Synopsis

The New biography of “the Reigning Queen of Rock and Roll” (Rolling Stone)

Lyrical visionary, enduring style icon, and one indispensable fifth of post-Peter Green megaband Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks is one of the most recognizable figures in rock ’n’ roll history―very much Fleetwood Mac’s “Queen Bee,” as Mick Fleetwood himself described her. With gold and qua­druple platinum solo albums under her beaded belt, Stevie Nicks has enjoyed the ultimate in rock ‘n’ roll success as a recording artist―but this charmed life has come as a result of hard graft, self-belief, and a devotion to creativity above all; hers has been a journey of intense highs and lows.

  This new biography, a celebration of the Stevie Nicks phenomenon, takes us on her journey from peripatetic Midwest childhood to her explosion onto the music scene as chiffon-swathed rock goddess, right up to present day. Including exclusive inter­views with some of Stevie’s associates and collabo­rators from over the years, author Zoë Howe explores the mystique while retaining the magic of this modern-day musical sorceress and wise woman of rock.

Review:

"Howe documents it all — the sex, the drugs and the mystification — with the nonjudgmental vigilance of a devoted fan" —Washington Post

"Though not a memoir, Howe’s massive Nicks tome is an example of the legacy Lisa Robinson has created. Howe’s Stevie Nicks biography is her latest book, but she’s previously written about The Slits, Florence + The Machine and more." —The Riveter Magazine
