But she had to essentially put 24 Karat Gold away and not listen to it for over a year as she was about to head out on the road with Fleetwood Mac: Nicks recorded the 24 Karat Gold album just two months - and it was her final album owed to her record label, Warner Bros. Here are some excerpts from our conversation with Nicks: But I never say never… that really is in God’s hands.” “So you start to weigh your… ‘Why would you do this, why would you do that?’ And I honestly don’t know. … It’s like, do you want to take a chance of going in and setting up in a room for like a year and having a bunch of arguing people? And then not wanting to go on tour because you just spent a year arguing? Or do you just go on tour because you know that you have fun up there and you love doing shows? And Christine’s only been back for a year and a half.

“Is it possible that Fleetwood Mac might do another record? I can never tell you yes or no, because I don’t know. So we can do records for the reason that we actually did them in the very beginning - just ’cause it’s fun. We don’t really have to work if we don’t want to. So then you think, ‘Well, why do you do records?’ Well, the reason you do records is because it’s like we’re like kids again, and we can do anything we want. Right now, because of the fact that we know that people don’t buy records… it’s like, hard to sell records.
“I learned a long time ago to never say never. With McVie back in the Fleetwood fold, fans are also holding out hope for a new album from the group. And I certainly didn’t ever, after 16 years, think that Christine McVie was going to call up and say, ‘How would you feel if I came back to the band?’ You know, it’s like, are you serious? Is this a joke?” “It’s like, I didn’t - in my wildest dreams - ever know that I was going to do the 24 Karat Gold record. “You know what, I never know what’s going to happen,” Nicks says. Now that the tour has concluded, might there be a new studio album from the famous quintet? The global run saw the classic Rumours-era lineup of the band - with a returning Christine McVie - play 120 shows on three continents. Nicks, of course, has a second career with the band Fleetwood Mac, which completed its triumphant On With the Show Tour in November 2015. So whenever I play ‘Stand Back’ from this day forward, Prince will be standing next to me. So that’s just one of those things in your life where you so say, ‘I really missed out.’ Because he should have. “Had I ever in a million years thought that we would lose him,” Nicks says, “I would have made sure that that would have happened. The track was “written to” Prince’s “Little Red Corvette,” and she’s “brokenhearted” that she was never able to have him share the stage with her on the song. It’s likely that familiar favorites like “Edge of Seventeen” and “Stand Back” will both turn up in the setlist, and for Nicks, “Stand Back” has a new emotional weight. Nicks also gives a hint to fans: “You know what, you might want to come to two shows, because you never know: There might be an alternative list.” Nicks says the setlist for the tour is still being shaped (it’s “about at 30 songs right now”) but will feature songs from 24 Karat Gold and possibly title cuts from some of her older albums, like “Bella Donna,” “Wild Heart” and “Trouble in Shangri-La.” She wants the show to “have its little explosions of fun” from the various parts of her career.
