Next month, Stevie Nicks will head out on an extensive North American tour to promote her 2014 compilation album 24 Karat Gold: Songs From the Vault. In an interview with the New York Times, Nicks explained the differences between touring solo and touring with Fleetwood Mac. "In my band, there is no arguing. I am the boss.
