Fleetwood Mac with Mike Campbell and Neil Finn / Randee St Nicholas Mick Fleetwood added his own statement as well upon the announcement of the cancelation. He said, “We are having more fun than ever on this current tour, but as we all know, touring life comes with its challenges. The flu has sidelined Stevie for a couple of weeks but she is on the mend and we look forward to getting back out on the road. We so apologize to the fans, but we are working on rescheduling.” The impacted shows include Toronto, Winnipeg, Edmonton, and Calgary. These dates are going to be rescheduled to October or November, according to reports. Fleetwood Mac in 1977 / Wikimedia Commons Consequence of Sound reports that their upcoming appearance at the New Orleans Jazz Fest will unfortunately not be rescheduled and that this leaves the event planners scrambling for a last-minute replacement. The Jazz Fest had also booked The Rolling Stones, who recently canceled the remainder of their North America tour as well due to Mick Jagger undergoing heart surgery. Fleetwood Mac was supposed to replace The Rolling Stones in that event, but now they will need to find someone quickly to replace Fleetwood Mac as well!
