Could this be the beginning of a new album?
 

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?

Quite possible. :)

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

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!!!

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..

Well **** - 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..

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:

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.

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.

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.

What next?
 

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

Whaaat? :shrug:

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.
