Stevie Nicks, headlined the Great Oak Stage night at a sold out American Express presents BST Hyde Park on Friday (12 July).

During her career-spanning set which included the likes of Fleetwood Mac’s iconic “Dreams”, “Gold Dust Woman” and “Edge of Seventeen”, as well as “If Anyone Falls”, “Gypsy”, “For What It’s Worth”, “Free Falling”, “Wild Heart” and “Bella Donna”.

To close out her set, she performed “Landslide” in dedication to former Fleetwood Mac bandmate, the late Christine McVie, whose birthday it would have been. Old photographs of the pair appeared on the screens throughout, as she was joined by Harry Styles.

“I asked Harry to do this, and it’s always heavy to ask someone to come and sing this song with you, when you’re singing about your best friend that died so suddenly and so sadly. What I want you to know is that Christine was Harry’s girl and she was my girl, she was your girl. And she loved all of this. And today was her birthday, so, it’s taken me all this time to try to deal with this situation," Nicks said after the performance.

“One thing my mum used to say to me when I was little, when I was hurt, was ‘Stevie when you’re hurt, you always run to the stage’. And that’s what I have been doing ever since Chris passed away, I’ve been running to the stage. And the only people who have helped me to get over all of this, has been all of you.”

Brandi Carlile, Anna Calvi, Nina Nesbitt, Baby Queen, and more also performed on the day.
