Not only Thailand. Many peruvians who live in USA usually come to Peru for visiting relatives but also they take the opportunity but just for dental procedures, that are much cheaper than in the US. But about other type of medical care, private hospitals are very expensive if you have no private medical insurance, a 3-day hospital stay without surgery can cost US$4,000 (that's a lot for peruvians), with surgery it would be much more ($20k, $30k). Public hospitals are almost free but some are poorly maintained and all are overcrowded, specially the ERs. So definitely that's not an option for hospital tourism. But in dentistry, it is very common for foreigners to be treated.

Besides, if you go to a private hospital ER, and you have no insurance, they ask you for a $ deposit as a guarantee, otherwise they practically don't treat you. My friends in the USA tell me that private hospitals did they receive you in ER, they won't let you die. That's a difference with peruvian private hospitals. Of course, when you get the bill, you'll have preferred to die, or so I'm told.

Totally agree. Mexico is also great for teeth and eyes. My friend had a total knee replacement for $10,000 in Thailand that included 5 night stay in the hospital private room (US hospitals kicked you out after a night, two at the max) and 2 weeks in rehab with almost constant care. US does not provide rehab care for knees or hips but for surgery that does require rehab the staff only work with you once maybe twice a day and you lay around the rest of the time. It’s terrible.

To your point a private hospital (like Bumrungrad) and the charges are a king’s ransom to a Thai citizen but to an American its cheap. $70 for an MRI. $30 for an xray. Heart surgery $10,000. In the US a heart surgery is anywhere from $100,000 to $500,000…. Maybe even more nowadays. And they are still run like a business not a care center. Ridiculous.

Its even worse if your claim is denied. Devastating financially for many people.

I think socialized medicine like in the UK is wonderful….but that will never happen in the US. Way too much profit in sick people.

This puts me in a cranky mood. I was looking forward to seeing what Stevie has written about all her old loves from the perspective of age and maturity. Those relationships now lie in smouldering ruins. I wasn’t quite expecting the album to scale the heights of the Ibsen play as a family tragedy, but I thought it could be insightful and maybe even comical. (After all, who doesn’t look back on their old loves with a mix of sadness and humor?)

And where’s that Rhiannon album?!

I already have about a dozen of Rhiannons, among remastered, early, single and live versions. Enough.

And regarding the oft-mentioned Rhiannon movie, I think that has never ceased to be just an idea (or an opium dream as we say here). However I learned there is a 2018 movie, "Every Day", where the main character is named Rhiannon, there you go!

Anyway I find funny that after several weeks with no news about Stevie Nicks, now there are several headlines like these. Is this a strategy?

I hope if she does have a new album and tour she goes back to her natural human looking hair.

As much as I would love to have a new album from her, I really think that ship sailed so long ago and our expectations of her are so low that it makes it impossible to get excited when the idea is just pure hype. At this point I can't imagine getting a really great song from her let alone a full album. I would love to be proven wrong but my hopes are in the toilet of this ever happening.

Yes, it was going to include a dozen versions of the song. Stevie plonking on the piano, Stevie with the USC marching band, Stevie with Taylor Swift, Stevie with BTS, Stevie singing with just Mick on the drums for accompaniment, Stevie and Neil Finn, Stevie singing the song while rollerskating and drinking cranberry juice, Stevie and Waddy singing it, Stevie and Sheryl Crow, Stevie and Miley Cyrus, Stevie and Harry Styles, and finally a Christmas version with Stevie and Jason Kelce shaking jingle bells.

She DID tease us with that one!

It's not worth it. I would never buy it if it didn't include Stevie and the Muppets.

So was the magazine just wrong about a May release date, or the entire concept of a new album coming out? 🤔

I don’t know for sure but my assumption is the magazine picked up a March 2025 statement that stevie made about the new album that she calls the Ghost Album (she started putting together while at the hotel during the fires) and they mistakenly thought it was a May 2026 release.

So yes, in Stevie’s mind there will be a new album.

But no, not in May of 2026.

Just my guess.


I’d love to see those new/old vault songs of hers go on to a new Fleetwood mac album.

That is not a fact. Stevie had a listening party this year of her new songs. She announced last year she had seven new songs recorded. She also confirmed in "The Church of Stevie" interview she was focused on releasing another album. She's just been touring every year, plus she hurt her shoulder, but she's had a lot of time off since her 2025 Tour.

There's an album coming this year.

I would love it but do not believe it will happen.

Do you think this way because Show Them The Way nor The Lighthouse charted on any country’s major chart for songs/singles? Just curious because she’s insisted she’s releasing one more album.

It's because she's B@T$H1T crazy.

Seriously. There's no one in her lighthouse. Just a nightlight barely glowing, while she insists, "I'M STILL RELEVANT!"
