Jana No Longer Touring with Solo Stevie

nailatixela · #1 04-17-2010, 05:33 PM

A fan asked if she was going to be with Stevie in August for the show. Jana replied that she is no longer touring with Stevie, just Fleetwood Mac.

You can read the additional drama about this situation on her FB page. It looks like they wanted to keep it with the original homegirls - just Stevie, Lori and Sharon.

Can you post the drama for those of us that can't see it?

Interesting. Well, if she said just Fleetwood Mac, maybe that means they do plan to get back together in 2011, as Mick has suggested.

My heart goes out to all of you who will miss Jana.

So, Carlos needs to post on FB about it being the exactly the reverse for him. He'll be with Stevie solo, but no FM

Can someone post the stuff? I'm not on Facebook, sounds like there are some others who also may not be. Thanks in advance.

This is what she said : Hi Jeannie. Thanks for asking, but no, I am no longer on any Stevie Nicks solo shows, only with the Fleetwood Mac shows will I be singing. Lori and Sharon have seniority, even if Lori took a 16 year hiatus from singing and came back, and Stevie decided she no longer needed me. Those girls have been friends with Stevie since the 1970's, both have ... See Morelived with Stevie extensively, and Lori is her best friend and had Stevie's only neice, and both girls sang on all her records. There is so much more to this story politically, but I won't share it. It's unfortunate how I had to find out as they were procrastinating telling me until I wondered why musicians were emailing me saying they'd miss me at her shows I heard nothing about. I can only say that my run with Stevie's solo career as her backup singer for the past several years has been a great experience overall and I'm grateful for what I had, not for what I no longer have. I wish them all the best.

Well that's a crappy way to find out you no longer are on the bill...

GypsyBlueEyes · #8 04-17-2010, 11:02 PM

WOW! That really sucks. I know she said that she'll still tour with FM but I can't imagine how they will manage that without it being awkward as hell!

michelej1 · #9 04-18-2010, 12:14 AM

Wow, that's rather shocking. I mean I'd feel exactly like she feels in her place, but I wouldn't post it publicly. The industry is such a small one. You can't burn bridges. Stevie might steer Jana to work with some of her friends. In fact, didn't Henley recommend Jana to Stevie in the first place? Networking is everything.

So, even when you're wronged, professionally it might be wise not to air your feelings on a social network everyone can see.

Somehow I don't see Jana performing with Fleetwood Mac either in view of those comments.

michelej1 · #11 04-18-2010, 12:16 AM

Exactly what shows has Stevie done that Jana knew nothing about?? Other than the Taylor Swift thing, has Stevie been making a lot of appearances? Hmmph! You guys have been holding out on both me and Jana!

I don't get that part. It seems like a strange post for her to make.

Believe it or not I think this is the nicest thing Stevie could possibly have done for Jana. Honestly? I had been starting to wonder what was taking her so long.

(Jana's solo career is beginning to take off - but since it's such a rough business these days, it's kind of "precarious" right now, it seems. i.m.o., if Stevie had called and then somebody had called with a great opportunity for her solo career, it would have put Jana in an extremely difficult position. Me, well I can't sing to save my life, so the world is safe.

But really - if that situation had happened to ME, personally - I would have had MANY sleepless nights. Stevie made the decision for her. And she did it with love and based on a lifetime's experience in the business. She protected her friend from having to watch those "unridden horses" pass her by.)
That's my take on it, anyway. Obviously I'm just guessing - but "that's my story and I'm stickin' to it."

P.S. -

"Look . . . if you had ONE shot . . . or ONE opportunity . . . to seize EVERYTHING you ever wanted . . .
Would you capture it?
Or just let it slip away...."

I hope she won't lose herself in the music.

I thought that was a strange comment to make as well. I'm hoping it means that there are more Stevie shows in the works, other than August 27th, that we just don't know about yet which is why she said "...they'd miss me at her shows I heard nothing about." It does seem to be written in a future tense. However, as with everything else Stevie, who knows

Hahahaha!!! Love reading a serious post only to be followed by an Eminem reference, gets me every time.

APerfectLie · #15 04-18-2010, 01:12 AM

This makes me wonder, how does she know she will be performing with Fleetwood Mac? What if FM wants to drop her too? Unless of course, she has already signed a contract...
