Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac,on Tuesday scrapped her entire tour, including her headlining appearance at BottleRock Napa Valley.

The decision came a day after the organizers of New Orleans Jazz Fest (which she was also headlining) canceled the event in light of the spread of the Delta variant of the 2019 coronavirus. That festival had been scheduled for Oct. 8 to 17. BottleRock is still on for Sept. 3 to 5. Everyone in attendance must be either fully vaccinated or provide a recent negative test result each day.

BottleRock producers announced that country superstar Chris Stapleton will fill in for Nicks on the main stage on Friday, Sept. 3.

These are challenging times with challenging decisions that have to be made,” she wrote on social media. “Because singing and performing have been my whole life, my primary goal is to keep healthy so I can continue sining for the next decade or longer.”

Nicks had just a handful of shows planned for the remainder of 2021, and she implied that she wants to tour again next year.
