Her impact on the band’s success during the late 1970s and early 1980s, particularly with the release of the highly acclaimed album Rumours solidified her as a musical powerhouse
The record sold over 40 million copies worldwide, making it the 5th best-selling album of the 1970s and the 9th best-selling album of all time.
She has also had a significant solo career with hits like Edge of Seventeen and Stand Back.
Tickets go on sale on March 6 at 10am.
In October, Stevie confirmed that the November 30th death of her beloved bandmate Christine McVie put the final nail in the coffin for Fleetwood Mac following five decades.
The classic line-up – including John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, and Mick Fleetwood – performed for the final time together during their MusiCares tribute at Radio City Music Hall in Manhattan in 2018.
Shortly after, Buckingham was fired and replaced with singer-guitarist Mike Campbell and musician Neil Finn, who joined Fleetwood Mac for their 88-date An Evening with Fleetwood Mac tour in 2018-2019.
‘We had a really great time and it was a huge tour. That was there in the realm of possibility,’ the rock queen told Vulture.

‘But when Christine died, I felt like you can’t replace her. You just can’t. Without her, what is it? You know what I mean?
‘She was like my soul mate, my musical soul mate, and my best friend that I spent more time with than any of my other best friends outside of Fleetwood Mac.’
Stevie compared her relationship with the British keyboardist-singer to Taylor Swift’s 2022 song You’re on Your Own, Kid where she wrote the line ‘you always have been.’
‘That was Christine and I. We were on our own in that band. We always were. We protected each other,’ Nicks explained.
‘Who am I going to look over to on the right and have them not be there behind that Hammond organ? When she died, I figured we really can’t go any further with this. There’s no reason to.’
