Fleetwood Mac had to cut a Nebraska concert about an hour short Saturday night after drummer Mick Fleetwood became ill.

Stevie Nicks told the crowd of roughly 14,000 at Lincoln’s Pinnacle Bank Arena that Fleetwood was throwing up backstage before the end of the 90-minute show.

A drum technician played “Go Your Own Way” for Fleetwood. Then Christine McVie played piano and sang “Songbird” with guitarist Lindsey Buckingham before the band ended the show.

Fleetwood Mac said Sunday in a statement online that it plans to perform its next scheduled show in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Tuesday.

Shots fired near Joe Biden’s home

Multiple gunshots were fired from a vehicle near the Delaware home of Vice President Joe Biden on Saturday night, the U.S. Secret Service said Sunday. The vice president and his wife were not at home at the time of the shooting, authorities said.

Authorities were searching outside the Biden residence and nearby homes to determine whether any rounds hit anything.

Secret Service spokesman Robert Hoback said the shots were fired at about 8:25 p.m. on a public road outside the home’s secure perimeter.

The Secret Service said about 30 minutes later, an individual in a vehicle tried to pass a county police officer at a checkpoint set up after the shooting.That person was arrested for resisting arrest and was scheduled to be questioned regarding the shooting incident. County police Sgt. Jacob Andrews said it appears the man was not involved in the shooting.
