Stevie Nicks had a special treat for fans at her concert in London’s Hyde Park on Friday night, as she brought out Harry Styles for a memorable encore.
After performing “Rhiannon,” Nicks introduced Styles, who joined her on stage to sing “Landslide.” This heartfelt rendition was dedicated to Christine McVie, Nicks’ late Fleetwood Mac bandmate, who would have been celebrating her 81st birthday.
Reflecting on the dedication, Nicks shared:
“At the end of the show, since the end of last year and since Christine passed away, I would say something about her, and I asked Harry to do this with me and it’s a lot to ask someone to sing a heavy song about a best friend that died so suddenly and so sadly. What I want to say to you is that Christine was Harry’s girl, she was my girl, she was your girl, and she loved all of you, and today would’ve been her birthday, so, it’s taken me all this time to try to deal with this situation.”
The emotional tribute was followed by Styles staying on stage for the final song of the evening, “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around,” originally recorded by Nicks and Tom Petty.
During the concert, Nicks also reminisced about her mother’s advice:
“One thing my mom used to say to me when I was little, when I was hurt, was ‘Stevie when you’re hurt, you always run to the stage.’ And that’s what I have been doing ever since Chris passed away, I’ve been running to the stage. And the only people who have helped me to get over all of this, has been all of you.”
Mick Fleetwood’s Journey
Nicks’ bandmate Mick Fleetwood has also publicly expressed his grief over McVie’s passing. Speaking to Mojo earlier this month, he revealed:
“It’s been a strange time for me. Losing sweet Christine was catastrophic. And then, in my world, sort of losing the band too. And I split with my partner as well. I just found myself sort of licking my wounds.”
