Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks' Tough Decision Has Fans Sounding Off
Stevie Nicks has declared she will not be performing for the rest of 2021 as the coronavirus cases [...]
For the most part, Nicks was praised for being "conscientious" regarding her fans' well-being.
prevnextThat’s a conscientious artist. When your fans matter, you make the best decision for them; and in this climate, choosing health over money is always the right decision. Love me some @StevieNicks https://t.co/rWSVmT0fxa

"Totally understandable," a fan wrote. They added that they felt optimistic that 2022 will offer a greater chance to gather safely should more people get vaccinated.
prevnextTotally understandable. I'm 65 and though vaccinated, feel the need to be cautious and help keep everyone safe. Let's hope that 2022 will be a great year for concerts and singing again.

Something one fan hopes for would be an online concert featuring Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham. While it's unlikely the pair will perform together again, an online concert live stream could be a possible solution for those wanting to hear the star sing.

Fans, like this user, shared that they'd rather the singer stay healthy at home since "we are not getting any younger."
prevnextAw .. We love you. I’d rather you stayed healthy, at home. After all we are not getting any younger.

"Thank you Stevie for all the great music in the past and the great music you will have in the future," someone said.
prevnextThank you Stevie for all the great music in the past and the great music you will have in the future. Any to keep fans and yourself safe is the right decision. Highly disappointed no live music from you this year, but hey - how about a livestream?

Nicks only had five more shows on her schedule which, as this user says, would've likely kept her "up on stage, far from crowd, minimal exposure." As she said, her decision was made to protect her fans and limit exposure.
prevI respect her decision. Stevie Nicks would have been up on stage, far from crowd, minimal exposure.Its clear she is more concerned about people who would be attending the concert. No vaccines, no mask mandate, crowded area and possibly stoned= higher risk for them too.
