Pop icon Stevie Nicks wowed the crowd at her BST Hyde Park concert on Friday 12 July, with powerful vocals and a stunning stage presence. The former Fleetwood Mac singer was joined by Harry Styles, where they sang duets of Stop Dragging my Heart Around and Landslide.
Nicks paid tribute to her former Fleetwood Mac bandmate Christine McVie, who died last year aged 80, and told the crowd she had invited Styles to join her in celebrating what would have been McVie’s 81st birthday.
She said: “At the end of the show, since the end of last year and since Christine passed away, I was going to say something about her and I asked Harry to do this with me and it’s a lot to ask someone to sing a heavy song about a best friend who died so suddenly and so sadly What I want to tell you is that Christine was Harry’s girl, she was your girl and she loved you all, and today would have been her birthday.”
And it seems that the couple’s tribute to McVie deeply moved the audience. One fan wrote on X: “On Christine McVie’s birthday today, Stevie Nicks was joined by Harry Styles for Landslide in Hyde Park. Not a dry eye.”
Another wrote: “Let me tell you I wasn’t the only one wiping my eyes on the way out.” A third added: “Harry Styles and Stevie Nicks doing Landslide was, I tell you, a moment.”
Styles’ performance alongside Nicks was the final showstopper in an impressive set that featured her biggest hits, both as a solo artist and as a performer with Fleetwood Mac. Nicks sang the band’s staples Gypsy, Gold Dust Woman and Rhiannon, as well as a powerful performance of her biggest solo hit Edge of Seventeen.
BST Hyde Park continues throughout the weekend with Kylie Minogue gracing the festival on Saturday 13 July. It’s the festival’s final week of music and the Australian singer returns after nearly 10 years with a vault of hits.
