Stevie Nicks has always had a thing for the boys in the band, said Simon Price in the London Independent. The legendary Fleetwood Mac singer, 63, had a brief fling with drummer Mick Fleetwood that ended when he left her for her best friend. Yet it’s her 11-year, tumultuous relationship with guitarist Lindsey Buckingham, whom she first met when she was 16, that continues to haunt her.
They broke up in 1976, and Buckingham married and had kids, but Nicks maintains that their connection never really ended. “No matter how many children or grandchildren you have, Lindsey, I’m always gonna be there,” she says, as if addressing him directly. “Lindsey has these three marvelous children. I couldn’t give him that. But I know a lot of Lindsey’s songs are about me, because a lot of my songs are about him. I call us ‘our Miserable Muses.’ It makes for great art.”
