating the blow that her promotion took this week. First and foremost though, Stevie needs to get better!! I'm praying for her. Poor thing. :(

:lol: I love Suze.

[BTFLCHLD]

when I missed a show after traveling into another state, I cryed my eyes out with heavy heaves for about four hours, then I snapped out of it long enough enjoy the nightlife of the city and then came back to the hotel for even more (drunken) misery. I learned the hard lesson for myself - do not to go to those kind of lengths to see a musician no matter how high the pedestal they've been put on. chit happens.

having said that, I will travel up, down and all around cali for Lindsey, Stevie and FM!

GET HEALTHY MS. NICKS. :angel:

[CaliforniaDream]

I can't think of a city I'd rather be stuck in. Maybe Paris.
I went a few months ago. There are endless amounts of free fun things to do.
And you've got good weather right now.

You know what would be cool?
If one of Stevie's minions could put together a list of Significant Stevie Spots in NYC.
Recording Studios, places she's shopped, her favorite restaurants...then at least
you could still have a Stevie-themed trip. St. Marks Place for platform boots?
Bellinis at Ciprianis? That sort of thing.

[BTFLCHLD]

that does sound fun CD.

I wonder if Fantasy Springs is happening :eek:

Cute idea, but so many of us NY Stevie fans are in overdrive getting ready for NOTS on Friday - However Id be a meanie if I didnt at least mention the clothing shop "Gothic Renaissance" on 4th Avenue at 11 Street. This is definitely the "Stevie Style" HQ for NYC, and the manager Stitch is a huge Stevie fan.

I feel HORRIBLE for anyone who came to town for the Webster show, but the posters above got it right - there is so much to discover and enjoy here, so just make the most of it. And if you are still here on Friday, by all means come out and enjoy "The Night" with us

:wavey: Hi-- My name is not Michelle, its Reebok and I don't live in Phoneix. I am not Suze Orman, although I have a higher net worth than she does. LOL. That being said, yes, I am pleased that by some twist of fate I did not lose money. I can afford to fly and attend shows.... I was referring to people who go into debt to go to a show. I just don't understand it. :shrug:

[gdw526]

are you serious about giving the tix for AC up...? please PM me I have a few friends coming from out of state that not yet had tickets and IF the show goes on I am sure they would be interested in the tickets...thanks :-)

Just make the best of it, and if it turns out that the show at Borgata is still on, and if you can swing the extra time here i do have a few extra tix for borgata and would be happy to give them to you

[cliffdweller]

Pneumonia? Yikes! That's some bad stuff. I hope Stevie's okay. :angel:

Well, it's fine to have such an opinion, but for some reason I think your comments kind of came across as a bit condescending and seemed to pour salt into the wounds of the many who traveled vast distances to attend the show in spite of financial limitations. The way I look at it, there are just some things in life that are essential experiences, never to be repeated again. And money should be the least of all impediments. Sure, it may seem foolish in the short term, but you do have those memories to savor long after you're back on your feet financially. I travel for shows and I can afford to do it comfortably. But I would never begrudge someone who is less fortunate from having the same experience.

[cliffdweller]

Pneumonia can kill you, particularly if you have a preexisting illness or any kind of autoimmune disorder. It's also particularly dangerous in---I hate to say this--but the elderly.:sorry: That's why they beg older folks to get flu and pneumonia vaccines each year. I've had pneumonia once and I was just 15 at the time and it kicked my ass. It took me a good month to feel like myself again.

Feel better Stevie!

This got me to thinking...is Stevie elderly? Isn't the term "elderly" reserved for people older than Stevie?

[jellyman10]

Stevie's Twitter feed just sent this:

'Today is STEVIE NICKS DAY - CD FINALLY OUT - Yipee'

and a link to the deluxe IYD on iTunes.

I'm slightly relieved by that. The 'radio silence' was starting to freak me out!

[The Catdancer]

Stevie should take really good care of herself having pneumonia. I had it when I was 39 and I nearly died, spent a week in the ICU. And it took me 5 months to fully recover. Stay in bed, Stevie and hire a nurse.

I feel really sorry for all the people who spent so much to go see her. Try to make the best of it. NYC is the most exciting city I've ever visited.

[camchristo]

I'm so bummed out about the show being cancelled that I'm having a hard time getting motivated at work. Listening to my copy of IYD is bittersweet. I had to eat the cost of the hotel but I can reuse my flight (only for Chicago to NYC) sometime during the next year. I hope she reschedules.

I am not "begrudging" anybody...I just don't understand. Perhaps they are in the situation of being "financially limited" because they make emotional decisions without doing a cost benefit analysis when making these type of financial decisions? It just seems like bad financial planning....for one to go so far out of their way and spend alot of money they do not have to see someone they don't even know. I understand spending money you do not have if a relative was on their death bed and you had to fly there to say goodbye. But not for an out of state concert that they can not afford....if working a second or third job for several months to pay for the experience is worth it to them, more power to them, it just doesn't make sense to me.
