Stevie Nicks Delays 2025 Tour After Shoulder Fracture, Reunion Rumors Heat Up
Avery Sinclair here. Oh, this should be good. Paddle out your patience because Stevie Nicks is officially putting the brakes on her 2025 North American solo tour. In an Instagram statement dated August 1, the 77-year-old rock legend disclosed she suffered a fractured shoulder that demands a lengthy recovery, forcing her to push back shows scheduled in August and September. Fortunately, fans can breathe easy about the October dates, which are locked in and good to go.
What happened? According to the statement shared on Stevie’s verified Instagram account and reported by E! News, the “Edge of Seventeen” hitmaker fractured her shoulder in an incident she has yet to detail. The injury “will require recovery time,” her team noted, so all concerts set from August 1 through September 30 will be rescheduled. Fans holding tickets are told to “hang onto them,” because every previously purchased ticket will be honored on the new dates.
When’s the comeback? The revised trek will pick back up on October 1 in Portland, Oregon, with the remainder of the tour untouched. Stevie wrapped up her announcement with an apology to fans for the inconvenience and a promise she’s eager to see everyone “soon.”
Is there a silver lining? Possibly. Rumors of a Buckingham Nicks reunion have been swirling ever since Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie each posted a lyric from their 1973 track “Frozen Love” on social media within hours of each other. Fleetwood Mac cofounder Mick Fleetwood added fuel to the fire when he praised that very song’s magic in an Instagram clip on July 18. Although neither Stevie nor Lindsey have confirmed a joint tour or album, the timing of these posts has fans speculating that the solo postponement could clear the way for a bigger reunion.
Injury hall of fame Stevie is far from the only star to go public with a health setback lately. Lupita Nyong’o revealed in a 2025 Instagram post that she’s spent more than a decade “suffering in silence” with uterine fibroids. Daisy Jones & The Six’s Suki Waterhouse admitted a case of extremely tight pants caused a hernia this July. Brian Austin Green surprised followers in April when he shared a recent emergency room trip for a perforated appendix just shy of a full rupture. And comedian Adam Devine reminded audiences on a podcast earlier this year that a childhood accident involving a cement truck still haunts him with muscle spasms and chronic pain.
So there you have it – Stevie Nicks is trading her platform boots for an ice pack and physical therapy for a couple months. As for a Buckingham Nicks comeback, we’ll keep our eyes peeled on Instagram, because apparently that’s today’s equivalent of rolling news.
And that’s today’s dose of reality. You’re welcome.
