Maybe she isn't completely ready to release the news yet, or maybe she doesn't even have it yet but will soon, and this was all just a coincidence. Either way, Ms. Senseformiles would either be owed many apologies or would be worshiped for the prophetic powers that you all worship from Ms. Nicks. Irony at its best.

Bobo, no matter how inappropriate & offensive you can be, you crack me up.

Welcome to The Ledge. As was mentioned, there could be some confusion with the artist involved. Melissa Etheridge is one woman with a similar husky voice that has been in the news. Another woman, who I think might be from Australia (coincidental to Stevie's tour going there), actually, is Kylie Minogue. My bet is somehow the info about the Australia tour got mixed in.

If some folks here seem a little bit defensive, it was only a short time ago that someone heard via email that Stevie had a stroke:

I think you'll find most people here are friendly. As far as we all know, Stevie is doing quite well. She has mentioned long in an interview that she has a slight mitral valve prolapse in her heart, some asthma, vocal cord strain, a run with Epstein's Barr, etc. but hasn't had any major health issues. She continues to be involved in the Arizona Heart Institute in terms of fund raising and the City Of Hope, involved with cancer and research among other charities that are meaningful to her.

I read somewhere that Stevie had a form of breast cancer when she

had her breast implants removed in the 70's, as of now i am not sure

whether it has ever come back.

I hope she has great health in the future, it would be terrible for her to
die before her time, she is a great singer/songwriter.

There's SO many Rumours that go around about Stevie and her health that it's just absolutely silly. A VERY short time ago everyone was freaked out because there was a rumor that Stevie had had a stroke. And that turned out to be totally bogus. And I feel pretty sure that the same is true here. She's a fighter and she loves her life - she's had to fight for it to get to the place she's at now ("spiritually," I mean), and so I kinda think she'd be in the hospital or something instead of touring right now, no?
What I don't understand is why there's so many people who make this crap up - Why would it EVER even occur to them to DO such a thing?
Anyway, my suggestion, personally, is don't believe anything until it's posted on Nicksfix.

Rule number 1)a) when it comes to rumors about Stevie:
When people start quoting "Legitimate sources," start getting REAL skeptical REAL quick! There's apparently an AWFUL lot of people out there who "ain't got nuthin' better to do."

She did not have them removed in the 1970s that is when they were put in .The implants were taken out in the early 1990s and I don't believe anything was said then about cancer. She did say that she believed that the leakage from the silicone implants may have contributed to her chronic fatigue.the breast cancer rumor is new and apparently the source is a'friend of a very .very handsome friend 'Suspicious indeed if I do say so myself.

I'm confused about these implants. I have read about it happening around 1980, but that actual date is not important. I never understood why Stevie thought she needed them in the first place. From looking at the old FM photos, it doesn't appear she really "neeed" them at all. Was she going after the Dolly Parton look!

I'm fairly certain that the year she got them was 1976.Her reason unsurprisingly was 'because everyone else was doing it then"

I don't know exactly when she had the implants put in, but it was in the 70's that she did. She had them removed in the early 90's because of leakage... Never heard anything about a breast cancer scare around the time of them removed... just the leakage and the fatigue that could have been caused by that.

Stevie NEVER had breast cancer. She had something called Epstein Barr Syndrome. Here is Stevie's own account of her implants and their removal:

When she got them, in 1976, to enhance her 5ft 1in figure, there was of course no hint that silicone could be toxic. She is convinced they precipitated her long bout with Epstein-Barr Syndrome (aka chronic fatigue syndrome), which set in in 1987 and culminated in major surgery two years ago to remove the implants. "The operation to take them out is horrible," Nicks says. Leaning forward, she speaks passionately, tracing a finger around her chest. "They were totally broken inside me. All that silicone was all through me, poisoning me. They have to cut all around here and take the nipple off and then reconstruct you. And the scars ... When they were put in they were clear little silicone bags. When they take them out, they're black and green and yellow. I've got them in a freezer in Phoenix to remind me."

I've heard about her implants being in a freezer. Just a little creepy I must say but poor Stevie for having to go through this.
