Lyrical visionary, enduring style icon and one indispensable fifth of post-Peter
Green megaband Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks is one of the most recognisable figu
res in rock 'n' roll history - very much Fleetwood Mac's 'Queen Bee', as Mick Fl
eetwood himself describes her. While she once made headlines with her hedonistic
lifestyle, part of Nicks' irresistible appeal is her youthful vulnerability and
mystical aura, making her an artist with whom fans have an unbreakable emotiona
l connection. Crowned 'The Reigning Queen Of Rock And Roll' by Rolling Stone, an
d with gold and quadruple platinum solo albums under her beaded belt, Stevie Nic
ks has enjoyed the ultimate in rock 'n' roll success in her life as a recording
artist - but this charmed life has come as a result of hard graft, self-belief a
nd a devotion to creativity above all; hers has been a journey of intense highs
and lows.
This book, a celebration of the Stevie Nicks phenomenon, takes us o
n her journey from peripatetic mid-West childhood to her explosion onto the musi
c scene as chiffon-swathed rock goddess, right up to present day. Including excl
usive interviews with some of Stevie's associates and collaborators from over th
e years, author Zoe Howe explores the mystique while retaining the magic of this
modern-day musical sorceress and wise woman of rock.
