Stevie Nicks has revealed that she is working on her first new album in 14 years, featuring memories of “fantastic men”.

Nicks made the announcement while speaking at the Pollstar Awards last week after being inducted into the Pollstar Hall of Fame.

“I’m actually making a record right now. I call it the ghost record,” the septuagenarian singer-songwriter told the crowd.

“It just really kinda happened in the last couple of weeks because of, you know, the fires,” she said, apparently referring to the devastating Los Angeles wildfires that wreaked havoc in January-February. “I was sitting in a hotel for 92 days, and at some point during that last part of the 92 days, I said, ‘You know what? I feel like I’m on the road, but there’s no shows.'”

“I’m just sitting here by myself because everybody else is at the house, doing all the remediation and everything, and it’s just me, sitting here. And I thought, ‘You need to go back to work.’ And I did,” she added.

Nicks said she has written seven songs for the upcoming album, which, according to her, is “autobiographical, real stories where I’m not pulling any punches for probably the first time in my life.”

“They are not airy-fairy songs that you are wondering who they’re about but you don’t really get it,” she said. “They’re real stories of memories of mine, of fantastic men!”

Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Carlos Santana was hospitalized on Tuesday after suffering from dehydration.

Santana was supposed to perform a concert at the Majestic Theatre in San Antonio Tuesday night, but he was taken to the hospital where doctors diagnosed that the musician was dehydrated.

Santana’s manager Michael Vrionis said, “It is with profound disappointment that I have to inform you all that tonight’s show in San Antonio has been postponed. Mr. Santana was at the venue (Majestic Theatre) preparing for tonight’s show when he experienced an event that was determined to be dehydration. Out of an abundance of caution and the health of Mr. Santana, the decision to postpone the show was the most prudent course of action.”

Vrionis, who is also the president of Universal Tone Management, said Santana is doing well and is looking forward to coming back to San Antonio soon as well as continuing his U.S. Tour.

“Thank you all very much for your understanding,” he added. “The show will be rescheduled soon.”

Santana had many shows scheduled throughout this week as part of the Oneness Tour 2025, but the organizers have not confirmed if they will take place as planned.

Santana’s representatives have advised ticket holders to keep their tickets and keep an eye on more information on the rescheduled date as soon as possible.

A few days after announcing that it had parted ways with Zak Starkey, The Who says the drummer has been brought back after dealing with “communication Issues.”

Clarifying that Zak is not being asked to step down from The Who, guitarist Pete Townshend said, “There have been some communication issues, personal and private on all sides, that needed to be dealt with, and these have been aired happily.”

“Roger [Daltrey] and I would like Zak to tighten up his latest evolved drumming style to accommodate our non-orchestral line up and he has readily agreed. I take responsibility for some of the confusion,” he said in a statement posted on the band’s website. “Our TCT shows at the Royal Albert Hall were a little tricky for me. I thought that four and a half weeks would be enough time to recover completely from having a complete knee replacement.”

Townsend said that Zak made a few mistakes and he has apologized.

“We are a family, this blew up very quickly and got too much oxygen. It’s over. We move forward now with optimism and fire in our bellies, he added.

The Who lead vocalist Roger Daltrey will perform forthcoming solo shows with his drummer Scott Devours, who was rumored to replace Starkey, the song Beatles legend Ringo Starr.
