Stevie Nicks Life

Stephanie Lynn Nicks (born May 26, 1948) is an American singer and songwriter.

Nicks is best known for her time as a songwriter and singer with Fleetwood Mac, as well as her chart-topping solo career.

She is known for her distinct voice, mystical stage persona, and poetic, symbolic lyrics.

Her work as both a member of Fleetwood Mac and as a solo artist has released over forty top-50 hits and sold over 140 million albums, making her one of the best-selling music acts of all time with Fleetwood Mac. Nicks and her then boyfriend, Lindsey Buckingham, joined Fleetwood Mac in 1975.

Rumours, Fleetwood Mac's second album after the incorporation of Nicks and Buckingham, was the year's best-selling studio album of all time, with sales over 40 million copies worldwide.

For 31 weeks, the album remained at number one on the American charts and climbed to the top of the top charts in various nations around the world.

In 1978, the album received the Grammy Award for Album of the Year.

It was one of the first and only Billboard Hot 100 top-ten hits with Nicks' "Dreams" being the band's first and only Billboard Hot 100 top-ten hits. Nicks began her solo career in 1981, when she was a member of Fleetwood Mac, releasing the studio album Bella Donna, which debuted on top of the Billboard 200 and has since risen to multiplatinum status.

With her most recent, 24 Karat Gold: Songs from the Vault, she has released eight solo studio albums, as well as her most recent, 24 Karat Gold: Songs from the Vault, which was released in October 2014. Rolling Stone named Nicks as one of the Top Songwriters of All Time.

She is the only woman to have been inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Fleetwood Mac in 1998 and as a solo artist in 2019.

As a solo artist, she has received eight Grammy Award nominations and two American Music Award nominations.

She has received numerous awards with Fleetwood Mac, including a Grammy Award and five Grammy Award nominations.

Personal life

Nicks was romantically linked to Lindsey Buckingham from 1966 to 1976, briefly to Mick Fleetwood in 1977, then to Eagles drummer/vocalist Don Henley in the late 1970s and briefly to Eagles songwriter J.D. Souther is a migrant. Nicks had an abortion after being pregnant by Henley in 1979.

Nicks' only marriage was to Kim Anderson, the widower of her best friend Robin Anderson. They married in 1983, shortly after Robin Anderson died of leukemia, and when the Bella Donna album debuted, it was on the top of the charts. "I was determined to take care of [Robin's] baby," I told Kim, "I don't know, I guess we should just get married." Nicks and Anderson separated after only three months: "And so we got married three months after she died, and it was a tragic, sad mistake." We didn't get married because we were in love, but we got married because we were mourning and it was the only way we could look like we were doing something." She reunited with her stepson when he was a child, sending him to college, and she has been in touch ever since.

She began working with Jimmy Iovine, who produced Bella Donna from 1980–1986, as well as Eagles and James Gang guitarist Joe Walsh from 1983–1986, who she referred to as one of her greatest loves in 2007, but they were unable to continue the friendship due to mutual drug use. In 1984, Nicks performed with Walsh and wrote "Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You." The death of Walsh's mother is in the news.

Reports concerning Lindsay Lohan's involvement in purchasing the rights to Nicks' life and directing a motion picture in which she wanted to appear were first published in early 2007. Nicks was asked about this rumors in March 2007 while promoting her album Crystal Visions. "That is completely insane and bizarre," she told Access Hollywood, "It's completely bizarre and bizarre." On my personal life, there is no film in the works. Since no one knows what really happened in my life before I tell them, no one knows what really happened in my life until I tell them. So, no one can make a film about my life. And if anyone else made a film about my life without my permission and without my knowledge, I would slam it so hard to the media that it would never do anything." "Over my dead body," Lohan told The New York Times in 2009. She needs to avoid using opioids and get a grip. And then there'll be a chat."

Nicks lived in Paradise Valley, Arizona, a suburb of Phoenix, until 2007, when she married Christopher Nicks, his brother, Lori Perry-Nicks, and their daughter, Jessica, their niece. In mid-2007, she revealed that her Paradise Valley home would be auctioned, stressing her plans to "downsize" and refocus more on her charity causes, and that, in the previous year, she had only "spent about two weeks there." The house was listed on the market for $3.8 million and later sold for $3 million.

On December 27, 2013, Nicks became an ordained minister with the Universal Life Church and officiated at the wedding of Deer Tick singer John McCauley and singer-songwriter Vanessa Carlton.

Nicks blasted the US response to COVID-19 in a journal in 2020, comparing it to American Horror Story in comparison. "Everyone gathers at the beaches, in the bars, block parties, Et cetera, etc." Let's get boozed and make out, and by the way, can I have the other half of your drink? We're headed for a disaster if people aren't wearing their masks; people are dying because people aren't wearing their masks.' ... No one is leading us. There is no such thing as a strategy.

Nicks has stated that she deliberately chose not to have children of her own due to her busy schedule and desire to pursue her art wherever it led: "My goal, perhaps not to be a mother and a wife," she said.

"I have a lot of kids," she says of her niece, godchildren, and extended family. Oricum, being the crazy auntie is more fun than being the mother.

Since being employed in Fleetwood Mac, Nicks has kept a journal almost every day. "I like to tell all my fairy goddaughters and my niece that when I'm gone they can read all these journals and enjoy my life, and they can smell the gardenia perfume on the pages." They can have it in their hands, as I was." "I wouldn't write a book unless I could honestly tell the truth, and assume that all of the characters in it are represented correctly," she has said. I would never write a book about the bad parts. I would mostly revel in the fantastic parts of which there were so many."

Stevie Nicks Career

Life and career

Stephanie "Stevie" Nicks was born at Good Samaritan Hospital in Phoenix, Arizona, to Jess and Barbara Nicks. Nicks is a descendent of German, English, Welsh, and Irish immigrants.

Aaron Jess "A.J." Nicks' grandfather, Aaron Jess, "A.J." Nicks Sr. taught Nicks to sing duets with him by the time she was four years old. Nicks' mother was proactive, keeping her at home "more than most people" and instilled in her daughter a love of fairy tales.

Stephanie could only say "tee-dee," which led to her nickname of "Stevie" as a child.

The family's frequent relocation as executive vice president of Greyhound included visits to Phoenix, Arizona; Albuquerque, Texas; Salt Lake City, Utah; and San Francisco. Nicks wrote "I've Loved and I've Lost," her first song on her 16th birthday with the Goya guitar, which she received for her 16th birthday. She spent her adolescence on record-playing regularly and lived in her "own little musical world" in New York.

When attending Arcadia High School in Arcadia, California, she formed the Changing Times, a folk rock band that concentrated on vocal harmony.

Lindsey Buckingham, Nicks' future musical and romantic companion, began attending Menlo-Atherton High School in Atherton, California, where she spent her senior year. She joined Buckingham in harmony as she saw him playing "California Dreamin" at Young Life club. "I thought he was a darling," she recalled. Buckingham was in Fritz, a psychedelic rock band, but two of the band's musicians were going to college, but two of its members were leaving for college. In mid-1967, Nicks was asked to replace the lead singer. Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin followed Fritz from 1968 to 1970. Both acts are said to have inspired her stage presence and performance.

Both Nicks and Buckingham attended San José State University, where Nicks majored in speech recognition and planned to become an English teacher. Nicks dropped out of college to pursue a musical career with Buckingham with her father's blessing.

Nicks and Buckingham continued to write as a pair in Daly City, California, on a one-inch, four-track Ampex tape machine, after Fritz was disbanded in 1972. Buckingham kept his coffee-roasting plant belonging to his father. They signed a contract with Polydor Records, and Buckingham Nicks, the eponymous Buckingham Nicks, was released in 1973. The album was not a commercial success, and Polydor dropped the two songs. Nicks started working multiple jobs as no money came from their album and Buckingham contracting mononucleosis shortly after. She waited tables and cleaned producer Keith Olsen's house, where Nicks and Buckingham lived for a brief period before deciding with Richard Dashut. She was soon using cocaine. Nicks told Chris Isaak in 2009, "We were told that it was recreational and that it was not risky."

Buckingham landed a guitar gig with the Everly Brothers 1972 tour while living in Dashut. Nicks stayed back at work on songwriting herself. After learning the name in the book Triad by Mary Leader's book, Nicks wrote "Rhiannon" during this period. (Five years later, a fan sent Evangeline Walton's Mabinogion novels, which portrayed the legendary character Rhiannon, and Nicks later bought the film rights to Walton's films in the hopes of bringing the epic to the screen.) She also wrote "Landslide," influenced by Aspen's scenery and her gradually deteriorating relationship with Buckingham.

Keith Olsen performed "Frozen Love" for drummer Mick Fleetwood, who had come to Sound City, California, in late 1974 in search of a recording studio. When guitarist Bob Welch left to pursue a solo career, Fleetwood recalled Buckingham's guitar work. Fleetwood called Buckingham on December 31, 1974, inviting him to join the band. Buckingham denied, arguing that Nicks and him were "a package deal" and that he would not join without her. The company decided that incorporating the two would make Fleetwood Mac more popular, transforming the British band into an Anglo-American one. This feeling was confirmed during the first rehearsals, with the newcomers' harmonies adding a pop touch to the band's new style of blues-based rock.

Fleetwood Mac's 1975 album Fleetwood Mac achieved international success. Rolling Stone named Nicks' "Rhiannon" one of the Top Songs of All Time. Her live performances of the song throughout the decade developed a dramatic intensity that were otherwise unobtainable on the album. The song came to a climax, in which Nicks' vocals were so ferocious that Mick Fleetwood wrote, "her 'Rhiannon' in those days was like an exorcism." With three million airplays, "Landslide" became another hit from the album.

Nicks collaborated with clothing designer Margi Kent to create a unique onstage look after being aware of her fame as a performer. Her costumes were in a gypsy-bohemian style with flowing skirts, shawls, and platform boots.

Although Nicks and Buckingham's professional success with Fleetwood Mac was evident, their personal relationship was fading. Nicks and Ivy ended their friendship. Fleetwood Mac's successor, Rumours, was released in early 1976 and continued to do so until late in the year. In addition, Nicks and Buckingham performed back-up on Warren Zevon's eponymous second album.

"Dreams" became Nicks' first Billboard Hot 100 hit single and was one of Nicks' contribution to Rumours. Nicks had written and recorded "Silver Springs," but it was not on the album because the early versions of the song were too long and the band didn't want to have too many slow songs on the album. Nicks was really upset to learn that the band had rejected her song "Silver Springs," which he said was beautifully made and carried some of the band's best guitar performances, according to engineer and co-producer Ken Caillat. "Silver Springs," a B-side of Buckingham's equally critical song about Nicks, was released as a B-side of "Go Your Own Way" -- the B-side of the "Go Your Own Way" album. Among Fleetwood Mac's followers, Copies of the single later became collector's item. In 1992, "Silver Springs" was included on the four-disc Fleetwood Mac retrospective 25 Years The Chain.

Rumours, Fleetwood Mac's second album after the incorporation of Nicks and Buckingham, was the best-selling album of all time, with over 45 million copies worldwide as of 2017. For 31 weeks, the album remained at number one on the American charts for 31 weeks, and in other countries, it ranked as number one. In 1978, the album received the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. It produced four Americans. Nicks' "Dreams" is the band's first Billboard Hot 100 top-ten hits, with Nicks' "Dreams" being the band's only Billboard Hot 100 top-ten singles.

Nicks and Fleetwood began an affair in November 1977, after a New Zealand concert on the Rumours tour. Jenny Boyd was married to Fleetwood. Nicks said, "You never told me that it would happen" in a million years. "Most people were furious because Mick was married to a wonderful girl and had two wonderful children." I was terrified. These people made me laugh out loud. I adored his family. So it couldn't possibly work out. And it wasn't even close. "I just couldn't" have a problem." Nicks resigned soon after the incident began. She has stated that if the investigation had been prolonged, it would have ended in Fleetwood Mac. Mick Fleetwood left Boyd for Nicks' girlfriend, Sara Recor, in October 1978.

Fleetwood Mac released their third album with Nicks and Buckingham, Tusk, in 1978, following the success of the Rumours album and tour in 1977 to 1978. By this time, Nicks had amassed a backlog of songs that she had been unable to perform with Fleetwood Mac due to the pressure of having to accommodate three songwriters on each album. Tusk was first published on October 19, 1979. Mirage was recorded in late 1981 and early 1982.

Nicks sang back-up on virtually every track of Not Shy, which was recorded by singer Walter Egan, a friend of both Nicks and Buckingham, while working on Tusk. During the summer of 1978, "Magnet and Steel," influenced by Nicks, became a hit single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Lindsey Buckingham produced the album as well as playing guitar and providing back vocals on some of the tracks. In 1978, Nicks recorded the hit duets "Whenever I Call You Friend" with Kenny Loggins and "Gold" with John Stewart. Nicks made occasional guest appearances with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers on their Hard Promises tour in 1981.

During Tusk sessions in 1979 and 1980, Nicks wrote and recorded demos for a solo project. Nicks, Danny Goldberg, and Paul Fishkin founded Modern Records in order to capture and publish Nicks' music.

Bella Donna, Nicks' debut solo album, was released on July 27, 1981 to critical and commercial acclaim, debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, with four singles making the Billboard Hot 100 and Rolling Stone naming her "the Reigning Queen of Rock and Roll."

Bella Donna's friend Robin Anderson had leukemia on the day she landed first on the Billboard 200. Anderson was pregnant at the time and was given only three months to live. She gave birth to a boy, naming Nicks as the child's godmother. "I never got to enjoy Bella Donna at all because my friend was dying." Something went out that day; there was still something left." Following Robin's death in 1982, Nicks married Kim Anderson, a widow, who was convinced that Robin would want her to care for the baby. "We were all in this insane sadness, just completely distraught," she told the Telegraph in 2007. They divorced three months later.

Bella Donna introduced Nicks' permanent back-up singers, Sharon Celani and Lori Perry (now Nicks after marrying Stevie Nicks' brother Christopher), who have performed on all of Nicks' solo albums since then. Nicks embarked on her White Winged Dove tour in November 1981, when she had to stop short of a record Mirage.

On June 10, 1983, Nicks' second solo album, The Wild Heart, was released. The album debuted double platinum, debuted on the Billboard 200 albums chart, and featured three hit singles. Sandy Stewart, a writer and performer, was also introduced as a co-writer and vocalist.

Nicks appeared at the second US Festival at Glen Helen Regional Park in San Bernardino, California, and later toured the United States from June 1983 to September 1983. Nicks appeared on Saturday Night Live in December 1983, performing "Stand Back" and "Nightbird."

Nicks began working on her third solo album after the tour of The Wild Heart. During 1984, Nicks recorded songs for the album, originally titled Mirror Mirror. Nicks, on the other hand, was dissatisfied with the album and decided to record a new batch of songs in 1985. Rock a Little was renamed and released on November 18, 1985, as it was bolstered by three strong singles. Nicks appeared with Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and the Heartbreakers during their Australian tour.

Nicks' life was turned upside down during the tour. A plastic surgeon warned her of serious health issues if she did not stop using cocaine in January, the tour was scheduled to begin. "What do you think about my nose?" I said. "She recalled on The Chris Isaak Hour in 2009.' "Well, I think the next time you do a hit of cocaine, you'll go to die," the man said. Nicks checked herself into the Betty Ford Center for 30 days after she had finished her Australian tour and struggled with heroin use. She told a UK interviewer, "I saw how they went down, and a part of me wanted to go down with them," she said, "I wish Stevie Nicks would have thought about it a bit more." That's sort of what stopped me from being able to see the world through clear eyes."

Later this year, she visited a psychiatrist who gave her the sedative Klonopin to help her stay free of cocaine.

Fleetwood Mac began performing on Tango in the Night in late 1985, but after her time with the band and a subsequent tour, Nicks was largely unable to appear on the album (Sara's lyrics). In her absence, she sent the band demos of her songs to work. The album was released in April 1987 and became the band's second-best-selling album ever, behind Rumours.

Buckingham had to leave the band right before their world tour due to creative differences and unresolved personal difficulties. When Nicks angrily chastised Buckingham's decision to leave the band, a "physically painful" clash between Nicks and Buckingham ensued, according to bassist John McVie.

In September 1987, the band began on the Shake the Cage tour, with Buckingham being replaced by Rick Vito and Billy Burnette. The tour was suspended during Nicks' bout with chronic exhaustion and addiction to Klonopin, but it resurfaced in 1988. Tango in the Night became a commercial sensation in 1988 and was followed by Fleetwood Mac's Greatest Hits album in November 1988.

Nicks debuted on his fourth solo album with English record producer Rupert Hine in 1988. The Other Side of the Mirror was born on May 11, 1989, with commercial success. Nicks became intimate with Hine.

Nicks appeared in Europe from August to November 1989, the first time she had toured Europe as a solo entertainer. In an attempt to discourage Nicks from returning to her cocaine use, she later said she had "no recall of this tour."

Nicks was supposed to work with Fleetwood Mac on Behind the Mask in 1989, and he's been on a modest commercial success in the United States. However, in the United Kingdom, the album debuted on top of the charts and was awarded platinum. The band went on tour to support the album on the last night of which Buckingham and Nicks reunited on stage to perform "Landslide." Nicks left the tour after she failed to post the 1977 track "Silver Springs" on her album Timespace: The Best of Stevie Nicks because of his plans to save it for release on a new Fleetwood Mac box set. Fleetwood knew that the album would be a selling point for the box set, but that the band's followers had piqued curiosity over the years.

Nicks released Timespace: The Best of Stevie Nicks on September 3, 1991, on the tenth anniversary of her solo career debut. Fleetwood Mac also released "Silver Springs" in the following year.

Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign featured the Fleetwood Mac hit "Don't Stop" as his campaign theme song, and Nicks revived the band's classic Rumours lineup (including Buckingham) to perform the song at Clinton's 1993 inaugural gala. At the time, there were no plans for a formal reunion. Nicks was chastised for her weight gain. Nicks, a 5 foot 1 inch (1.55 m) tall guy, had gained weight, peaking at 175 lbs (79.4 kg). "Klonopin was worse than heroin," she had said. "I lost the eight years of my life." I didn't write because I had gained so much weight."

Nicks held a baby shower at her house in late 1993, but she tripped over a box, passed out, and cut her forehead near a fireplace. "I'm one of those people who doesn't hurt themselves." I was horrified to see the blood. I hadn't had enough wine to go around. "I knew it was the Klonopin," she said. Nicks, who knew she needed assistance, went through a painful 47-day withdrawal from a hospital.

Nicks' fifth solo album, Street Angel, debuted in 1992 and 1993, mainly in previous years. Street Angel was poorly received on May 23, 1994, debuting at number 45 on the Billboard Top 200. Nicks has since expressed disappointment with the album, claiming that a lot of the company's production work took place during her second stint in rehab, which means she had little or no control over the final product. Nicks was knocked by her weight and the album's poor reception. Disgusted by the tour's criticism for being overweight, she promised never to step foot on a stage again unless she slimmed down.

Nicks reunited with Lindsey Buckingham in 1996 and contributed the duet "Twisted" to the Twister film soundtrack, while "Somebody Stand by Me" by Sheryl Crow starred on the Boys on the Side soundtrack in 1996, and Nicks also remade Tom Petty's "Free Fallin'" for Fox's TV hit Party of Five.

Lindsey Buckingham, who was recording on a solo album, enlisted Mick Fleetwood and John McVie in 1996, which resulted in the band's reunion. Fleetwood Mac's latest revival and slimmed-down Nicks attended The Dance, a highly awaited 1997 tour that occurred on the 20th anniversary of Rumours' appearance. Nicks began working with a voice coach prior to the tour to give her voice more autonomy and shield it from the demands of long touring schedules. She also started eating healthier and started jogging to lose weight.

The band's live CD The Dance was released in the United States to commercial and critical acclaim. The Dance earned multiple Grammy Awards, including one nomination for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for their live performance of "Silver Springs." Nicks was one of the group in 1998 for its induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Fleetwood Mac was named Outstanding Contribution at the BRIT Awards the previous year.

Nicks began working on a new solo album on hold after Warner Music was contacted by Warner Music to announce a solo career-spanning box set, to end her deal with Atlantic Records in the United States.

Enchanted's box set was unveiled on April 28, 1998, with liner notes from Nicks, exclusive rare photographs, and pages from her journals. With a fruitful trip to the United States, Nicks has profited from the box set. Nicks performed in Don Henley's benefit concert for the Walden Woods Project in 1998.

In 1994 and 1995, Nicks wrote for Trouble in Shangri-La, becoming aware of her Klonopin dependencies. According to her, former colleague and longtime musician Tom Petty was to blame for compeling her to write music again after he turned down her plea that he write a song with her. Sheryl Crow, who produced and performed on numerous tracks, resurfaced in recording songs for the Trouble in Shangri-La album. When Crow was forced to pull out of the project due to a scheduling clash, Nicks first approached R&B producer Dallas Austin, but no one appeared in the interview. Nicks eventually asked John Shanks to produce the remainder of the album, with additional contributions from David Kahne, Rick Nowels, Pierre Marchand, and Jeff Trott. Natalie Maines, Sarah McLachlan, and Macy Gray appeared on some of the tracks.

Shelburn-Lare's solo career, which came to a halt in May 1, 2001, was a struggle for the Shangri-La restored Nicks' solo career to critical and commercial success. For May 2001, "Planets of the Universe" was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance, and Nicks was named as the VH1's "Artist of the Month" for VH1. Nicks was named one of People magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People in a well-received Behind the Music episode and appeared in an episode of the VH1 Storytellers Concert Series. Nicks appeared on television for several years in support of the album, as well as at the 2001 Radio Music Awards.

Nicks had a fruitful tour, but some shows were cancelled or postponed due to her bout with acute bronchitis. Shows were also cancelled in the United States as a result of the September 11 attacks.

Fleetwood Mac started working on a new studio album in 2001, but this time without Christine McVie, leaving Nicks as the sole female in the band for the first time. Nicks and the other members of the band met in 2002 after finishing her solo tour.

You Will was launched in April 2003 and met with commercial success, but mixed reviews have been published. Nicks was hired by the band to promote the album during a world tour that lasted until September 2004.

She has since stated in several interviews that she was not happy with the album or the highly popular world tour that followed, citing production conflicts with Buckingham as a primary factor, as well as the absence of fellow female band member Christine McVie. Destiny Rules, a documentary about the making of the album, was released on DVD in 2004 and chronicles the band members' often-turbulent friendships, especially Buckingham and Nicks, during that time in the studio.

Nicks did a four-night stint at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas in May 2005, then did ten shows with Don Henley, dubbed the Two Voices tour. Nicks appeared as the opening act on many television shows (Gold Dust tour) throughout the summer of 2005.

In the United States, Reprise Records released Crystal Visions – The Very Best of Stevie Nicks. The album debuted at number 21 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, ranked 21nd.

The collection includes her hit singles, a dance remix, and one new track, a live version of Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll." Two versions of this album were released, one with just the audio CD and a deluxe version that includes audio commentary from Nicks himself, as well as a rare video from the Bella Donna recording sessions.

On May 17, 2007, a tour with Chris Isaak began in Concord, California, and was a success.

Reprise Records first released two radio-only promos, the live version of "Landslide" with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and "Rock and Roll." Both tracks failed to get a lot of airplay and had no effect on the charts. On May 29, 2007, Reprise Records released "Stand Back" (issued with club mixes). "Stand Back," which peaked at number five on the pop singles chart in 1983, debuted at number two on the Billboard Club chart, and "Stand Back" debuted at number two on the pop singles chart in 1983. With "Planets of the Universe," Nicks had risen to number one on this chart, ahead of 2001's Trouble in Shangri-La). On September 15, 2007, the remix single "Stand Back" debuted on the Billboard Hot Singles Sales chart, peaking at number ten the following week. It also debuted on the Billboard Hot Dance Singles Sales chart at number three, with later peaking at number one.

Nicks' album, The Soundstage Sessions, was released on March 31, 2009, by Reprise Records. The album debuted at number 47 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. On March 17, 2009, the first single from the album, "Crash into Me," was released as a digital download, as well as "Landslide" (orchestra version) as a B-side.

Fleetwood Mac announced in late 2008 that the band would tour in 2009, beginning in March. Christine McVie will not be included in the line-up as part of the 2003-2004 tour. The tour was branded "Unleashed" as the "greatest hits" show on television, but they also performed album hits such as "Storms" and "I Know I'm Not Wrong."

Nicks started working on her first solo album in a decade with David A. Stewart, a guitarist and record producer best known for being one half of the duo Eurythmics.

In August 2010, Nicks appeared in a number of shows ("it is not really a tour"). They did not have any of her latest songs because she didn't want it to end up on YouTube. With rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare disease, a young girl she had encountered through the Make-a-Wish Foundation in Los Angeles was able to benefit from the Santa Barbara exhibit.

Reprise revealed Nicks' forthcoming album In Your Dreams will be announced on May 3, and the lead single, "Secret Love," will be released on February 8. Fans of the single who ordered it on certain websites were given a free download of the song by Reprise. Nicks wrote "Secret Love" in 1976 and produced a video based on Fleetwood Mac's 1977 album, Rumours. It was not made the album's final cut. Several years before its inclusion on In Your Dreams, the demo version had circulated among fans for many years. With a video produced by Dave Stewart, Nicks promoted the album. Kelly, Nicks' goddaughter, appears in the video wearing a vintage outfit that Nicks wore on stage in 1976. Kelly's account of the young Nicks blending with Nicks' 62-year-old self.
