Stevie Nicks 'devastated' to cancel all her 2021 concert dates due to Covid: 'We will look towards a brighter 2022'

Two-time Grammy winner Stevie Nicks announced Tuesday morning that she's cancelling all of her 2021 concert dates due to the fast-spreading coronavirus delta variant cases.

'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 rock queen - who boasts 6.7M social media followers - tweeted.

'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.
