Two of the most popular artists from the 1970s and 1980s, solo artist Rod Stewart and Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks, have decided to share top billing and go on tour together, according to Nicks’ website.
For now, only 13 dates have been announced for the Heart & Soul Tour, which is scheduled to begin March 20 in Florida.
Although the U.S. has the majority of dates, the duo will sing twice in Canada, on April 1 at the Bell Centre in Montreal and the next day, April 2 at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto. Stewart and Nicks will play hits from their catalogs, as well as new material.
"We haven’t begun rehearsals but I can already tell you this, with Stevie on board, our audiences are in store for an evening of pure rock ‘n’ roll music," said Stewart in a statement. "I’m already thinking about which of my old favourites to bring back and vocally, I think we’ve both begun thinking about which songs might be great fun and well-suited for a duet or two.”
Nicks is touring in support of her forthcoming album, In Your Dreams, due May 3. Stewart is coming off of a series of Las Vegas concerts and a European tour. In 2010, he released Fly Me to the Moon…The Great American Songbook, Volume V.
