\u2018I don\u2019t have much time, I am 72 years old\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Stevie Nicks has shared fears that she would never be able to sing again if she contracted coronavirus.<\/h3>\n

Seventy-two-year-old Nicks, who is best known as the frontwoman of Fleetwood Mac, shared an emotional Facebook post<\/a> on Tuesday (11 August) warning her fans about the continuing severity of the virus.<\/p>\n

Stressing the importance of wearing social distancing, Nicks said that wearing a mask was not a political statement, but protection from a \u201csilent killer hiding in the shadows\u201d.<\/p>\n

Listing the symptoms of Covid-19, she wrote: \u201cIf I get it, I will probably never sing again. Put me on a ventilator and I will be hoarse for the rest of my life. I don\u2019t have much time, I am 72 years old.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis virus can kill you. It can kill me. Kill my chances of pulling on those boots and hitting the road. Kill the chances that any of us in the music community will ever get back to the stage, because we would never put you in danger, never take you and your life for granted.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Nicks, who last released music in 2014, revealed in March that she had been inspired to start writing songs again in lockdown thanks to Harry Styles.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know you are doing everything you can to help the situation we are all in,\u201d she tweeted.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am getting all my paintings and drawings out, listening to music (mostly Harry Styles\u2019Fine Line<\/em>) and being inspired by him to write some new songs and poetry. Way to go H \u2013 it is your Rumours<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n
