Stevie Nicks has paid emotional tribute to her former Fleetwood Mac bandmate Christine McVie, who died in December,
Nicks made the tribute at the end of the opening night of the Two Icons, One Night tour – a co-headlining run of dates with Billy Joel – on Friday at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. At the climax of a set that included versions of Fleetwood Mac’s Dreams, Gypsy, Gold Dust Woman and Sara, Nicks returned to the stage for two more: Rhiannon and Landslide.
Landslide begins with images of Nicks and McVie projected onto the backdrop, and at the end of the song a clearly emotional Nicks quietly says, “There’s really not much to say. We just pretend that she’s still here. That’s how I’m trying to deal with it.”
Earlier in the set, Nicks had also paid tribute to Tom Petty, who died in 2017, by performing Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around, a song she originally recorded with Petty for her first solo album, Bella Donna, in 1981. She was joined onstage for the duet with Billy Joel. Later in the set, Nicks performed Petty’s 1989 single Free Fallin‘. Video of both tributes can be watched below.
Stevie Nicks’ next scheduled show with Billy Joel is at the AT&T Stadium, in Arlington, TX, on April 8. She also has a number of solo shows lined up. Details below.
