STEVIE NICKS Adds New Tour Date in TASMANIA

TASMANIAN baby boomers can relive their music glory days over the coming months as a wave of 1980s megastars rolls into Hobart for shows.

Among them will be Fleetwood Mac's lead singer, Stevie Nicks, whose solo show will include the internationally renowned pop and rock musician Dave Stewart, from the Eurythmics.

Nicks' international popularity is riding high again following performances by the reformed Fleetwood Mac and an episode of the TV singing show Glee dedicated to the band's best-known songs.

Stewart co-produced Nicks' new solo album, In Your Dreams, her seventh solo effort and first in more than a decade.

Both Stewart and Nicks also plan to perform their greatest hits at the Derwent Entertainment Centre on December 10.

Promoter Andrew McManus said Nicks had one of the most unique and recognisable voices in the history of popular music.

"She is one of the greatest songwriters of all time," he said.

It will be the first time Nicks has performed in Tasmania and the final performance of the In Your Dreams national tour.

Tickets go on sale tomorrow at 9am through Ticketmaster.

Get Tusked: The Inside Story of Fleetwood Mac's Most Anticipated Album
by Ken Caillat and Hernan Rojas

In this behind-the-scenes look at the making of Fleetwood Mac’s epic, platinum-selling double album, Tusk, producers and engineers Ken Caillat and Hernan Rojas tell their stories of spending a year with the band in their new million-dollar studio trying to follow up Rumours, the biggest rock album of the time.

Following their massive success, the band continued its infamous soap opera when its musical leader and guitarist, Lindsey Buckingham, threatened to quit if he didn’t get things his way, resulting in clashes not only with his band but especially Caillat, who had been essential to the band’s Grammy-winning sound.

Hernan Rojas’s story recounts a young man who leaves Chile after General Pinochet’s coup to seek his future in the music industry of Los Angeles, where he finds success at one of the hottest studios in town. When Fleetwood Mac arrives, Rojas falls in love with its star singer, Stevie Nicks, and the two of them become romantically involved.

Throughout the book, both Caillat and Rojas detail not only the trials and sacrifices they made to finish the album, but also triumphs of musical inspiration and technical innovation that have made Tusk the darling of music critics and indie rockers today.
