Surely you jest! I don't even know why I bother, but here goes...this year Stevie Nicks can still headline big amphitheaters like Jones Beach in NY, B of A Pavilion in Boston, and PNC Bank Arts Center in NJ, along with the lucrative casino outings and bigger theaters that want to book her. Stevie Nicks solo career will never be over as long as she is healthy and able to tour with or w/o a new release. She is an icon. Like it or not.

And regardless of whether or not she lost/made money on IYD, that's just one piece of a MUCH bigger picture! Stevie grossed anywhere from 13-16 million (conservative estimate) in 2011, between her IYD solo tour and 5 week Heart & Soul outing (raked in over 17 million alone according to Pollstar) add in royalties on catalog sales & spins. She worked hard last year & deserves to be laughing all the way to the bank. Besides her presence & promotions last year only heightened FM profile and catalog sales.
