    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 joins Harry Styles @ secret LA show

    Stevie joins Harry Styles @ secret LA show

    Stevie made a surprise appearance at The Troubadour in Los Angeles on Friday night, performing onstage with One Direction star Harry Styles. Harry was promoting his eponymous debut solo album, which was released on May 12.

    Stevie came onstage toward the end of the show. Harry affirmed to the crowd that he was in the presence of greatness.

    “I’m pretty sure that this was going to be up there with one of the best nights of my life. If there was any doubt, I’m pretty sure I’d like to confirm, in my entire life, I never thought I’d be able to say this: Please welcome to the stage, Stevie Nicks.”

    Stevie first accompanied Harry on his song “Two Ghosts,” and then the two performed “Landslide” and “Leather and Lace,” serenading each other to thunderous audience appreciation.

    A big fan of Stevie’s, Harry was instantly brought to tears when the legendary Miss Nicks came out onstage.

  • 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.”

    TODAY IN STEVIE HISTORY: Stevie performs Leather & Lace with Maroon 5

    On July 25, 2011, Stevie joined Maroon 5 during the encore of the band’s Hollywood Bowl show for a crowd-pleasing rendition of Stevie and Don Henley’s 1981 hit duet “Leather and Lace.” With Stevie stepping up her vocals and lead singer Adam Levine assuming Henley’s high tenor role, the performance received a thunderous ovation from the audience. Stevie played up the onstage antics by playfully offering her hand to Adam, who responded by kneeling and bowing before her. The crowd roared in approval.

    Both acts have mutual respect and love for each others’ music.
