Stevie Nicks appeared on the American television program Saturday Night Live (SNL) — for the first time since 1983 — where she performed her new single “The Lighthouse” and the classic “Edge of Seventeen”.
Fleetwood Mac vocalist revealed that the songwriting process for "The Lighthouse," released on September 27th, took place months after the Roe v. Wade ruling was overturned in June 2022, which gave American states the power to regulate or prohibit abortion again.
“I’ve been working on it ever since. I always told myself, ‘This might be the most important thing I’ll ever do. To stand up for the women of America and their daughters and granddaughters and the men who love them. This is an anthem,’” Nicks declared.

In addition to the newly released single, Steve also performed the nostalgic "Edge of Seventeen," a milestone in her solo career and part of the legendary album "Bella Donna" (1981).

Fleetwood Mac's uncertain future
In a recent interview, Stevie Nicks stated that without Christine McVie — who passed away in 2022 — she wouldn't consider a band reunion: "Without her, it simply wouldn't work."
However, even with the uncertain future, Nicks' brief return to the television spotlight and Fleetwood Mac's sudden digital activity have led fans to speculate about the possibility of the group's return soon.
Speculation gained momentum a few days ago after private, verified profiles using the band's name were created on social media.
