Stevie Nicks Cancels Performance and Celebration of First CD in a Decade

[Jondalar]

Didn't Rod Stewart have the flu?

[jellyman10]

Y'know, this CD is the biggest thing to happen to Stevie in a decade. She was absolutely stoked about it. Everything was going great. So if she cancels on the eve of the official launch, then that means she's really sick, and while I have sympathy for people who're losing time and money, I can't help thinking it's not the big picture. I'm seeing some pretty angry and selfish stuff going on over on Twitter right now, but all I can think of is that I want her to be OK.

Not necessarily. This could be a way for some more publicity down the road, esp. if Dave decides to film the event. I think Stevie should now do something extra for it - like perform the whole album instead of just 6 new songs.

In any event, I feel bad for everybody who spent the $ and made the trip. And I'm sure Stevie is feeling frustrated as hell. Bet she's glad Oprah had her on weeks ago.

Obviously everyone wants her to be OK and go nowhere until she is fully healed.

But people have a right to be upset at the situation...NOT Stevie.

That's what they said. I don't know if he really did (and if she really does) cuz media throws the term "flu" around pretty loosely. It's a bit late in the season to get it, but not impossible esp. if she's been traveling lately.

If she truly does have physician-diagnosed flu & pneumonia, then it's nothing to f*ck with & she really should not perform.

I feel sick for those of you who had tix, esp. those traveling to get there.

[RockAlot]

Wow! Poor Dani, she was almost there! Sending best wishes to you miss Nicks!

I'm wondering if she'll make it to the Indio show on the 13th, I have 4th row tickets!!

However I can still canc. hotel rsvp etc. if she canc.

[CreepingDeath]

I hope she gets well soon.

I remember when she had to cancel a TISL show I was going to here in Las Vegas, when she rescheduled, she played two days instead of just one. Maybe something like that will happen.

I know it wouldn't make up for this, though. I feel really bad for you guys.

[StandbackStevie]

I am really sorry for everyone that made travel plans and accomadations to go to the show and wish Stevie a speedy recovery and hopefully she will reschedule the Webster Hall Show soon. Stevie has my prayers going out to her and hope she gets well soon Pneumonia and flu together is not good, I get bronchitis had that about 2 weeks ago with the bad allergies and sinus infections. Ugh

[StevieRox81]

Well, first I hope Stevie gets better soon. Pneumonia really freaks me out. What awful timing. This week really was going to be historic for her.

Second...I am so incredibly bummed out. I just cancelled my hotel reservations for NYC.

I called her PR office and asked about The Borgata show...as of right now, it is tentatively still on...not going to cancel my train and AC hotel reservations yet. The girl I spoke to at Liz's office was just as bummed as we all are about the show on Wednesday...it was going to be really special.

So sad those of us that were going on Wednesday won't be able to celebrate the album release with Stevie...sending "get well wishes" Stevie's way!!!

Rock's Reigning Queen Suffering From Pneumonia

NEW YORK, May 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Stevie Nicks, whose highly anticipated new CD "In Your Dreams" - scheduled to be released tomorrow May 3rd, has had to cancel several upcoming appearances in New York due to coming down with pneumonia and the flu. Her doctor informed her over the weekend that she needed to "stay in bed and not fly" until she gets better. Nicks was scheduled to perform at a star studded event thrown in her honor by her record label Reprise Records at NY's Webster Hall on May 4th and was also planning on appearing on the Today Show and Good Day NY on May 3rd.

"I want to apologize to all my fans and hope that we can reschedule and of course I hope you love the new album. It's for you," commented Nicks.

"The gypsy queen is in royal form on 'In Your Dreams' — it's not just her first album in 10 years, it's her finest collection of songs since the Eighties," commented Rolling Stone in its review of Nicks' new CD.

Anyone else remember the SAME THING happening with Stevie around the release of TISL? She had to cancel many shows because of bronchitis, I believe it was.

Yes, I went to the Mt. View (Calif) show annd it wasnt till I was checking into the motel that the clerk told me the show had been canceled!!

A few weeks later saw her at the Santa Barbara show, her first few songs you could hera it in her voice she had been/still was sick however she did the rest of the show in true Stevie spirt!!!

[daniellaaarisen]

I'm in NYC right now... I can't believe I just spent $1000 on this for no reason. I'm literally I'm shock...

And I spent $75 on urgent care yesterday to get antibiotics for a bad sinus infection.... what am supposed to do now, stay in NYC? Fly home? Ugh.

[Lee]

Yeah, thanks a lot, Rod!

Poor Stevie. Hope she recovers quickly. I remember getting pneumonia in eighth grade. Missed two weeks of school & coughed my head off. I imagine that it's even harder on an older person.

I was going to tape The Today Show tomorrow since I'd be @ work.

Yeah, sorry to all the people going to her shows, too.

Get well soon, Stevie!

I'm so sorry for Stevie and all of her fans...
