Rod Stewart & Stevie Nicks: First Show Together is Sunday... May Perform Stand Back Together!

Rod Stewart, Stevie Nicks kick off tour in Broward - Performing Arts

Rod Stewart clearly has a weakness for women: The British rocker, 66, has fathered eight children with five women.

So when three of his daughters — Kimberly, 31, Ruby, 23, and Renée, 18 — suggested Stevie Nicks as a touring mate for their father’s latest tour, Stewart listened. The pair will co-headline the “Heart and Soul Tour,” which opens Sunday at BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise.

“I wanted to do a tour with someone and … they all love her, and she’s an icon, and so that’s how it happened,” Stewart said in a joint telephone conversation with Nicks.

Nicks is in Los Angeles, flush from a visit to the Glee set where the cast sang her Fleetwood Mac classic Landslide. Stewart is in England working with old partner Jeff Beck on new tunes. The two rockers burn through the phone lines like old friends, though before this tour, Nicks says she and Stewart had only met twice before, once “at a fantastic New Years’ Eve party Rod had at his beautiful house” in the 1970s and another time at a rehearsal studio.

“I can’t remember anything in the ’70s,” Stewart says, laughing.

Contrary to popular belief, rock stars don’t hang out together.

“You don’t get to meet your peers. Everyone is always working or in a separate city. We don’t live in an enclave in L.A. where rock stars live, where we hang out and barbecue,” Nicks, 62, jokes.
