Stevie Nicks cancels concert last minute due to ‘illness’ as fans angry ‘it’s so unfair’ and demand refunds

STEVIE Nicks had to cancel his concert in Hershey, Pennsylvania, at the last minute due to illness in his band.

The Fleetwood Mac singer, who is currently on tour, released a statement Saturday evening regarding the last-minute decision regarding this evening’s show.

“Unfortunately, due to illness in the band, tonight’s performance is postponed. Please hold on to your tickets,” Stevie, 76, told his followers in a message originally shared by the venue.

She also told fans that the show, scheduled for Hersheypark Stadium, would soon be postponed.

The show was part of his current self-titled tour across North America.

UNSATISFIED FANS

Since learning of the cancellation, some fans have requested refunds.

“I was waiting for four to open and wow, last second cancellation!!! Over an hour to get out of the parking lot!! Next time maybe not last second!!” a person was angry with X.

“This was so unfair. The right thing to do is get a statement from her and (100) refunds,” tweeted a second.

“I’m so heartbroken, it’s a dream of mine to finally see her in concert,” wrote a third.

“I think you need a replacement band member for Stevie and a doctor traveling with older artists – the whole weekend is planned around that for a lot of money and time,” suggested a fourth.

Other spectators were upset that they had not received an email or text message about the cancellation, pointing out that there had already been spectators outside the venue.

“Apparently they decided to reschedule the party until 9am. The venue dropped the ball. This really sucks,” one person tweeted.

“They shouldn’t have let people come, park and tailgate; they should have at least emailed or texted first. The parking lots were filled to capacity with tailgaters,” they added.

The official X account for Hershey Entertainment Venues responded, clarifying that they did not cancel the 9am show.

“We have, however, updated a previously shared post earlier this morning to reflect the show update, in case viewers did not see the most recent shared post,” the venue explained.

The user then noted that the update “should have been sent via email or text message because the place we purchased the tickets from has all our information to do so.”

STEVIE’S LEGACY

The rock legend is scheduled to perform his next concert Tuesday at the Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

His next show is Friday in Chicago, Illinois, before heading to Europe.

Stevie has been called “The Queen of Rock and Roll” for over four decades, becoming one of the most successful singer-songwriters of her generation.

She sold more than 150 albums worldwide between her time with Fleetwood Mac and her solo career, which she began in 1981.

Stevie joined Fleetwood Mac in 1974 after about seven years in business.

The group earned several Grammy nominations and scored a win for their 1977 album, Rumors.

Stevie was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Fleetwood Mac in 1998 and again in 2019 as a solo artist.
