that's devastating.

Here's the story:

It was but a brief dream for Stevie Nicks and Don Henley fans here: The Nicks and Henley July 4 Summerfest concert announced earlier this week for Marcus Amphitheater has already been canceled.

The entire second leg of the rock duo's tour was scrapped due to "scheduling conflicts," Summerfest Entertainment Director Bob Babisch said today. Babisch said another act for that date would be announced.

Tickets for the Henley/Nicks show were due to go on sale Saturday.

if ya ask me.

I am however surprised they waited til now to cancel the show though if there was "Scheduling conflicts"

[GardenStateGirlie]

I think initially they saw dollar signs and then realized that due to the oversaturation of the markets being played (between FM and The Eagles they've hit each place several times in the past few years), they realized it wouldn't have been the money maker they thought it out to be. IMO, this stems much deeper than scheduling conflicts. If the tour is scrapped, it'll probably be due to more than scheduling and Don's desire to hop back into an Eagles venture.

of course i'd like to think that it's because of my personal reaction to the ticket prices ... it just sucks because this info was leaked, got so many people excited, and then it's *poof* gone and most of the people would have never ever known about it. it sucks being in the know sometimes...

If it was due to poor ticket sales, wouldnt they need to have sold some first?

[StevieNicksEO17]

B*TCHES! I was planning on going to that one too!

[Kelly]

I sort of knew something was up with this whole thing...I predict the the entire tour goes under.

[Hawkeye]

IS it any suprise that the concert that gets cancelled is the one that had 60 dollar top prices

And today the Nicksfix just announced the VIP packages for this tour? Thanks for keeping us up to date official website.

How does some reporter in Milwaukee know the entire 2nd leg of the tour has been canceled and we dont?????? Where do they get their info?

[StevieNicksEO17]

I was just getting excited for these shows, and I don't even like Don. Well, now I really don't like him!

[Wldhrt315]

WELL, at least they canceled the show today instead of waiting til tickets were purchased and upsetting a lot of fans.
