Back in August, Stevie Nicks was forced to postpone several of her tour dates after fracturing her shoulder, and now she’s revealing just how bad things got.

According to People, during her concert Wednesday in Brooklyn, New York, Stevie opened up to the crowd about her recovery.

“For a long time it was really over,” Nicks told her fans. “And I just want you to know that because of you, because of you, I said to myself from the very first day that I got back to L.A. one day later, ‘Well, I’m not gonna deal with this well, so I’m gonna have to just get well.'”

“Because I can’t do this. I can’t be away from my people,” she added.

And while recovery wasn’t easy, Stevie noted, “It doesn’t matter because the more it hurts, the more you know it’s getting better. And so, I am bringing the best shoulder I can to you tonight.”

Stevie has five more shows left on her 2025 tour. Her next stop is Boston on Nov. 24. A complete list of dates can be found at StevieNicksOfficial.com.

Gordon Lightfoot’s 1976 tune “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” is back on the Billboard charts.

The renewed interest in the track coincides with the 50th anniversary of the sinking of the freighter of the same name on Nov. 10, 1975, in which 29 crew members were lost.

According to Billboard, during the week of the anniversary the song saw a 140% increase in streams to 3.7 million streams and a 328% increase in sales, which amounted to 5,000 downloads. The bump resulted in the song jumping to #1 on the Rock Digital Songs Sales chart, making it the late Lightfoot’s third #1 on that chart.

The tune also lands at #22 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart and #4 on the Digital Songs Sales chart.

And Lightfoot’s other tunes benefited from the Edmond Fitzgerald anniversary as well, with 1974’s “Sundown” landing at #6 and 1970’s “If You Could Read My Mind” at #10 on the Rock Digital Songs Sales chart.

“The Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald” appeared on Lightfoot’s 1976 album, Summertime Dream, and peaked at #2 on the Hot 100 when it was initially released.

David Bowie’s 10th studio album, Station to Station, is getting reissued to celebrate its 50th anniversary.

The album is being released as a limited-edition 50th anniversary half-speed mastered vinyl, and as a picture disc that comes with a poster reproduction of an archival ad for the album. Both formats will drop on Jan. 23, 2026, 50 years to the day of the original album’s release.

The follow-up to 1975’s Young Americans, Station to Station saw Bowie introduce a new persona, the Thin White Duke. Co-produced by Bowie and Harry Maslin, the rocker was influenced by electronic dance music, as well as a genre of German experimental rock known as krautrock.

Station to Station peaked at #3 on the Billboard album chart and at the time was Bowie’s highest-charting album in the U.S.

The lead single, “Golden Years,” spent 16 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #10. The tune would later be used for the soundtrack to the 2001 Heath Ledger movie A Knight’s Tale.

The 50th anniversary reissue of Station to Station is available for preorder now.

Mick Jagger just went back to school.

The Rolling Stones frontman paid a visit to The Mick Jagger Centre at Dartford Grammar School in Kent, England, on Wednesday as part of the Centre’s 25th anniversary celebration. Jagger went to Dartford Grammar before going on to study at the London School of Economics.

“It was a great privilege for me to visit my old school today and meet some of the inspiring young students,” Jagger wrote on Instagram alongside pictures and video of the visit. “I really enjoyed getting to hear them sing and play!”

The school’s headmaster Julian Metcalf called Jagger’s visit “very special and icing on the cake.”

Jagger has been funding a project, called Red Rooster, since 2003 that covers weekly music tuition for over 1,200 local children. The students performed for him during his visit, and video posted to Instagram shows that he joined in on a performance of The Stones’ “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.”

Jagger also got a chance to talk to the students and was given a tour of the school. He was even presented a trophy to the Dartford Grammar basketball team.

Aerosmith and Yungblud are set to release their collaborative EP, One More Time, on Friday. They recently released an acoustic take on its first single, “My Only Angel,” featuring actor and comedian Steve Martin, who plays banjo on the track.

The Only Murders in the Building star tells ABC Audio that the invite to appear on the song came “out of the blue.” He notes that he heard from his agent that Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler was trying to reach him, so Martin told his agent to give him his number.

“(Tyler) sent me a little sample of it. And the first thing I think of is, you know, can I even play this? I’ve never played rock ‘n’ roll like that,” Martin says. “So I send him a sample of like, ‘Is this what you mean?’ And then they used it.”

And while he may have been concerned about his contribution, Martin seems pretty happy with the final product.

“I thought it was really good,” he says. “Really, it was so catchy and rock ‘n’ roll and his voice is extraordinary.” He adds, “I was impressed with myself.” 

Martin’s version of the song doesn’t actually appear on the EP, but it’s currently available to stream on YouTube.

The five-song One More Time is the first new music from Aerosmith since their last studio album, 2012’s Music From Another Dimension. Prior to the EP announcement, Yungblud performed with Tyler and Joe Perry during the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards on Sept. 7 for a tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne.

A two-day pop-up celebrating One More Time is taking place Friday and Saturday at Complex LA, featuring exclusive merch and more.

The rest of the top five is not all that surprising either, with The Rolling Stones at #2, followed by Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Queen.

Rounding out the top 10 are Fleetwood Mac, U2, Sly & The Family Stone, Black Sabbath and Nirvana.
