(LOS ANGELES – January 13, 2011) ROD STEWART and STEVIE NICKS announced on The Ellen DeGeneres Show airing today, Thursday, January 13, (check local listings) that they have joined forces for one of the most anticipated musical events of the year, THE HEART & SOUL TOUR. Launching March 20, 2011 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the tour will unite two of music’s most legendary forces for a series of arena concerts throughout North America - with performances already confirmed in New York, Toronto, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit, Tampa, Montreal and more.

Said Rod Stewart: “We haven’t yet begun rehearsals but I can already tell you this, with Stevie on board our audiences are in store for an evening of pure rock & roll music. I’m already thinking about which of my old favourites to bring back and vocally, I think we’ve both begun thinking about which songs might be great fun and well-suited for a duet or two.” 

In a career spanning five decades, with an estimated 250 million album and single sales, Rod Stewart is a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and indisputably one of the most successful performers of all time. He finished 2010 at the top of both the touring and album charts - highlighted by his critically-heralded, sold-out first run of concerts at The Colosseum in Las Vegas, a “Boxscore,” chart-topping, 33-date European summer tour which included 4 sold-out dates at London’s O2 Arena. Throughout his prolific career, he’s garnered16-Grammy nominations, including his current for “Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album," and sales of more than one million albums for his 2010 album FLY ME TO THE MOON…THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK, VOLUME V.

Stevie Nicks, Rock and Roll's reigning queen, will be releasing her highly anticipated new CD “IN YOUR DREAMS” on May 3, 2011. The new album, her first album of new material in a decade, was co-produced by former Eurythmic Dave Stewart and Glen Ballard. The new album is now available for fans to pre order at stevienicks.warnerreprise.com. Fans who pre-order the CD will receive an instant download of the record's first single, the Nicks’ penned "Secret Love”. The official release date of the single is February 3rd.

Airing today... Check your local listings...

STEVIE GETS SOCIAL... SORT OF

Stevie Nicks (or her label shall I say) Enters The Social Scene

  Facebook | Twitter | Youtube  

All sites have been made official pages dedicated to Stevie as of this evening... Sarah (Community Manager at Warner Bros Records.) has been tweeting the links to the pages... Check them out!

Knowing it's a label rep doing the socializing makes it a little more plausible since we all know that Stevie doesn't Facebook or Myspace and she DOES NOT TWEET!  All sites/pages are brand spanking new except for the Facebook page - so don't expect too much right now. The Facebook page is sort of new... It's been there awhile just under a different link. Looks like Warners personalized the URL with Stevie's name which changes the link in which to get to the page. All the Facebook people that liked the page previously seem to be intact... So in a way it is new... Hopefully Warners engages fans and really takes this opportunity to involve people... I think they'd enjoy it!  And everyone is super excited and can't wait for May 3rd and for what's to come this year for Stevie!

Here's a couple of shots of Stevie being led by Karen her Assistant and another guy - captures from the ustream live site from backstage.... Karen and another guy bringing Stevie off the stage back to her dressing room presumably.... These three were moving at a pretty brisk clip.. Wonder what the hurry was...  Maybe just to get out of the way - or maybe Rod was performing after her.  On her official Twitter stream it was posted this evening that she performed her new single... So check out the show tomorrow to hear it.

NEW STEVIE NICKS CD TITLED "In Your Dreams"

According to Amazon...

The New Release From Stevie Nicks is titled

 "In Your Dreams" 

and will hit the street May 3, 2011

 via Reprise.  

Great title by the way!!  There's also a song on the album called the same.

Finally! A date! A Title! Now we just need the album cover photo!  AND to find out what the "special announcement" tomorrow on Ellen will be! Could it be that Rod and Stevie confirm their much speculated about tour together this Spring?

Dave Stewart also tweeted today that we'll see on Ellen the first cover shot of the single he took of Stevie tomorrow...

Err... "may not be the single cover image I shot on Ellen today just found out"

It's all in the Adjectives....

David Wild gets his paws on the new Stevie Nicks album for a listen... First initial feelings on the new album?.... He thinks it's her best solo album ever! and describes the album as:

"Deeply Romantic, Cinematic,  Personal, 

Poetic and Dreamy,"

David visited Stevie and Dave Stewart in the studio during recording back in July and wrote a column on her new album that appeared in the September 16, 2010 issue of Rollingstone.

There's been a lot of excitement building around the release of this album... It's been 10 long years since Stevie's last solo studio album...Too long frankly.  Thanks to both Dave Stewart and David Wild for fueling this excitement... and Stevie of course.
