While it\u2019s not known whether Fleetwood Mac will be recording or touring again, the band\u2019s two female members have plans of their own in 2022.<\/h3>\n

While Stevie Nicks isn\u2019t touring, per se, she has been adding live performance dates to her calendar one by one. As of April 19, the songstress has ten concerts planned this year, many of which are taking place at festivals. They span from May 7, where she\u2019ll be the headliner on the final Saturday of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, through Sept. 30. Though McVie hasn\u2019t announced any concerts, she\u00a0is\u00a0<\/em>releasing a new solo collection, Songbird<\/em>. The album is produced by Glyn Johns and emphasizes songs from her solo career. It arrives June 24 via Rhino. It first became available for pre-order on Apr. 19.<\/p>\n

Fleetwood Mac last toured in 2019, with Mike Campbell and Neil Finn joining Nicks, McVie, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. News of Nicks<\/strong><\/a>\u2018 2022 appearances began trickling out in January, when the Bonnaroo festival announced its lineup.<\/p>\n

McVie<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s last studio effort was 2017\u2019s collaboration with Lindsey Buckingham. The title track of the 2022 release originally appeared on Mac\u2019s 1977 Rumours<\/em> album. Other songs are culled from various aspects of her career, including her solo work. McVie says the songs, with a string orchestra, \u201csound completely different.\u201d<\/p>\n

The album includes a selection of songs from two of her solo albums \u2013 1984\u2019s Christine McVie<\/em> and 2004\u2019s In the Meantime<\/em> \u2013 plus two previously unreleased studio recordings.<\/p>\n

The first release, \u201cSlow Down,\u201d was originally written for the 1985 film American Flyers<\/em>. Of the song, McVie says, \u201cI was asked to write a song for a film about a cycling competition. So, I thought we\u2019d give it a go. So that\u2019s why the lyrics are sort of muddled up with a little bit of a love song, a little bit of cycling. And it turned out really well, but they didn\u2019t end up using it. We thought it was a pity to waste it, so it\u2019s on here.\u201d<\/p>\n
