I can just picture Stevie saying to Linds (like the Clinton inauguration thing) in the big scheme of our lives we just HAVE to do this! And Lindsey loves cycles and circles, so I'm sure he'll go along!

I LOVE THIS.

I think she will be performing until the last breath of poetry leaves her body. Which, hopefully, will be a very, very long time from now.

I think In: Your Dreams (or is it In Your Dreams....I've seen it listed both ways) will be the last solo album with new material. I think there will be another FM album, but it will probably be the last, too. As much as I like the idea of Stevie and Lindsey ending their career doing a Buckingham Nicks type project/ rereleasing BN, I don't think it will happen. I think Stevie will then put together the book of her art like she has talked about doing before. I think she will also write her autobiography. Her last project will be to release the Rhiannon works, but not re-do them, just the originals. She will work with someone to produce the 'Rock and Roll Ballet' she has often talked about. It will be about the story of Rhiannon and include all of the Rhiannon songs.

I think that Stevie will continue touring for the next few years. I hope that she doesn't sign up to be a part of a lilith fair or true colors type of collaboration like some other older rockers do. Nothing wrong with this I suppose but I'd rather see my Stevie do '"not a tour" tours and random special events. They kind of make me sad for some reason. She'll probably tour until she physically can't anymore.

FM will pull together one more album but it won't be all new music. They will throw in some BN and a couple new songs each and then remaster some remastered stuff. I wish they had to start fresh and actually make the album together. What most people like about the Rumours album is that it's a direct reflection of what was going on in the personal lives of the band members. As they continued to make albums together and each of them pursued lives outside of the band, they grew apart and I think their music reflects that. It'd be nice to get a final reflection of FM...and they might as well pull in some BN...as they attempt to complete the cycle of circles.

They will tour a few more times, one of which will be the farewell tour that Chris joins them on for some dates. That would be coming full circle as FM. And since FM without Chris is basically BN, Stevie and Linds are pretty much right back where they started...if they add some BN songs on a new FM album and then play one of them during the second farewell tour...then bam! they are full circle as BN.

I wonder if Stevie or Linds has a clue at how much their fans want them to do something BN related? I mean, do they really really really know? I also wonder if Stevie will ever take me up on that invitation to come hang out at my house....We can cast spells on my cats, one of which is named Nicks, while we cook up steaks and nacho dip and discuss the changes in Zodiac signs and burn sage and nagchampa. She will like me so much that she will give me her bling bling crescent moon necklace and also let me have my choice of shawls.

I'd love to see Stevie write and perform for as long as possible...Once that is no longer an option, I REALLY hopes she writes the much talked about autobiography.

I teared up after reading this. What a wonderful thought.

I predict, & agree with Louie that this is her last studio album. If not, there will only be no more than one more.

The Mac will start a new album next year & tour, & then they'll be done making records more than likely.

She'll write the autobiography, but it won't have the details we were hoping for, though it may have just a few.

Stevie will die in peace, with me holding her hand. The End.

What am I suppose to do with my life when there is no more Stevie Nicks?
"Here I am dramatic..."

So many great ideas in this thread.

I too feel that In Your Dreams will be her last album as a solo artist. I'd like to believe that there will be another Fleetwood Mac album; I don't see it happening organically, but rather as a calculated business decision that leaves both Stevie and Lindsey unsatisfied. SYW part 2, if you will.

I do hope that someday Stevie and Herbert will get together and publish that picture book they've talked about for decades.

Unforunately, I don't think we'll see reissues or collections of unreleased songs until she's passed on.

You're probably right. I think her neice, Jessica will inherit everything, and never have to work a day in her life.

Maybe it will be Jessica who takes the Rhiannon songs and has the film completed - using all original vocals from her aunt's vaults.

I predict that sometime in the not-too-distant future, there will be the technology to re-create Stevie's singing voice using samples of her vocal recordings. Roger Ebert is already using this sort of technology with his spell-n-speak device. Dear Buddah, let's hope Jessica James does not sully her aunt's legacy with something like this.

There will be one final Mac studio album. My guess is it'll be released sometime in the next 3-5 years.

Stevie will likely keep touring regularly into her 70s.

There will never, ever be an autobiography. Or a Rhiannon movie. Or a Goldfish & Ladybug cartoon. Et al.

Stevie may record duets/backing vocals for buddies here and there for some time. She may do a soundtrack song or two again. But her recording days otherwise will be over very soon.

It's possible Stevie may finally get Buckingham Nicks released and do some sort of farewell tour with Lindsey at some point down the line.

I agree with 100% on this makes sense to me and being realistic

[BlueDenimLamp]

The following is my opinion on this. So here it is...
This is sad...Many many times Stevie has said "I've never gotten to make the record I want to make" and I hold out hope for this "Masterpiece" and I'll be generous here...Pre '90ish Stevie or even better pre RAL...All those wonderful Songs/Demo's/Lyrics...The Stevieness of that era...All rolled into one great Stevie album...I think she still has it in her...Yes that voice is gone but she can still give us some great vocals...It's been said that truckloads of money have been spent ruining Stevie's songs...And this record (In Your Dreams) will be one of the final attempts at the commercialization of Stevie Nicks...I pray I'm wrong about this and Secret Love is something Warners has thrown us to generate Buzz about In Your Dreams...And something spectacular awaits us...We shall see...Unless Stevie has put a new battery in her miracle ear and hears the "clock" of her career ticking loudly...I don't see Stevie or the MAC doing anything significant...There may be one last great Buckingham/Nicks outing...Other than that there have been far too many wasted opportunities...Currently Bella Donna 30 year anniversary...in a previous thread it was mentioned that Bella Donna is very close to what "Country " is nowadays...Why not release a 2 disc 30 anniv set: Disc 1 Bella Donna Remastered...Disc 2 Bella Donna Remastered and remixed to give it a bit more of a country feel...If done right it might do well on the charts...Will it happen? don't hold your breath...Another lost opportunity...Will she retire? prob not...

I totally agree with everything you wrote.

[StandbackStevie]

I really do feel this is Stevie's last Studio Solo album In Your Dreams she filmed the making of this record too so my guess it would be her last and maybe another FM new album in the future and another last tour with FM. I also see a maybe or possible tour Buckingham Nicks tour in the future if they re-release the Buckingham Nicks and tour as Buckingham and Nicks see that happening you know they each having there own bands and doing seperate solo sets and then a set dedicated to Buckingham Nicks and singing the entire Buckingham Nicks album would be awesome to see.
