Stevie Nicks will begin a four-night stand at the Colosseum at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas on May 10, under the moniker "Dreams." "I am looking forward to it because it's a chance to play and do something where you don't really have to travel," the artist said backstage last night (March 14) at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in New York.

"So, for me, as an almost 57-year-old woman, this looks very good, because it means you can put all of your energy into the show as opposed to traveling all over the United States," she added. "It would be a nice thing for me to be able to do until I'm a very old, little old lady."

Nicks says the show will consist of "favorite songs, which you don't always get to do. This is a chance for me to go back through all those many, many years and pick out a few songs I haven't always done. It's always exciting to do some new music."

The artist would not comment on reports that she will tour this summer with Don Henley, saying only, "I can't talk about that because I'm not sure. I really don't know."

As for Fleetwood Mac, which played nearly 140 shows in support of the 2003 comeback album "Say You Will," Nicks says, "We're just resting right now, because we feel that as all wonderful things go, you come out and you make a big show of it, and then you go away for a little bit and rest, so when you come back, it's all wonderful again."

Added drummer Mick Fleetwood, who held Nicks' hand tightly while answering questions, "I think there's always a Fleetwood Mac story somewhere." Asked if longtime member Christine McVie would ever return to the fold, he replied, "I think [the chances are] very, very slim [or] next to nothing, so I will say no. But we miss her."

fuck them all....christine offered to do studio work with them.....but nooooo..., "what if one of her songs is a hit?" said nicks...

well soo fucking what!!!!



that album would have been a classic with mcvie's songs added to balance it out..as it was, there was way too much nicks and way way way to much buckingam..

and they seem happy with it..

bring back christine for the albums i say...do it for the legacy of the band you fucking twits!!

i miss christine.

sosgemini said:

You really think Stevie felt that way about her? I really don't know much about it. I can't say I really like Cristine McVie's voice, though "lies' is a great song. Stevie on another hand has a great voice (in my opinion) and i'd love to see her in concert.

dancerella said:

thats what she said...i guess when they were discussing doing the album they were all on board but christine...christine said she would contribute to the album (like she always had) but was not interested in touring....i think its a silly justification for keeping christine off the album...stevie could have sung the songs...or they could have played a video of it...

i too prefer stevie's vocals over christine...but i honestly feel that the three of them (christine, stevie and lindsey) really challenge each other and compliment each other well..(hey, sorta like wendy, lisa and prince)..with one missing, its just not the same...

sosgemini said:

i don't miss christine at all. lindsey and stevie are the only two reasons i'm a fan of the mac. to hear someone say there is too much buckingham on the last record just sounds absurd to me. it was lindsey who kept the band from becoming irrelevant in the music scene and from fading into obscurity. fleetwood mac came out with one of the best records of their career with "say you will" and half of it was from lindsey's solo work, "gift of screws". what happened to those mac records that came out when lindsey wasn't in the band?

SassyBritches said:

im sorry, why is my own personal taste and opinion on this album absurd? i can only enjoy his music to a point..and "say you will" reached my saturation point...no big thang chicken wang...you like it, good for you.

SassyBritches said:

see my second to last post... this is not an issue of lindsey vs. christine vs. stevie with me...

sosgemini said:

love, you are terribly defensive...were you abused as a child? i wasn't bashing your opinion or anything, i was just responding to your opinion with my own.

SassyBritches said:

SassyBritches said:

Can I just be the second to say: WTF?

VoicesCarry said:

what?

SassyBritches said:

"Were you abused as a child?" It came out of nowhere, and it's a pretty nasty thing to say.

VoicesCarry said:

not to mention pathetic..


i guess my responce should have been:

"no, but were you raised without tact and now have a lack of "real" friends in the real world because far too often you offend people with before mentioned lack of tact?"

Stevie Nicks is the main reason for me to buy a Fleetwood Mac album.

I was disappointed when Christine left, but whatever.

I did not buy her solo album last year.

Nick715 said:

christine released a solo album?

Yes it came out in September on Koch Records.

It disappeared quickly!

well...imnotsayinthisjust2bnasty.

geez, y'all need to relax a bit. you'd think i shot the pope or something. fer fuck's sake.

sosgemini said:

i'm certain i wasn't the only one who got a mild chuckle out of it. besides, i'm not the one who got all bent out of shape because someone disagreed with me.

SassyBritches said:

i miss him....

VoicesCarry said:

...and sos was being too sensitive, that's where it "came" from.

SassyBritches said:

actually, you were the one who got bent out of shape cause i said i didnt care for "say you will"..

thats what initiated my responce...

SassyBritches said:

No, I'm sorry, sos wasn't being nasty, but your response was. That's a ridiculous thing to say, honestly, sassy. I don't think people got a chuckle out of it - I certainly don't normally associate child abuse with chuckles. Especially since you appeared completely serious about it. If you sarcastically asked someone that on the street, they wouldn't chuckle, they'd probably punch your face in.

VoicesCarry said:

hmmm...i guess its all in the delivery.

i'll hafta work on that.

sosgemini said:

i wasn't bent out of shape at all, lol - i was just stating my opinion.

y'all are saying some of the most ignorant things in this thread...it was never stevie v. christine...in fact, stevie WROTE the song SAY YOU WILL about Chrisitne, wanting her to come back. Chris knew Stevie was the "sex symbol" in the band back in the day and she says to this day that she was ok with it.

And for all you Lindsey Buckingham bashers...where do you think all of Stevie's successful fleetwood mac songs came from?
