Stevie Nicks refuses surgery for painful injuries on Fleetwood Mac tour
She will continue touring with the band this summer
Stevie Nicks has vowed to battle on despite suffering from a number of injuries while on tour with Fleetwood Mac.
The 67-year-old is currently leading the band’s ‘On With The Show’ tour which starts this week in the UK. However the rock star has revealed that she has developed a bone problem and aggravated an old knee injury while performing.
“I have a bone spur in my toe from wearing my ballerina platform shoes on stage every night,” she said.
“I had a fall in 2013 where I really hurt my toe from wearing my ballerina platform shoes on stage every night.
“And I had a fall in 2013 where I really hurt my left knee.”
She continued: “Somehow a couple of weeks ago I reinjured it. I think I stepped down a little too hard on it on stage.”
However despite being injured, Stevie says she will refuse surgery and carry on her touring schedule.
“I have to find some new boots,” said the singer and songwriter, who’ll be headlining the Isle of Wight festival alongside the band next Sunday.
“Steel-toecapped boots that do not touch the toe. If anything is lying on that bone spur it’s going to make it bigger and I’m going to have surgery.
“And I am not having somebody cut my toe open. There’s just no way!”
