The Stunning Transformation Of Stevie Nicks
Daniel Cobb
While Stevie Nicks is one of the most famous rock stars in the world and has been quite open about all that this has entailed, including the many highs and the devastating lows. But once upon a time, Stevie was a little girl who moved around a lot. Author Stephen Davis, who penned the authorized Stevie Nicks biography "Gold Dust Woman," explained to Interview Magazine that Stevie had a surprisingly sheltered childhood, which was something her mother prioritized on purpose.
Davis explained to Interview Magazine, "Her mother, Barbara Nicks, kept Stevie at home. She signed Stevie up for a lot of class, like tap dancing, plays and drama, but when it was over, Stevie Nicks went home." He went on to add that Stevie's first real boyfriend was Fleetwood Mac guitarist and singer Lindsey Buckingham.
In the same book, Stevie admits that her family moved around quite a bit, which meant she was constantly making and leaving friends. Stevie also adds that when she would mention something about a house they'd lived in, such as her bedroom, her mother would simply reply, "There's always a better house" (per Showbiz Cheat Sheet).
