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.

De La Soul is gearing up for the release of their first album in nine years, Cabin in the Sky, and Kelvin “Posdnuos” Mercertells Billboard he’s “feeling absolutely beautiful.”
“I’m really happy and proud of this album, proud of all we’ve accomplished. When you get to that finish line and you’ve realized things that you’ve had in your mind are now manifested,” he says.
Although it’s the first album they’ve released since the death of David “Trugoy the Dove” Jolicoeur, Pos says their late member was very much present during the album-making process.
“I can say without question [Dave] is here, his spirit, his energy, it’s very much a part of this album,” he tells Billboard. “Anything that he had placed in certain songs that we chose to use, all of that is felt. In that regard alone, that’s a success. But I really, really feel like De La fans are going to love this album.”
One of the ways Dave is represented on the album is the title and cover art, which features two figures with their heads in the clouds, with a cabin on top of the clouds.
“It plays off our own partner who has transitioned and where he is,” Pos says. “You know, as I explained in the title track, ‘Does he have his cabin? How many acres did he get?’ If you did really well, took care of yourself, helped others, do you get more acreage with his cabin? So it’s like, your mansion or your home in the sky in heaven.”
Cabin in the Sky, an album that simultaneously touches on joy and pain, and includes “a lot of therapy,” arrives on Friday. It’s the latest to come out on Mass Appeal’s Legend Has It series.

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.
