Tragic Details About Stevie Nicks

As both a legendary solo artist and a member of the rock group Fleetwood Mac, Steve Nicks has lived hard and fast in her five-decade career — for better or for worse. And it's fair to say things haven't always been easy. Here are the tragic details about Stevie Nicks.

Stephanie Lynn Nicks was born in Phoenix in 1948 to Jess, a corporate executive, and Barbara, a homemaker. Nicks' grandpa, Aaron Nicks, was an aspiring country music singer who taught her to sing at the age of four, built a guitar for her, and began taking her with him to local music gigs. Following a successful tap dance performance in the sixth grade, Nicks decided she wanted to be a performer.

Then, while attending High School, she met a boy: a high school classmate and fellow musician named Lindsey Buckingham, who was playing at a party Nicks went to in 1966. On a whim, Nicks began singing as Buckingham played. The two didn't see each other again for two years, until, one day, Buckingham called out of the blue and asked Nicks to join his band. The group was called Fritz, and Nicks was a welcome addition. She also fell in love with Buckingham, and the duo remained together as Fritz opened for a number of iconic musicians, including Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and Santana, before breaking up in 1971. Nicks and Buckingham, however, remained together and formed their own band: Buckingham Nicks.
