Stevie Nicks canceled appearances at five music festivals

citing coronavirus concerns, she said in a statement Tuesday.

Nicks had been scheduled to headline one day each of BottleRock Napa Valley in California and the Jazz Aspen Festival in Colorado in September. In October, she was to have played two days of the Austin City Limits Music Festival and one day of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.

“These are challenging times with challenging decisions that have to be made. I want everyone to be safe and healthy and the rising Covid cases should be of concern to all of us," the 73-year-old singer said in the statement. “While I’m vaccinated, at my age, I am still being extremely cautious and for that reason have decided to skip the 5 performances I had planned for 2021.”

Most of the festivals themselves are moving forward with replacement headliners. Country star Chris Stapleton will take Nicks' place at BottleRock.

It was on my way home from school and I remember their band name -- Fritz. Never saw them, though, either then or with FM. Damn. I did see Bob Welch a couple of times. And the first time I saw FM, it was with Jeremy Spencer at the Fillmore. He did his Elvis impersonation at 2 a.m.
