    Stevie performs at Don Henley’s 70th birthday gig

    Stevie Nicks joined Don Henley onstage for his 70th birthday bash concert at the American Airlines Arena in Dallas on Saturday night. Stevie’s appearance was announced several months ago, but it was marketed as a surprise to ticket holders.

    Stevie and Don performed their smash hit duet “Leather and Lace” from Stevie’s 1981 solo album debut Bella Donna. Stevie then played the tambourine for the following song, Don’s hit single “Boys of Summer” from his 1984 album Building the Perfect Beast.

    Stevie returned to the stage at the end of the show, playing the tambourine for “All She Wants to Do Is Dance,” (another hit single from Building the Perfect Beast ) and remained onstage for the set closer, The Beatles’ cover “Birthday.”

    Other guests appearing at the show were Patty Smyth and Eagles members Timothy B. Schmit and Joe Walsh.

    Stevie to perform @Don Henley 70th Bday show

    Stevie Nicks is tentatively scheduled to perform at Don Henley’s July 22nd 70th birthday celebration concert at American Airlines Center in Dallas, according to a report. Though her appearance has not yet been officially confirmed, the Dallas Morning News has learned that Stevie and Eagles members Timothy B. Schmidt and Joe Walsh are among the special guests.

  • Dueling duos

    Dueling duos

    Justin Bieber (“Love Yourself,” “Sorry”) and Selena Gomez (“Hands to Myself, “Same Old Love”) are both in the Billboard Top 10 this week, prompting the following question: “Have any other former couples previously shared space in the top 10 with separate hits?”

    On the Dec. 26, 1981 Hot 100, Stevie Nicks ranked at No. 8 with “Leather and Lace,” which had reached the top 10 the week before. On the Dec. 26, chart, Lindsey Buckingham rose to No. 10 with “Trouble,” joining her in the bracket. The latter would spend three total weeks at No. 10 before climbing to its No. 9 peak for two weeks, all while “Leather and Lace” remained in the top 10, lifting to its No. 6 peak in the former’s final week in the region.

    So, for five weeks in 1981-82, Nicks and Buckingham each placed in the Hot 100’s top 10 simultaneously with their own songs. (Like Bieber and Gomez this week, they avoided back-to-back chart contact throughout that stretch.) Making things potentially more awkward, Nicks had moved on to another … as her hit is a duet, of course, with Don Henley (whom she did date).

    “Relations with Lindsey are exactly as they have been since we broke up,” according to Nicks, who dated Buckingham in the ’70s, helping lead to Fleetwood Mac’s iconic breakup-inspired album, 1977’s Rumours, as they remained bandmates (after first teaming as duo Buckingham Nicks). “He and I will always be antagonizing to each other, and we will always do things that will irritate each other, and we really know how to push each other’s buttons.

    “We know exactly what to say when we really want to throw a dagger in. And, I think that that’s not different now than it was when we were 20. And, I don’t think it will be different when we’re 80.”

    (Beyond continuing in Fleetwood Mac to this day, Nicks and Buckingham teamed 20 years ago this year for “Twisted,” a single worth revisiting from the movie Twister.)

    As for Bieber and Gomez reuniting … not just in the Hot 100’s top 10? Gomez recently said, bluntly: “What I would love to be printed is that I am so beyond done with talking about that, and him.”

    Bieber is more nostalgic, and hopeful. “We have a lot of history together, so it could possibly happen. I think we’re both just on our own journeys, figuring ourselves out. Once we’ve figured ourselves out, we could maybe come together and make an awesome duo.”

    Stevie Nicks devastated by Glenn Frey’s death

    Glenn Frey, guitarist and founding member of the legendary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band The Eagles, died Monday, January 18, in New York, succumbing to complications from Rheumatoid Arthritis, Acute Ulcerative Colitis and Pneumonia. The Eagles family published the following statement on its official website:

    It Is With The Heaviest of Hearts That We Announce…

    …the passing of our comrade, Eagles founder, Glenn Frey, in New York City on Monday, January 18th, 2016. Glenn fought a courageous battle for the past several weeks but, sadly, succumbed to complications from Rheumatoid Arthritis, Acute Ulcerative Colitis and Pneumonia.

    The Frey family would like to thank everyone who joined Glenn to fight this fight and hoped and prayed for his recovery. Words can neither describe our sorrow, nor our love and respect for all that he has given to us, his family, the music community & millions of fans worldwide.

    Cindy Frey | Taylor Frey | Deacon Frey | Otis Frey|
    Don Henley | Joe Walsh | Timothy B. Schmit | Bernie Leadon | Irving Azoff

    Eagles drummer Don Henley issued the following tribute to Frey:

    “He was like a brother to me; we were family, and like most families, there was some dysfunction. But, the bond we forged 45 years ago was never broken, even during the 14 years that the Eagles were dissolved. We were two young men who made the pilgrimage to Los Angeles with the same dream: to make our mark in the music industry — and with perseverance, a deep love of music, our alliance with other great musicians and our manager, Irving Azoff, we built something that has lasted longer than anyone could have dreamed. But, Glenn was the one who started it all. He was the spark plug, the man with the plan. He had an encyclopedic knowledge of popular music and a work ethic that wouldn’t quit. He was funny, bullheaded, mercurial, generous, deeply talented and driven. He loved is wife and kids more than anything. We are all in a state of shock, disbelief and profound sorrow. We brought our two-year ‘History of the Eagles Tour’ to a triumphant close at the end of July and now he is gone. I’m not sure I believe in fate, but I know that crossing paths with Glenn Lewis Frey in 1970 changed my life forever, and it eventually had an impact on the lives of millions of other people all over the planet. It will be very strange going forward in a world without him in it. But, I will be grateful, every day, that he was in my life. Rest in peace, my brother. You did what you set out to do, and then some.”

    Stevie and Frey last appeared together in 2014 at the 29th Annual Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony, where they paid tribute to inductee Linda Ronstadt by performing her single “It’s So Easy” with Sheryl Crow, Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris and Carrie Underwood. Stevie met Frey in the mid-’70s when Fleetwood Mac and The Eagles were rising to global prominence.

    Lyrics

    It don’t matter to the sun
    If you go or if you stay
    No, the sun is gonna rise, gonna rise
    Shine down on another day
    There will be a tomorrow
    Even if you choose to leave
    ‘Cause it don’t matter to the sun, no, no
    It matters to meIt ain’t gonna change the world
    If you walk out that door
    This old world will just keep spinnin’ ’round
    Spinnin’ ’round
    Like it did the day before
    ‘Cause to them it makes no difference
    It just keeps on keepin’ time
    It ain’t gonna stop the world, no, no
    It’ll be the end of mine

    What can I say
    What can I do
    I’m still in love
    Why aren’t youIt don’t matter to the moon
    If you’re not in my life
    No, the moon will just keep hangin’ ’round
    Hangin’ ’round
    Like it’s just another night
    You’ll find another place to shine down
    On some other lover’s dreams
    It don’t matter to the moon, no
    It matters to me

    It don’t matter to the moon, no, no
    But it matters to me
