“Due to a recent leg injury requiring a minor surgical procedure that will need a few days of recovery time, Stevie Nicks’ scheduled performances in Glasgow Saturday 6 July and Manchester Tuesday 9 July have been postponed. More information will be available at point of purchase, ticketholders are advised to hold on to their tickets as rescheduled dates will be announced soon.

Bon Jovi latest album Forever has failed to meet expectations, as it drops off all-genre Billboard 200 chart after just one week on the tally.

Forever made a strong debut at No. 5 on the Billboard 200, earning the the band’s 14th top 10 album. In its first tracking week, the record moved 50,000 equivalent units.

However, despite heavy promotions and the strong debut, the album tumbled below the No. 200 position.

Forever now stands as Bon Jovi’s first proper studio album to manage just one week on the Billboard 200. Unless the record returns to the chart, Forever will be the first Bon Jovi studio album to only last one week in the Top 200.

The band’s previous album, 2020’s pandemic-delayed 2020, only notched two weeks on the chart. It debuted at No. 19, then fell 126 spots the following week before departing from the chart.

The Eagles’ Don Henley has filed a lawsuit seeking the return of handwritten ’70s-era Eagles lyric sheets that were the subject of a recent criminal trial.

In his new suit, the Eagles frontman is seeking a declaratory judgment affirming his ownership over roughly 100 pages of his personal and handwritten lyric sheets.

Those sheets were the subject of an indictment against three men in July 2022, with a trial that began in late February but ceased weeks later after the prosecution dropped its case against the defendants upon discovering “damaging” fresh disclosures.

“Don Henley has filed suit today in a New York federal court for return of property that was stolen from him — his private handwritten notes and lyrics to the iconic songs from the Hotel California album,” Henley’s attorney, Daniel Petrocelli, said in a statement to Variety. “These 100 pages of personal lyric sheets belong to Mr. Henley and his family, and he has never authorized defendants or anyone else to peddle them for profit.”

The lyric sheets at the focus of the suit are currently in the possession of the New York County District Attorney, which was investigating how defendants Edward Kosinski and Craig Inciardi took hold of them.

The complaint goes into detail about how Henley discovered his manuscripts had gone missing after Kosinski put up four lyric sheets for auction in 2012. Kosinski claimed that he’d gotten the pages from Ed Sanders, who the Eagles hired in 1979 to pen a book about the group that never materialized.

Heart have postponed the remainder of the North American leg of their Royal Flush Tour after lead singer Ann Wilson revealed she has been diagnosed with cancer.

“I recently underwent an operation to remove something that, as it turns out, was cancerous,” Wilson said in a statement posted on Instagram. “The operation was successful & I’m feeling great but my doctors are now advising me to undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and & I’ve decided to do it.”

She added that her doctors are advising her to take the rest of the year away from the stage in order to fully recover.

“To the ticket buyers, I really do wish we could do these gigs. Please know that I absolutely plan to be back on stage in 2025. Thank you all for the support. This is merely a pause. I’ve much more to sing,” Wilson said.

Heart promised fans that their tickets will be valid for rescheduled dates in the future.

The band had earlier canceled European tour dates.
