"We get here days early because we want to be here for a few days," she said. "I finally just looked at my assistant — it was like two in the morning — and I said, ‘I think we need to go to emergency’. She looked at me and I said, ‘I’m not kidding! I think we need to go to the hospital.’"
"And so our butler — this wonderful man — throws us in his BMW Sedan, which is so great, and off we sped through the night to a hospital," Nicks went on to say, per the source.
She was in the hospital for two days before she returned to where she was staying and decided to postpone two of her shows.
"I’ve been fighting this for this whole thing," she told her fans. "This whole tour I’ve been fighting what started here. And I would be damned if I wasn’t coming back here," the 76-year-old singer said.
As of now, Nicks has two more scheduled shows for 2024. One at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Sept. 24 and another at Hersheypark Stadium in Hershey, Pennsylvania, on Sept. 28.
