Rodriguez/Getty Images) Rock icon Stevie Nicks is adding shows to her upcoming U.S. tour following the cancellation of concert dates with the ailing Billy Joel. Nicks was set to join Joel for four shows during her 2025 U.S. concert tour, beginning on Aug. 8 with a concert at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford New Jersey. However, Joel was forced to cancel all upcoming concerts while he is being treated for the brain disorder normal pressure hydrocephalus, or NPH. Joel was also set to co-headline with Nicks on Oct. 4 in Santa Clara, Calif., Oct. 18 in New Orleans and Nov. 15 in Detroit. The former Fleetwood Mac singer will kick off her 2025 U.S. solo tour on Aug. 8, in Brooklyn, N.Y., which is one of eight new shows she added to her upcoming schedule of shows. In addition, Nicks added concerts on Sept. 3 in Hollywood, Fla., Sept. 7 in Detroit, Oct. 1 in Portland, Ore., Oct. 4 in Sacramento, Calif., Oct. 18 in Atlantic City, N.J., Oct. 21 in Charlotte, N.C. and Oct. 25 in Hartford, Conn. Stevie Nicks announced the new tour dates and her revised schedule on her website and on social media on Monday. Nicks' site has links to where tickets can be purchased for all shows on her upcoming tour, as well as the new dates. Pre-sale tickets will go on sale on Wednesday at 10 a.m. ET and general ticket sales start Friday at 10 a.m. Nicks, of course, wrote and sang some of Fleetwood Mac's biggest hits, including 'Dreams,' 'Rhiannon,' 'I Don't Wanna Know,' 'Gold Dust Woman,' 'Landslide' and 'Seven Wonders.' The 77-singer-songwriter's solo hits include 'Edge of Seventeen,' 'Stand Back,' 'If Anyone Falls,' 'Stop Draggin' My Heart Around' (with Tom Petty) and 'Leather and Lace' (with Don Henley). Stevie Nicks has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice. The first induction came in 1998 when she joined the Rock Hall as a member of Fleetwood Mac, along with bandmates Christine McVie, John McVie, Lindsay Buckingham and Mick Fleetwood. In 2019, Nicks became the first woman in Rock Hall history to be inducted twice when she was enshrined as a solo artist.

Billy Joel is ‘not dying' with brain disorder, says Howard Stern
Billy Joel doesn't want fans to worry about his well-being after he canceled all upcoming concerts, including a Bay Area show with Stevie Nicks, due to ongoing health difficulties. Media personality Howard Stern revealed that he had dinner with the musician a few weeks ago during an episode of SiriusXM's 'The Howard Stern Show' and shared an important update from the 'Piano Man' himself. 'He said to me — so I'm not saying anything crazy — 'Yeah, you can tell people: I'm not dying,'' Stern said in the episode, which aired on Tuesday, June 3. 'He wants people to know that. He's got to deal with some medical stuff. But he was delightful. We had a great time with the wives.' Joel has been married to Alexis Roderick since 2015. The Grammy winner, 76, shared with fans last month that he has been living with normal pressure hydrocephalus, a brain disorder caused by excess cerebrospinal fluid. Joel's team said in a statement that he had been faced with 'hearing, vision and balance' issues due to the disorder, and that live performances had been worsening the condition. Following his doctor's orders, Joel's team said the musician is undergoing physical therapy and has been advised to hold off performing as he recovers. He subsequently canceled all of his scheduled shows, a total of 17, including his Santa Clara concert with Nicks on Oct. 4, which was to be part of their co-headlining One Night One Stage tour. Now, neither musician is set to perform in the South Bay in the fall. The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer's last live performance was in Connecticut on Feb. 22, where he fell on his back mid-performance after throwing his microphone stand to a crew member. He got up and finished the set but announced a month later that he'd be taking a four-month break from touring due to an undisclosed medical condition for which he had just undergone surgery. Following his announcement last month, Joel's ex-wife Christie Brinkley spoke out in support of him. 'The whole Brinkley gang is sending you lots of love and good wishes for a full and speedy recovery,' she wrote on Instagram on May 24. '(Y)ou turn an arena of strangers into a living room full of friends as we all sway in unison. … (P)lease take good care of yourself, we all want you back in that white hot spotlight. You're OUR piano man.'

I went to a festival alone and realised going with friends is foolish
It was a summer evening in the Lake District and I was at Kendal Calling Festival, listening to a jam session in a music tent, when the battered old piano became free. As a lifelong keyboard player, I asked if I could have a go, then promptly took my place. Soon after, the crowd and I were belting out Robbie Williams and Billy Joel over the embers of a small fire pit, and I had a sudden realisation. This was the best time I'd ever had at a festival. True, I didn't have anyone I actually knew to share the moment with, because I was at this festival on my own, but it didn't matter. I was enjoying myself. So much so, in fact, that I would thoroughly recommend going solo and will be doing only this from now on. As a musical comedian, I have attended my fair share of festivals, sometimes working, sometimes in the audience, and nearly always with friends. On this occasion in 2023, however, I had been invited to perform at Kendal Calling. I was given an artist's pass for the weekend, and a plus one. All the friends I asked were busy, or already had weekend plans with their partners that didn't involve getting muddy in a field. And as I'd broken up with my girlfriend at the start of the year, options were limited. I didn't want to invite a casual acquaintance to sleep in a tent with me for three days – so, in the end, I set off to the Lake District on my own. As an experienced performer, I didn't need anyone to support me at the gig. But I did worry about the stigma of being alone at a festival. Comedians don't tend to have a big entourage, but it's rare for someone to be entirely on their own. Lugging my backpack and keyboard to the campsite entrance, those doubts became amplified: Was this a mistake? Were people going to stare? Would security laugh at this sad loner, this human personification of a microwave dinner for one? But it was only as I got to the main area that it finally hit me – no one cared that I was there by myself. Festivals are chaotic and everyone is doing something bizarre. Who's going to judge someone's social status if they've just had a dance-off in the rave tent with a stranger dressed as Deadpool? I was also quickly reminded of how friendly festival-goers are. One moment I'd be chatting to the person next to me about a folk singer, the next I was in the cinema tent discussing which food stall to go to next. And not once did anyone say anything about me being on my own. Sometimes people would split off, or I'd lose them, or I'd realise I was inadvertently third-wheeling a couple's weekend away and slip off myself. But instead of feeling left out, I loved the freedom of dipping in and out of conversations. Plus, I'm a naturally introverted person, so I was relieved to find once my social battery was drained I had no obligation to make conversation – I could make my excuses and move on. The other benefit to going solo was that I actually saw everything I wanted to see. With a group there's usually a lot more discussion about options and you'd have to make concessions about acts and activities. This time, on my own, I got to see them all. I had no arguments. I didn't leave my favourite acts early because someone was hungry. And I was safe from humiliation, as no one I knew saw me dancing to an oom-pah band. I had plenty of room in my tent and, near the end of the weekend, as I sat in the artists' area listening to Delights' 1989 on a loop, I even had the space to relax. Festivals should be an escape, and sitting on a tatty sofa in a field with the sunny Lake District in front of me, I truly felt at ease. It was like meditation, except with more artisan pizza stalls. You don't feel lonely when you're surrounded by friendly people who want you to feel as happy as they do. And somehow, on your own, you feel part of something bigger and the experience is more memorable. More Trending That's what playing that battered old piano taught me. When you're on your own, the unexpected can happen, allowing you to do what you really enjoy. So I'll be going to plenty more festivals alone, feeling more comfortable doing my own thing and starting up conversations with strangers than I ever had before. It'll mean time for reflection, and actually enjoying the festival without any group management. Is that selfish? Maybe. Will I enjoy it? Definitely. Is Deadpool man still dancing? We'll never know.
