Stevie Nicks has pulled out of her five festival shows scheduled for the fall, citing concern for rising COVID-19 cases. “I want everyone to be safe and healthy and the rising Covid cases should be of concern to all of us,” Stevie wrote in a statement. “For that reason, I have decided to skip the 5 performances I had planned for 2021.” Stevie broke the news to fans on her Facebook page and other social media Tuesday afternoon.

At 73, Stevie has sensibly prioritized health and wellness in order to keep performing. “Because singing and performing have been my whole life, my primary goal is to keep healthy so I can continue singing for the next decade or longer.” No one would argument that!

Stevie Nicks is fully vaccinated! On Monday, Stevie did her part to encourage others to get the COVID-19 vaccination by sharing that she was “proud to be part of 29% of fully-vaccinated Americans!” She has also been responsibly wearing her mask when out and about for essential tasks, like getting an eye exam back in July 2020.

The objective of all this is “herd immunity” against the COVID-19 coronavirus, which is reached when enough people in the population have recovered from a disease and have developed protective antibodies against future infection, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Basically, that means life can start to return to normal, and we can resume fun activities, like going to a Stevie Nicks concert! So follow Stevie’s lead and get fully vaccinated!
