Earlier this week (October 01), Nicks kicked off her North American tour at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon. To celebrate the special occasion, Nicks played a career-spanning set, including a Fleetwood Mac no one could have expected.

Towards the end of her set, Stevie Nicks surprised audiences by performing ‘Angel’ for the first time since 1983. Not only was it the first time she’s performed the track in over four decades, it’s also the first time she’s played the track solo.

Watch fan-shot footage of the huge moment below.

Elsewhere during her set, she performed a slew of other Fleetwood Mac classics such as ‘Dreams’, ‘Gypsy’, ‘Gold Dust Woman’, ‘Rhiannon’ and ‘Landslide’. She also covered Tom Petty‘s ‘Free Fallin’ and performed her own solo hits ‘Outside The Rain’, ‘The Lighthouse’, ‘Stand Back’, ‘Edge Of Seventeen’ and more.

The tour was originally set to kick off in August, but was rescheduled after Nicks suffered a shoulder fracture. The August and September dates have since been rescheduled for late October, November and December – see the full list of dates here.

Prior to the tour kickoff, Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham reissued their iconic album ‘Buckingham Nicks’ in September. The ‘Buckingham Nicks’ reissue will seemingly be the closest fans will get to a Fleetwood Mac reunion, given Nicks has said that without the late Christine McVie, “there is no chance of putting Fleetwood Mac back together.”

However, Mick Fleetwood and Lindsey Buckingham have teamed up with Miley Cyrus on her new single ‘Secrets’. Elsewhere, Stevie Nicks has said she’s working on a new album, saying it was made up of “real stories, memories of mine, of fantastic men”.
