While drummer Mick Fleetwood tells the British paper The Mirror that he wants to make a new Fleetwood Mac album because they have a “s**tload of new songs,” Nicks won’t commit. “Honestly, I just don’t know about it. This tour has been so hard and so breathtakingly overwhelming,” she tells the paper. “I have to look great, I have to feel great, I have to sound great. And I cannot be thinking about future albums or poetry or songs right now.”
She adds, “Now, we have Europe to conquer. It’s really important that we are spectacular. And that’s all that I can worry about right now.”
Fleetwood Mac’s last album of original material was 2003’s Say You Will.
Meanwhile, the band continues to earn new, famous fans. While playing in London last month, Adele came to visit Stevie backstage, and pronounced the experience “the best night of my life.” And the Mirror reports that Harry Styles of the U.K. boy band One Direction gave Nicks a handmade birthday cake during that same time. What’s more, Mick Fleetwood says that he and Styles are pen pals, which really impresses his twin 13-year-old daughters.
Mick adds, “He’s come to three of our shows. He writes to me from weird places.”
Fleetwood Mac’s European tour leg runs through a July 10-11 engagement in Dublin, Ireland. The band then is scheduled to head to Australia in October.

Fleetwood Mac’s current tour — their first in 16 years with singer/keyboard player Christine McVie — is traveling the world and won’t wrap up until November. But frontwoman Stevie Nicks says she’s so preoccupied with making the trek a success that she just can’t cope with the idea of recording a new album with the band anytime soon.
