Sacramento Concert Cancelled
SACRAMENTO, CA - The Fleetwood Mac concert scheduled for 8 p.m. Monday night at Arco Arena has been cancelled.
Arena officials said they are still confirming whether or not the concert has been postponed to a later date or cancelled for good. Sacramento was one of the last stops on the popular blues rock band's "Unleashed" tour that started in March. NEWS10.NET

UGH!! This does not bode well for the Oakland show. I was actually gonna hit Sacramento tonight as a walk up to catch the show. Any idea what the reason is for this cancellation? Illness? Low ticket sales? I heard tickets sales were pretty good and due to the timing of the cancellation I have to bet it''s illness. Now the rumours will begin to fly again about it being Stevie and the droopy eyes and the limp and the half alseep performances...LOL.
I hope this is a the LAST cancellation for the sake of the fans. There are so many fans that spend tons of money (outisde the price of the ticket) to get a FM concert. Because FM has 3 shows within a 2 hr drive of each other (Sacramento, Oakland, San Jose) a cancellation of one show is maybe not as much of a hardship as it is to other cities but it still is hard! I hope we get FM on Wednesday. If anyone knows what is going on please share. Thanks!  "Chain keep us together"

I have to believe these cancellations are due to serious reasons known only to them. That being said, it is an EXTREME hardship for fans these days to make the financial commitment to attend concerts at these prices. It behooves the bands to reschedule and/or release a more descriptive statement as to why the cancellation. I continue to believe that FM puts their fans first!

I think from all indications of her performances so far that La Nicks just does not want to be there..I usually get tickets for both the Oracle and Arco arenas but not this time.They should not have even bothered with this tour.The '"reasons" for it have rang hollow from the get go.

Ya know.. they just had an earthquake in SoCAL, so maybe they had to fly home to check things out? Hmm... who knows? If it's illness, I sure hope whomever is ill... recovers well. So much junk going around now... flu, etc.....

I feel bad for the band and for the fans. Maybe, FM needs to cut down on the shows now that they are older. I couldn't do what they do at my age and I'm younger than they are. It has to be exhausting touring as much as they do.

WOW!
 I am shocked at this...if the real reason is lagging sales or the schedule that is catching up with them, these shows could have been cancelled weeks ago. It must be bad for them to cancel shows the day of, whatever the reason. I keep thinking of Stevie's famous Rolling Stone interview back in the 70's when she said "you cannot call in sick to Fleetwood Mac". I am sorry for the No Cal FM fans too...

Well given Stevie's drug use back then, I guess it would be understandable (but no less forgiveable) that shows were cancelled then. I guess I have come to expect that since everyone is cleaned up, older and operating as much a business as a band, the last minute cancellations are surprising to me. I saw them a few weeks ago and am wondering if I saw them peak for the tour.
I am still going to Vegas. This could be it for the band for a very long time.

Unless there is an official source there is no way to say that it IS Stevie. While it wouldn't surprise me if it were there is no way for me to verify. As for the quake in SoCal...quakes in California are hohum for the most part and reports from SoCal are that it was minor. Cancelling a date for that reason does not seem logical. Illness is valid and I would agree that they need to do less shows especially in NoCal where as I stated before they scheduled 3 shows (Sacramento, Oakland, San Jose) within 2 hr drives of each other.
I am not sure about Stevie not wanting to be there but she has had a hectic traveling schedule in the last couple of years and it would not surprise me that she may be both physically and mentally tired. As always I remain the guy with the glass more than 1/2 full rather than the reverse. I respect the band as a whole too much to "assume" anything but am cognizant of all possibilites. Let's hope they are all well or getting better if one or more are sick and let the tour continue for those who are awaiting their arrival. "Chain keep us together"
