Chalk up another big musical moment to Jimmy Fallon.

The Tonight Show host donned a blond wig, strapped on a guitar and sang with Stevie Nicks on Wednesday’s show, essentially re-creating the video for Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around, Nicks’ 1981 duet hit with Tom Petty. They were introduced by Nirvana members Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic.

Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around was Nicks’ biggest hit outside Fleetwood Mac and appeared on her Bella Donna album. The song’s promotional clip was the 25th video MTV ran when the channel debuted Aug. 1, 1981. Continue reading Jimmy Fallon, Stevie Nicks re-create ‘Draggin” video →

An all-star group gathered on Thursday night to pay tribute to the ailing Linda Ronstadt, whose battle with Parkinson’s disease kept the singing legend from her own Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction.

Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac, Sheryl Crow, Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt and Carrie Underwood performed in her place, helping to frame the legacy of a now-67-year-old star who had already won Grammy, Emmy, Golden Globe and Tony awards over a career that’s spanned more than 30 albums.

Just Like Magic, Stevie Nicks Reappears In Your Dreams

Huffington Post

6th Dec 2013

This must be the Season of the Witch.

Not only did the brilliantly warped minds behind American Horror Story, Ryan and Murphy and Brad Falchuk, create a Coven of them for Season 3, but they also made the witchiest woman of them all part of it.

And Stevie Nicks couldn’t be more delighted. Her summation of the role: “I’ve never done anything like it in my entire life.”

The hippest witch since Samantha Stephens, Nicks doesn’t have to twitch her nose to make things happen. The wild heart of Fleetwood Mac, who cast a magical spell with her beguiling presence, dreamy tunes and seductive voice that’s also one of the most romantic ever to rock your world, is a powerful force again.

On a season when character Misty Day professes her undying love for Stevie Nicks and her music that weaves its way into the series, the original rock goddess will appear during the closing episodes of Coven.

Saying she is now officially “part of a secret society,” after filming her part just before Thanksgiving, Nicks teased, “I can’t tell you a thing. … My lips are sealed.” But as enchanting as Nicks remains at the age of 65, it seemed likely the ethereal wordsmith would be more like an open book than a locked diary during this interview that touched on the current status of Fleetwood Mac, her plans for the future, the otherworldly hit FX show and her childhood fascination with witches.

11209572624_b7a9e6f862On the phone from her lovely home in Los Angeles on December 3, Nicks didn’t need a broomstick to enjoy a thrill ride while promoting the DVD of her film documentary In Your Dreams, which was released earlier that day.

The experience, which captures the making of her album of the same name in 2011 with producer, multi-instrumentalist, co-songwriter and co-kindred spirit Dave Stewart, was “magical,” Nicks said. Continue reading Just Like Magic, Stevie Nicks Reappears In Your Dreams →

Stevie Nicks’ ‘In Your Dreams’ Documentary Due in December

Film chronicles the making of her seventh album

Stevie Nicks will release what’s being billed as an “intimate” documentary, titled In Your Dreams, on December 3rd. The film will chronicle the making of the Fleetwood Mac singer’s 2011 solo album, In Your Dreams – a period she has called “the greatest year of my life.” When it was released, In Your Dreams was Nicks’ first album in a decade, and it featured several songs cowritten and coproduced by Eurythmics founder Dave Stewart. Stewart also co-produced and co-directed the documentary.

The film will be available in different configurations, one of which – the limited-edition deluxe DVD bundle – comes with a copy of the film signed by Nicks, a limited-edition handwritten letter by Nicks and never-before-seen photos. It is currently sold out. Fans seeking an autograph, however, can attend a DVD signing at Barnes and Noble at the Grove in Hollywood on December 4th at 7:00 pm.

The documentary shines a light on Nicks’s personal life, according to a press release, and shows her writing songs, tap-dancing and attending costume parties and feasts. It’s said to include cameos by Mick Fleetwood, Reese Witherspoon and, quizzically, Edgar Allan Poe, as well as a white stallion, owls and “vampires” who appear in “home video–style music videos.” Lastly, it also includes a look at previously unseen seen pictures of Nicks’s childhood and several candid photos taken over the past 35 years.

She crafted an ethereal, mystical persona as the shawl-twirling frontwoman of Fleetwood Mac.

And Stevie Nicks will make her acting debut as the ‘White Witch’ on an upcoming episode of American Horror Story: Coven.

Series creator Ryan Murphy made the announcement on his Twitter page Tuesday, writing: ‘Guess who’s visiting the Coven? The legendary Stevie Nicks!’

The 65-year-old rock goddess – born Stephanie – was already a major source of inspiration for the show’s necromancer witch, Misty Day.

Lily Rabe, who plays Misty, is just as obsessed with the eight-time Grammy nominee as her ethereal character.

‘If I meet her, I actually think I might die on the spot,’ the 31-year-old actress told Entertainment Weekly.

‘I don’t get that crazy about a lot of people. I’m usually pretty cool, calm, and collected. But I don’t know if could behave properly. I love her so much. She’s just a beautiful creature.’ Continue reading ‘The white witch lives!’ Stevie Nicks to guest star as sorceress on American Horror Story: Coven →
