Blood micrococons – in all your organs; neurological disorders in your brain a cough that tears your throat and helps it come back.”
“If I understand, I’ll never sing again, ” he continued. “Put a fan on me and I’ll be hoarse for the rest of my life, I don’t have much time … I’m 72 years old…”
“This virus can kill you. He can kill me. End my chances of putting on my boots and going out on the road. End the chances that one of us on the music network will never return to the stage, because we would never put you in danger,” Nicks said, before urging his fans to “never take your life or yourself for granted.”

“Never jeopardize the circle of older, more fragile relatives. You feel the same way. You assume mortal dangers because you think you’re immortal. You’re not. If you get this virus, your life will be replaced forever. You’ll steal your good looks. You’ll grow old fighting for your life. You’ll get older as you struggle to get back … if you survive.”
Nicks also called those who “don’t take the costume of an undeniable mask seriously” in his message.
“Masks and estrangement now have a political statement. It’s not politics. He’s a silent killer hiding in the shadows. He’s stalking you. It doesn’t matter who you are … It’s just looking for a victim,” he wrote. “And you don’t have much time…”
