Rock’s legendary first lady Stevie Nicks shocked fans when she canceled a show in Scotland due to emergency surgery on her leg, RadarOnline.com can reveal
The 76 year old Fleetwood Mac Survivor returned to the stage a few days later, but rock’s infamous party princess admitted to the Scottish crowd that she had suffered a terrifying experience.
She confessed: “It was two in the morning, and I said, ‘I think we should go [the] emergency [room].”
She continued: “And so our butler – this amazing man – threw us into his BMW Sedan, which is so amazing, and we sped through the night to a hospital.”
The Landslide singer said she spent two days in the hospital and ultimately decided to cancel the show, saying, “I fought for this.” This entire tour I’ve been fighting against what started here. And I’d be d—– if I didn’t come back here.’
At the time, the venue released a statement about the canceled show, saying, “Due to a recent leg injury that required a minor surgical procedure that will require a few days of recovery time, Stevie Nicks’ scheduled performances have been postponed.”
Although Nicks hasn’t revealed what prompted the surgery, insiders say her history of partying could be to blame. The Rhiannon The singer has admitted that he was addicted to coke when Fleetwood Mac was at its peak in the 1970s and 1980s.
Nicks said: “We were all drug addicts, but there was a point where I was the worst drug addict.”
Her addiction was so bad that she burned a hole the size of a nickel in her nose and doctors told her she could have a brain hemorrhage.
Years later, she went to the Mayo Clinic and has stayed clean ever since.
But one doctor believes damage from drug use could have been the cause of her emergency surgery.
Longevity expert Dr. Gabe Mirkin, who has not treated Nicks, said: “Cocaine abuse is often associated with clotting, which can occur in the legs.”
Although a representative for the rock legend dismissed Mirkin’s diagnosis as “completely inaccurate,” Mirkin noted, “Narcotics cause clots that can block blood flow to any vital organ and ultimately be fatal. Her history makes her an excellent candidate for this.”
Today Nicks is back and fighting fit. She has two more shows she will play in 2024.
The first will take place on September 24 at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The second will take place on September 28 at Hersheypark Stadium in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
