Stevie Nicks
Stevie Nicks is a dynamic performer and songwriter who joined Fleetwood Mac in 1975. She brought a mystical, poetic sensibility to the band, writing hits like “Rhiannon,” “Gypsy,” and “Dreams.” Nicks’s distinctive voice, witchy persona, and flowing scarves made her an iconic figure in rock music.
