exactly, if the show goes on friday no way did or does she have pneumonia, (I've had it and it kicks your a**) probably has a bad strain of the flu virus...

Yea got me pssst off.

I honestly can't see her making up that she has an illness, especially one as serious as pneumonia. It was said she started canceling/re-scheduling days before anything even happened regarding OBL etc. so I really don't think that's the case.

[WildHeart69]

Maybe she is on the tail end of the illness and she wouldnt be 100% for a big (potentially filmed for release) show. She may use the AC show as a "feeling it out" show to see if she is better for the rest?

Just a thought

Thank you! I guess I'm just a little touchy since so many people (my own friends and family included) have given me crap about priorities. They just don't get that you have to live for the moment. Music is my life and hopeful career, so it's more than just a concert to me.

Crystal, I just want to say to you Happy Birthday in solidarity . It's my birthday on the same day too, and I know perhaps it raises the emotional quotient during these times and the day has seem very deflated from earlier plans, but I just want to send you some birthday wishes and dreams. I'm with ya!

I've had slight pneumonia in one lung and it took me weeks to get over it..its hard to breath and it weakens you..never mind singing. I think she might of had the flu and things got exaggerated a bit in the Stevie world.

Thank you so much! You're so sweet! Happy Birthday to you as well!

Oh woe is me!
I worked so hard,
I could not be
at work on time

Not me, nor Annabel Lee
that demon child
who tempted me
to cancel dates
'cause I thought

those terrorists
were after me.

So I invented a strain
of flu that no one had
and I felt the pain
and I said I was so sad

And the fans believed
just like they always had
they believed me,
and Annabel Lee.

So I stayed in bed,
and I watched "Glee,"
because I was scared
and so lazy.

I laid down,
but still they paid
for my CD, the fans
and Annabel Lee.

And I laid down
in my four-star room
I laid down, as I always do
I laid down, I laid down

I lay down, I lay down
and collected the highest fee
I lay down, I lay down
with the best view of the sea

I lay down, I lay down
I have no pride
but I still got my fee

I lay down
I laid down
with an excuse
and my TV

I lay down
I lay down, down, down.

That was stupid.

It will just prove my point.

If she is really sick right now with pneumonia, she will have to cancel all of her appearances for the next month. If the doctor(s) came to the conclusion that she can't fly or travel anywhere because of her illness, then it's really serious and (at her age), she''ll need extended bed rest and care. Her publicist released a statement saying she has pneumonia. That's not a walk in the park in the sun and then you're better.

If she really is that sick, then I wish her a good recovery, but she's used the flu-bronchitis-shtick in the past. And would someone like Stevie Nicks really let her publicist boss her around and schedule 46 interviews in two days? I HAVE to wonder. I can't help it. I've been watching this woman behave and misbehave for almost 40 years. I want to believe the press release, but there's something about the whole thing that just smacks of unbelievable.

If I'm wrong, then I retreat into my own little world and the rest of you don't have to bother with me. And so what? I've played my cards and paid my dues for many, many years. I have bought all the records and paid the price many times over for the concert tickets, which is why I'm wondering if I'm a fool for all of the homage I've paid over the years. There's just something in the timing of this and the language of the press release that gets my back up. I'm having a hard time believing any of it.

If anyone has any proof that can tell me otherwise, then let it be. I'll be glad to buy into it once again. I don't have that many other things in life to look forward to at my age. If Stevie's juggernaut is for real, I'll pay for the ticket and swallow my pride. If not, then I've lost something precious that I believed in for a long time.

It crossed my mind right away like I said. I know it might seem "ludicrous" to some people, but I'm not in Stevie's head so I don't know what she thinks. I know people who won't set foot in an elevator because they've been stuck in them before. I can't really relate, because I haven't had that experience. I know people don't want to believe that maybe she is afraid to be in NYC right now, because that would seem inconsiderate to her fans to cancel the show and appearances but it wouldn't be unthinkable either. I don't know either way, but it is a real concern for people in this area especially, and if Stevie does feel apprehensive I wouldn't blame her. Just was reading the following article.

Thanks for posting that, but actually it only says Borgata is still on in the sense that any one of us could 'say' it's still on - i.e. because we haven't heard it's been cancelled yet. There is nothing in the bit of the press release they quoted that contains any reassurance that it's still on, and the release itself is from Monday. So I wouldn't set too much store by that.

A person with pneumonia usually begins to improve after three to five days of antibiotic treatment. Improvement may be defined as feeling better or having fewer symptoms, such as cough and fever. Fatigue and a persistent, but milder, cough can last for up to one month, although most people are able to resume their usual activities within seven days.

So...maybe it's possible she'll be better for Friday?

I'm sorry to keep harping on about this, but me and at least one other Ledgie (hi, Elle!) saw a tweet stating that at least one press commitment was rescheduled by Stevie on (I think) Friday of last week. It was a phone interview. Now, if she was not up to phoning on Friday, it is perfectly possible that that was the illness really getting into its stride and not peaking till maybe Sunday, which is when the docs had to make the judgement call to tell her she couldn't fly in time for Today and Webster Hall, etc.

I'm hoping very much that she is over the worst. It is perfectly possible to have a 'touch' of pneumonia, but even a touch is something a person of her age and health profile should not mess with.

It would not surprise me in the least if Borgata doesn't hit the dust within the next 24 hours. But even if it doesn't, and even if you really think she doesn't care about her fans, nothing will convince me that Stevie Nicks jerked people like Dave Stewart and Sheryl Crow around to duck out of a once-in-a-lifetime celebration of her career because she was too spooked to get on a plane. I mean, what even makes you think she'd have flown commercially anyway? She could've handpicked a pilot and gone private.

I just think she's ill. And I hope she's getting better.
