"Nicks Races To Track" (DVD mention!)

[EnchantedSLN]

I know there are a few Australia threads, but news sometimes gets buried quickly in discussion & I thought the confirmation of another tourdate and mention of a live DVD warranted a new one . I checked first and didn't see anything, but my apologies if it has already been posted.

FLEETWOOD Mac's Stevie Nicks will perform with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra on her solo tour in February.

Nicks, 58, will film her performance with the MSO for a DVD. She will be in Melbourne on Monday to launch the tour and will attend the Melbourne Cup Carnival as a guest of her tour promoter, Andrew McManus.
McManus said Nicks was also thrilled about having a race named in her honour at Emirates Stakes Day.

"I was in Atlanta trying to get Stevie to focus on some business we needed to do, and all she wanted to discuss was this race," McManus said.

"She is really pumped about it."

Nicks sings for Fleetwood Mac, a US group whose hits include Dreams, Rhiannon and Landslide. Her solo hits include Stand Back, Talk To Me and Edge of Seventeen.

She is notoriously five-star, preferring private jet travel, and has her Bel Air mansion furniture shipped in to make backstage feel like home.

Nicks will perform with Australian singer John Farnham in Brisbane and Perth, while US singer Vanessa Carlton will be her support act in Melbourne.

Nicks performs at Rod Laver Arena on February 18. Tickets go on sale on November 15.
