From Relix:
We are extremely excited about our latest cover story that centers on a conversation between these two legends. While decades separate these artists, a shared passion and drive to make music—with their steady bands, solo or with newfound friends—unites them. Over the course of more than 5,000 words, the candid conversation explores the triumphs and challenges that each has faced while illuminating the rapidly changing landscape faced by newer artists.

  1. Stevie wasn't just airbrushed on this cover; she was blow torched!

    1. Post a picture of you. Let us retain the right to judge your appearance. Does that not sound fair? Let us judge your appearance :-)

  3. @poster 2: I personally don't think this photo was touched up very much at all. Of course it's been airbrushed to some degree, but you can still see a few wrinkles/creases. She looks great even without touching up photos

  4. The only thing I can tell with the airbrushing is obviously her hands and eyes but that's about it. Look how Adele was airbrushed on Vogue last year!

  5. @ poster 2: everyone is airbrushed to some degree on a magazine cover. I wouldn't say she's as airbrushed as some, however. She still looks natural here.

  7. The term "airbrushed" died over 20 years ago. I think it's interesting that no one mentioned how much Dave's face has been Photoshopped...cuz it has. Anyone who works with/in media will tell you that it doesn't matter if the subject is 6 years old or 65, a photo that is used in a mainstream publication (particularly a cover shot) has been manipulated in Photoshop. But if you're looking to attack Stevie for every little thing...I guess "airbrushing" might as well be one of them. :-)

  8. Sometimes fans forget she's a celebrity since they feel such a connection to her. She's actually a Legend - of course she's going to have Photoshop and perfect lighting. She's a big deal!

  9. Love the cover photo of Stevie and Dave, it has a lot of heart. It's absolutely beautiful. Great title for the story, can't wait to pick up a copy!

  10. Stevie & Dave look beautiful & make beautiful music together. There is real chemistry going on here. Dave could be Stevie's Gen X Tom Petty. I really hope they do a few more songs together. YCFT is incredible.

  11. Very nice cover, looks natural. I just wish all this attention came with a better product. If Stevie had written a good song and had all this promotion, it would have been fantastic for her reputation and career.

    1. Stevie is a legend for sure. I'm as diehard a fan as anyone ever was but, she will turn 65 this may so, this photo is definitely touched up....I suppose you think her hair at this stage is really blond? This is not the girl that used to twirl around in a cokedout haze. This is a sober 65 year old "girl". I love Stevie, she'll always be beautiful to me,but......time marches forward......her real beauty comes from her music, which remains ageless. I don't know if I'm
      going to this re-union, in fact, without Christine, it can't ever be the same.
      Don't we miss the first lady of Fleetwood Mac? The blowtorch comment was funny....must we be so serious to take offense? Oh well, I'll stop.
      The Mac is coming!!! It's time to Rock!
