The duo also performed “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” in London’s Hyde Park
Stevie Nicks brought along longtime friend Harry Styles to join her for hits like “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” and “Landslide” at her concert in London’s Hyde Park on Friday night, with Nicks taking time to remember Christine McVie on what would have been her 81st birthday. McVie died in November 2022 after suffering a stroke.
The performance will be Styles’ first live appearance since ending his Love On Tour last year.
“Christine was Harry’s girl, she was my girl, she was your girl,” Nicks told the crowd in London on Friday. “She loved all of us, today was her birthday. It’s taken me all this time to try to come to terms with this situation. One thing my mother used to say to me when I was little was, if I was in pain, she’d say, ‘Stevie, if you’re in pain, always run to the stage.’ That’s what I’ve been doing since Chris passed, running to the stage. The only people who’ve been able to help me get through this are all of you.”
This isn’t the first time the two have performed these songs live together; Nicks performed “Landslide” with Styles at the Forum in Los Angeles in late 2019, and they performed “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction ceremony that same year when Styles inducted Nicks into the Hall.
“With Stevie, you’re not celebrating music from long ago through the mists of time,” Styles said in his induction speech that night. “She was on stage headlining a place, doing her best work, just three nights ago. She’s forever current. She’s forever Stevie.”
