Fleetwood Mac have dropped out of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival just days after being announced as a replacement for The Rolling Stones. “Due to the illness of Stevie Nicks, Fleetwood Mac has just announced the postponement of four upcoming North American tour dates and their performance at Jazz Fest on May 2. Stay tuned for updates about May 2 talent and tickets,” the festival organizers tweeted. Earlier, the Rolling Stones were set to headline on May 2 at the 50th annual Jazz Fest, but the legendary band had to cancel the show due to frontman Mick Jagger’s medical issues. The festival announced last week that Fleetwood Mac would replace the Rolling Stones at this year’s festival. A Fleetwood Mac spokesperson told Billboard, “As an update to previous Fleetwood Mac posts regarding a band member illness, Stevie Nicks has the flu.” “While she is feeling better already, management has consulted with her doctors and have decided to reschedule the remaining four shows of their North American tour to allow for her full recovery,” the spokesperson added. The spokesperson said Fleetwood Mac plans to postpone shows in Boston, Philadelphia, Toronto, Winnipeg, Edmonton and Calgary until October/November 2019. Copyright(c) 2019 RTTNews.com.
