Sheryl Crow says she’ll join with Fleetwood Mac

In what she described as an unofficial announcement, Sheryl Crow is making plans to sing with Fleetwood Mac, in a move that could to give new life to the classic rock band. Crow said she looked forward to working with friend Stevie Nicks.

“I think the person I learned the most hands-on from is Stevie Nicks because she allowed me not only to co-write with her but also to produce her, and she’s a true artist.”

Crow could give the band and Nicks a reason to work together again. According to Spinner.com, Nicks had said she wouldn’t continue with Fleetwood Mac without keyboardist Christine McVie, who retired from touring in 1998. McVie joined Fleetwood Mac in 1970 shortly after marrying the band’s bass guitarist, John McVie.

Crow told the AOL music Web site Spinner.com that there are definite plans for collaborating in the future. She didn’t give a date, but said it could happen next year.

Crow is currently touring after the release of her latest album, “Detours.”
