When Christine left the band she sold all of her pianos at auction and retired to the countryside. Years later she returned to the band and Stevie told her that she was the one who bought them and she had been storing them all of these years. She gave the pianos back to Christine. That's friendship and sisterhood.
I think it's worth mentioning that her having the baby would not have affected Don Henley or the Eagles. This is the way it is for so many women, that the consequences almost always fall on their shoulders, even when, as in Stevie's case, precautions were taken to avoid pregnancy.
You guys never mention the effect on the baby that lost its life, and by the way that was Don Henley's kid as much as hers but he had zero say in whether that kid lived or died. If people don't want a kid don't engage in the activity that creates a kid, she selfishly flushed away that kid's life so she could continue touring with a band.
@@Anon54387As a man, as a deeply spiritual human.... I too was faced with this in 1980. Giving loving comfort and support to a woman I still love to this day. An unplanned child at that time would have devastating consequences on both our lives to say nothing of the life that child would have lived. It was hard, and I still often feel pain.
When Rumours was popular, both my sister and I were flight attendants in the Middle East, going to parties in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, mostly Americans and Brits, and although there was plenty of music there, we played the Rumours album over and over and over and over all night, every time we flew there and found our friends!!! Such good times! Oh, and Stevie, you are looking and sound as good as ever and MANY thanks for sharing your story. Coolest chic EVER!!!
Absolutely! She was and always will be my musical idol! I've followed her since I was 10 years old from Fleetwood Mac and continued when she went on her own.
but how cool would it have been to see her have her child and continue on singing, dancing, and touring..... women are damn powerful and so capable of much more than imaginable
Looking at her and listening to her, you'd never guess she's 76. She and her body of work--both solo and with Mac--are truly ageless. That she could write and record a song to support restoring reproductive rights for women even in the midst of her grief over Christine's death is nothing short of phenomenal. A true queen; long may she reign.
I met her. Magical and otherworldly. Even when I was still 20 feet away, the energy was so powerful, I began to tear up. I really don’t get star struck after 40 years in the entertainment industry, but Stevie?!?!? It’s almost like she radiates this beautiful energy from another plane. An experience like no other in my lifetime.
There’s nobody quite like her. Her music resonates with me like no other artist. She’s honest & I am glad she’s speaking out for women’s rights. We all need to stand up for ourselves. I have a daughter & I don’t appreciate men who want to take away her rights especially on such a sensitive issue. Stevie is right we must do what is best for us & our families. This isn’t just about women who were irresponsible & got pregnant there are lots of circumstances when it’s necessary. Thank you Stevie!
@@snoops5581 not getting pregnant is pretty easy. Birth control is there if you find it healthy. Find a virtuous man that is committed to you. Abortion Won’t be necessary. Woman’s rights should be reserved for mothers trying to raise great children.
i love you, Stevie! I always have.Thank you for using your voice to express what so many of us are feeling. So frustrating to be treated like a second class citizen and you are bringing this to the light. Bless you!
Absolutely love her! Loved her in the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s & today. Outspoken philosopher with an undeniable sound of her voice that’s unique to her. No one like her.. truly. I’m with ya Stevie MY BODY MY RIGHT!!!❤
I got pregnant at the end of July 1979. My whole world turned against me because I refused to get an abortion. I ended up homeless. Worse I did not know who the father was. I went on to suffer a lifetime of suffering because I refused to get an abortion. When my son turned 42 DNA provided my son with the truth of who his father was. His father and his entire family have embraced him. A year later my son's brother died leaving my other son's children motherless and fatherless. Today the son I refused to eliminate has a wonderful life and is raising his brother's sons.
What a Beautiful story. I feel so bad for your hardship, you poor thing. Thank YOU for choosing LIFE! Nicks is on the short end of life, and I have little doubt she sold her soul for rock and roll.
I have always loved the music of Stevie Nicks since the late seventies. Her new music now raises social consciousness. I look forward to listening her new music.
Stevie, you are a warrior. Thank you for sharing this heartfelt choice with us. Thanks also for coming forward to fight for the rights of women. The decision on whether to continue or end a pregnancy should not be made by committee. It is a choice that should be made by a woman & her doctor. As Tim Walz says, ‘others can mind their own business.’ Stevie, your new song is powerful. Thank you for continuing to bless us with your music. It is most assuredly a gift.
@@SammiJoReviews hmm! What about the rights of unborn women? A child within a mother's womb is not the mother's body but a separate human body all together. Follow the science! As a woman who is close in age to Stevie Nicks and one who has always enjoyed her gift of song and one who completely believe that each of us have the right to free speech whether I agree with them or not and lessons can be learned from each of us sharing our stories but a hero she is not.
I took all necessary precautions and got pregnant with my 4th child. I scheduled an abortion. I did NOT go through with it….. she’s 25 years old now ….BUT …..it was MY decision….
I knew a girl in high school.... very pretty... somewhat promiscuous but not more so than any of the rest of us. Twenty years later I worked with her husband and we got to be good friends. One day he told me that the night before his wife, this pretty girl I had known in high school, started bawling about how she was a terrible person because she had aborted her child. She said she couldn't enjoy any of the material things she now had because in the back of her mind she knew the cost of those things was her baby's life. She was scared to die because she thought God would not be pleased she had the abortion. She was afraid she was going to hell. Most of all, she couldn't stand the thought of being confronted by the child she aborted in the after-life. What would she say to this child? Having a choice does not necessarily mean that the choice that we make is the RIGHT choice or the choice that we can live with. I readily admit that there are women out there who have had abortions who could not care less and not suffer any guilt. (Although the ones who have had multiple abortions... the ones who are using abortion as birth control.... are crazy. If you are having so much unprotected sex that you need to have 10 abortions you are also at a high risk of STD's. And if you need 10 abortions but are only having sex with one guy... you need to examine why you stay with that guy.) Let's not promote abortions to vulnerable teenagers and young women whose entire life may be destroyed by the guilt and loss of having an abortion. Let's not pretend that she is worldly enough to fully understand the choice she is making and the lifelong ramifications it will have. Let's not pretend that it is even her choice all of the time. Lot's of teenagers are pressured into abortions. Let's recognize that there are parents out there who pressure their daughters into abortions because they think they will be stuck with the cost of raising that child. Let's sympathize with the young girl who desperately wanted that child and will suffer for the rest of her life because her own parents forced her to get an abortion. I've known women whose parents forced them to have an abortion. One girl in particular came to understand at an intellectual level as she got older that neither she nor her parents could afford the cost of a baby at that time, but in her heart she still wanted that baby and she hates her parents for taking it away from her. There is no greater form of child abuse than forcing your daughter to have an abortion when she wants to keep that baby. Yes, you may be protecting her ability to go to college and have a career someday, but you also may be damning her to lifelong feelings of guilt and loss. Depending on her innate feelings about God, you may me condemning her to a lifelong fear of God and the afterlife.
@@TheRealProfessorofBoogie But every story is different, i have a story for you, i am just not going to type it, there are so so many people who had kids, and they feel gilty their whole lives, because they could not raise their kids, or protect them, or feem them. I think an abortion is and should be a choice, not enforced- and no this this is not anti-life, people should be able to choose. From my work i know many many peeps whose brother or sister were abused by their sibling because the parents had like twelve kids, in the 90's and this happes still, in the USA, Europe, today, babies, toddlers and a few teenagers running in a house.......so many other cases with other scenarios....i am not anti- life, give your kid the best life, but, yes, i am pro choice, and an abortion should never be forced, and i know girls and ladies who have no guilt or regrets after an abortion, but i also have never met anyone who was forced to have one, i have met people who were glad with their choice, and i hope you will not deem them as less of value because their feelings are different of yours.
This is brutal and so personal because my wife terminated in 1981 and to this day I have so much regret because we had just graduated UCLA and were embarking on our careers. We can’t even talk about it to this today.
@@davidsessera1337were they both pregnant? Y'all need to just accept that YOU are not risking DEATH with each pregnancy. Biology isn't fair, so suck it up. It's not YOUR choice to make, only your opinion on someone else's body.
I understand, Paul. That type of regret truly sucks. Was 17 when I was forced to make the decision. I’m now 66 and sadly never had children. It was probably for the best but still…regret and the “what ifs,” and “if only,” hurts. Still. 🌹

Stevie Nicks is one of the biggest icons of the 80s along with Cyndi Lauper, Pat Benatar, Madonna, Tina Turner, etc. Always about women’s rights and progress.
@@jdgjhn1 This is the United States of America! We will NOT accept different rights in every State for only ONE gender of American Citizens! Women must be free to choose in EVERY STATE! We are the majority. There are more women than men in this country. We will NOT be forced to flee our home states just to find health care! We will vote BLUE and restore our rights in ALL 50 STATES!
She is just amazing. 42 years ago, I sent her a letter asking for an autograph. Several months later I got that autograph in the mail. I still have that autograph. She is an inspiration. I am lucky to have lived during a time when she was alive. Her comments about Christie McVie made me tear up…. “Landslide” always makes me cry.
And you’re doing a fantastic job at it too. Stevie Nicks has that certain voice n style that makes her songs stand out amongst the others. Also she looks awesome at 76. ♥️🥰👍
What a Great woman elder, stevie remembers the years our mothers and other women were dying because they had no power over there bodies!!!! You better prepare for war is a great line, because in a few years the rate of women dying fir lack of health care and children born into situation that are unwanted or deplorable will skyrocket. All women should ve marching in the street behind stevie!!! Our elders did and we have let them down letting men tell us what to do with our bodies. Little do they know it will affect them as well............. thank you stevie!!!!!!
Stevie Nicks has a voice, and she has always used it. She's a warrior, a righteous woman. I'm so proud of her. Her voice picked a great fight for what's right. Thank you, Stevie Nicks
Till this day, women still aren't equal at all. She's a strong woman and a Warrior. We still have a way to go.🌙 🕊 You rock and You Are the best Singer-Songwriter 🎉🌙🕊♥️
Stevie is still beautiful inside and out. She was my first crush and I still feel like that 10yr old boy every time I see or hear her. My biggest regret, never meeting her.
I was in under-grad at USC when Fleetwood Mac hit their peak. I love that band, and thank you Stevie for speaking up for the reproductive rights of women and girls.
Stevie Nicks is the most incredible singer of the '70s when she was a member of Fleetwood Mac. Now, she is a single singer, or a solo singer, and she will continue to make more songs.
I love Stevie Nicks. She made the right choice for her, and there’s nothing more empowering than women deciding over their destiny. I am 9 months pregnant, and 36 years old. This year motherhood called me, and I feel ready, prepared both financially and spiritually to be the mother my child needs. This luxury, I wish upon my fellow females. Not everyone has had the same opportunity to choose wisely.
Stevie was more interested in her next snort of coke , she decided on abortion because she couldn't quit the addiction and her baby would have ruined her party life ! lets get real !
LOVE MY STEVIE!! Saw her in Concert 4 times when you were infine form & in bad times, when they had to help you offstage! Glad wemade it past 70 & BLESS YOU FOR SPEAKING OUT!!! 😮❤
I remember the first time I heard Stevie Nicks sing. I was sitting in my car in a grocery store parking lot and was getting ready to turn the engine off when Rhiannon started playing on the radio. I was absolutely mesmerized and I said to myself, oh, my God, I just found my favorite female singer ever! I was right. Thank you, Stevie! 💕💕
I salute Stevie for taking a stand on women's rights in this backwards looking, divided country. I too used that right in 1979, in 1990 I became a mother and could provide for a child in the way I believe children should be provided for, not just monetarily but to BE there and be fully invested in his life.
@@Crackerbird2000 Come on, in real life, we all know that people will not abstain and that accidents happen. Just look at Stevie's circumstance. Disgusting that you want to make choices for other people.
@@chiefswife1212 wow, I never thought of that. Can’t see any flaws in the plan… hey, and we can eliminate drug use by spreading the word to just say NO!
For starts, it's not fair to the kids. What a shame the abortion right debate circle has been usurped by those who figured out how to use abortion as a means for smear campaigns and to fight over the guy they want like Grease Freaks.
Shes 77. And she’s still performing and getting out there. Christine was 79. The group is up there in the years and their days are numbered but boy did they have a good run. They’re my all time favorite group. Best of wishes to Stevie and may Christine rest in peace.
My comment on her SNL video is #1. "I can't believe SNL allowed a legend". I can't understand how it is #1, but I've been a Stevie Nicks fans as long as I've been an SNL fan and it would seem that all people who know one would know the other. I am shocked that people don't know her talent or how she empowered women through her songs. They're all about women having agency over their sexuality. I love it. I love all her songs and The Lighthouse is a message women need to hear. As a feminist Black Hispanic man it's always been my goal to empower women and Stevie has been my icon of an empowered women for decades! I only wish I could have met her in all this time. I hope we change this country back to a time where women are free again so Stevie can feel like she made a difference.
She says at the beginning she didn't want to have a child that she always disappointed. Then at the end she says if she would have been a mom she would have been a great mom.
I think Stevie is doing what she was meant to do, sharing a bit of her story. Women take precautions and still become pregnant and may still choose to have a child , but certain circumstances it may mot be best , and I speaking more for the child. An unwanted child is possibly in my view to me of the most hurtful things to be. I am not meaning to preach but Stevie is right to stand up and get people to consider the realities of how dark turning back on roe v wade is and also consider how shameful it is for us here in the United States to be going backwards on a number of issues that deeply affect people who already face a lack of acceptance.
I completely agree with Stevie. I know she did the right thing and I am very sure that Christine's spirit is with her not only onstage but most of the time as well.
Thank you for standing up and telling your Roe v Wade story. Wonderful of you to use your platform in this manner. One of the reasons that I have always loved you. I've been there and done that as well. Women should have the choice. I feel blessed to have lived in this time musically.
So disappointing to hear of her awful crusade. As a middle aged woman (and musician) who always wanted marriage and children but am still single and barren, it's really difficult to relate other women and to deal with this kind of life. So when I heard Stevie Nicks give an interview about devoting her life to music instead of marriage and family, I thought "That's it! I am like Stevie Nicks! We are the same!".....But as I discovered the full story as to why she is childless, now I know we are NOT the same. She had my dream, but she killed it.
@@Tiphaniees Funny how pro life comments get deleted but yours stays. My deepest condolences to all who were denied the ability to have a baby desperately wanted
That's YOUR business. It's no one's fault about your predicament. People make decisions for their lives. Freedom of Choice. Not based on what someone else can't do. Other women cannot live their lives to satisfy barren women.
@@johannedillworth7413 Anti-Abortion comments only get Deleted when they are hateful judgmental comments. If you all just stop projecting how you feel on others, and *accept the reality that you don't get to decide what others do, you'd be fine.*
@@TheBrownIsland You don't have freedom of choice to end another life! I didn't say she needed to live the life I wanted-- there's no possible way to "satisfy" my situation by another women having a child....that's an absolutely silly thought and makes no sense! Seeing other women with the dream I wanted actually makes me feel worse. I'm just pointing out the irony, sharing my story, and expressing my opinion of how ungrateful I personally think she is in terminating the blessing that other women so yearn for. Maybe put some vasaline on that butthurt? 🙄
Stevie Nicks is not being completely honest. This is a revision of history from a narcissist as she had more than one abortion, it's been speculated as many as four or five. If she didn't want to be a mother, why did she marry her best friend's husband right after she died who had an infant son? That's a well known fact she's mentioned many times! What is not being said here is not all women are narcissists. We are all not capable of terminiating an unplanned pregnancy! As a narcissist, Stevie Nicks does not respect boundaries, has little empathy and talks about terminating a pregnancy like she simply got up to get a glass of water. Women, please do not follow this woman as a moral example! She may be a great rocker, she is not a great moral pillar and please search your heart and mind to determine how YOU will feel, if you can terminate a pregnancy and merrily go on with your life! Many can, don't let them be your guide! Know who you are and what type of personality you are, if you are a narcissist, narcissistic, normal or empath. Terminating a pregnancy may not be for you and it's something you can never go back and do over!
The wonderful Stevie Nicks. I first heard Silver Spring on the flip side of a 45 when it came out (I was 10 yrs old), I'm so happy she's in this fight (as I knew she would be) standing up for what's right..a human being's right to choose what is right for themselves. I have been there.. listening to the story telling since "Rhiannon". My favorite story she tells.. "Sara". "I cherish you Stevie".. to me.. "you're family"..., "Peace".
She Walks On Water!!❤❤❤ I Love This Woman On Every Level..& She's My Hero!!!!! Do Not Discriminate Her Or Condemn Her....U Who Don't Know Her!!!!!!! XOXO
Or they probably would have been like most of the children of talented people -- nothing to write home about regarding the art their parents were famous for. Folks always make babies out to be magical or something. They're just infant people.
Or just another messed up child who had lots of money but no parents with them ever due to their career and always being away from home. Could have went that way as well.
@@Artemis_A-24 There is a reason that she had an abortion, neither of them could just stop what they are doing and go be with a baby. They were both part of some of the biggest bands in history, which means that you can't just stop touring.
Many well known, constantly touring musicians have had difficulty maintaining stable relationships, because they are on the road, not at home. Let's look at Mick Jagger...if you wanna talk about the guys.
ReverendSnedley, thank you for noticing. I worked hard for my doctorate. I find so many opportunities to apply what I’ve learned in the Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (dsm-5-tr) every single day. UA-cam comments is one such place. Care for a professional assessment? By the way, psychoanalysis is kind of dated. I prefer cognitive approaches.
Sometimes women get active in the pro abortion movement as a defense mechanism for dealing with the long term trauma and self loathing that results from getting an abortion. She seems like she is in a lot of pain over her decision. I wish for her sake that this interview was about her relationship with her child and the joy that has brought her. Perhaps we should all take a moment to mourn the loss of her child.
On the surface, Stevie Nicks seems like the ultimate diva-prima donna, but every interview I've seen of her she is brutally honest and personally revealing. .
Hearing Stevie Nicks talk about Christine McVie broke my heart. You can tell she's still devastated by her loss, you can see the tears in her eyes.
She's "devastated" that she wasn't a better friend to Christine.
@@dirish709Aren't we all guilty of that at some point ?

Let's recognize that there are parents out there who pressure their daughters into abortions because they think they will be stuck with the cost of raising that child. Let's sympathize with the young girl who desperately wanted that child and will suffer for the rest of her life because her own parents forced her to get an abortion. I've known women whose parents forced them to have an abortion. One girl in particular came to understand at an intellectual level as she got older that neither she nor her parents could afford the cost of a baby at that time, but in her heart she still wanted that baby and she hates her parents for taking it away from her. There is no greater form of child abuse than forcing your daughter to have an abortion when she wants to keep that baby. Yes, you may be protecting her ability to go to college and have a career someday, but you also may be damning her to lifelong feelings of guilt and loss. Depending on her innate feelings about God, you may me condemning her to a lifelong fear of God and the afterlife.
As it should be. No one elses business.
@@TheRealProfessorofBoogiemaybe your belief is irrational a god a judgmental one an afterlife or before life if you think about last one
@@TheRealProfessorofBoogieYes! "Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought."
@@TheRealProfessorofBoogie But every story is different, i have a story for you, i am just not going to type it, there are so so many people who had kids, and they feel gilty their whole lives, because they could not raise their kids, or protect them, or feem them. I think an abortion is and should be a choice, not enforced- and no this this is not anti-life, people should be able to choose. From my work i know many many peeps whose brother or sister were abused by their sibling because the parents had like twelve kids, in the 90's and this happes still, in the USA, Europe, today, babies, toddlers and a few teenagers running in a house.......so many other cases with other scenarios....i am not anti- life, give your kid the best life, but, yes, i am pro choice, and an abortion should never be forced, and i know girls and ladies who have no guilt or regrets after an abortion, but i also have never met anyone who was forced to have one, i have met people who were glad with their choice, and i hope you will not deem them as less of value because their feelings are different of yours.
A legend in her own mind.
This is brutal and so personal because my wife terminated in 1981 and to this day I have so much regret because we had just graduated UCLA and were embarking on our careers. We can’t even talk about it to this today.
Was it a decision that was made together?
@@davidsessera1337were they both pregnant? Y'all need to just accept that YOU are not risking DEATH with each pregnancy. Biology isn't fair, so suck it up. It's not YOUR choice to make, only your opinion on someone else's body.
I understand, Paul. That type of regret truly sucks. Was 17 when I was forced to make the decision. I’m now 66 and sadly never had children. It was probably for the best but still…regret and the “what ifs,” and “if only,” hurts. Still. 🌹
@@CO72MoonchyldHere’s a thought. Wrongful death lawsuit. I sure hope men who desperately wanted that child have that option.
@@johannedillworth7413 How about adoption?
Stevie is, despite being a mega star, a woman. I respect her for all that she shares with us.
Thank you for featuring Stevie Nicks❣️ You Rock Stevie❣️ We love you❣️
Amen.
Got to see her and Don Henley in 1987. It was an absolutely amazing experience
Too bad Stevie and Don's child never had the absolutely amazing experience of seeing them.... But you got to see them. That's all that matters.
@@TheRealProfessorofBoogie there never was "Stevie and Don's child"...knock it off and don't comment if you can't respect the subject matter here: Stevie and HER Choices; Including not recognizing your personal RULE
My heart broke when she expressed her love for Christine McVie! Love her!
My heart broke too. Honestly, I have been heartbroken since Christine died. 😢💔
McVie was incredibly talented!
Stevie Nicks is one of the biggest icons of the 80s along with Cyndi Lauper, Pat Benatar, Madonna, Tina Turner, etc. Always about women’s rights and progress.
One of the most beautiful friendships on the show! Long live Christine! Hail Stevie! ❤❤😢
God bless you, Stevie! This song is so powerful and absolutely necessary. WE WILL NOT GO BACK!
It already went back. Back to the states.
@@jdgjhn1 This is the United States of America! We will NOT accept different rights in every State for only ONE gender of American Citizens! Women must be free to choose in EVERY STATE! We are the majority. There are more women than men in this country. We will NOT be forced to flee our home states just to find health care! We will vote BLUE and restore our rights in ALL 50 STATES!
You’re right, states can now decide for themselves. My state, my choice
God don’t bless evil , killing children and calling it health care is evil.

Stevie Nicks is still out there being great!
Love you Stevie! Thank you for sharing your story. You are a beacon of light for all women!
She slaughtered her baby because she was selfish..
@@janc8199False! Who are you to judge?

I'm addicted to Stevie Nicks . I've always loved her and her music
Loved Belladonna. Wore the album out
She is just amazing. 42 years ago, I sent her a letter asking for an autograph. Several months later I got that autograph in the mail. I still have that autograph. She is an inspiration. I am lucky to have lived during a time when she was alive. Her comments about Christie McVie made me tear up…. “Landslide” always makes me cry.
I did the same thing 46 years ago!
And you’re doing a fantastic job at it too.
Stevie Nicks has that certain voice n style that makes her songs stand out amongst the others. Also she looks awesome at 76.
♥️🥰👍
She’s so candid, so smart and talented! I admire her greatly. ❤
She is very direct, keeps it simple to understand and keeps it short. Yet still, there is much warmth.
No intelligence what so ever
Stevie, thank you for taking the lead.As always, love your music.Love you , blessed be
What a Great woman elder, stevie remembers the years our mothers and other women were dying because they had no power over there bodies!!!! You better prepare for war is a great line, because in a few years the rate of women dying fir lack of health care and children born into situation that are unwanted or deplorable will skyrocket. All women should ve marching in the street behind stevie!!! Our elders did and we have let them down letting men tell us what to do with our bodies. Little do they know it will affect them as well............. thank you stevie!!!!!!
76!!?? She hasn’t changed a bit. She’s so beautiful!
Plastic has a very long half-life.
She's in her lane, doing what she loves. She's grounded and open. Great talent. Great lady.
Stevie Nicks has a voice, and she has always used it. She's a warrior, a righteous woman.
I'm so proud of her.
Her voice picked a great fight for what's right.
Thank you,
Stevie Nicks
Till this day, women still aren't equal at all. She's a strong woman and a Warrior. We still have a way to go.🌙 🕊 You rock and You Are the best Singer-Songwriter 🎉🌙🕊♥️
@@seasonschange4337 righteous by what standard?
Stevie is still beautiful inside and out. She was my first crush and I still feel like that 10yr old boy every time I see or hear her. My biggest regret, never meeting her.
I had the pleasure in the early nineties to see the band in Portland, Maine!!!! One of the great🎵 treats of my life! Thanks, Stevie!!!!👏🎵🇺🇲💖
Loved this woman for almost 50 years now. Nobody compares to Stevie Nicks. Still rocking it.
Gah does it get any better than this woman?! What a legend.
I was in under-grad at USC when Fleetwood Mac hit their peak. I love that band, and thank you Stevie for speaking up for the reproductive rights of women and girls.
Dear Stevie, I have loved you since I was 3 years old in 1976. I can’t imagine my life without your music. Many Blessings to you Stevie. Carry On 🙏🏻
I love that woman!! She is amazing as a person and singer/songwriter!! I simply cant not nelieve that she is 76!!! She's still so beautiful!!!!❤
Stevie Nicks is the most incredible singer of the '70s when she was a member of Fleetwood Mac. Now, she is a single singer, or a solo singer, and she will continue to make more songs.
Stevie is one of my all-time favorite ARTISTS - regardless of genre. Why? Because she really IS a great storyteller!
I love Stevie Nicks. She made the right choice for her, and there’s nothing more empowering than women deciding over their destiny. I am 9 months pregnant, and 36 years old. This year motherhood called me, and I feel ready, prepared both financially and spiritually to be the mother my child needs. This luxury, I wish upon my fellow females. Not everyone has had the same opportunity to choose wisely.
Beautifully said. Wishing you and your precious baby all the best.
Luxury? Murdering your child?
What is the difference in your child from last month to next month?
Stevie was more interested in her next snort of coke , she decided on abortion because she couldn't quit the addiction and her baby would have ruined her party life ! lets get real !
@@Jade-902 raising a child should be a luxury.
Stevie You are amazing!!!!!!
LOVE MY STEVIE!! Saw her in Concert 4 times when you were infine form & in bad times, when they had to help you offstage! Glad wemade it past 70 & BLESS YOU FOR SPEAKING OUT!!! 😮❤
Preach it sister Stevie ! 🌊💙🙏🏽
❤❤❤ LOVE YOU, STEVIE!!! ❤❤❤
I could tell she was scared.. It showed in her eyes! I love Stevie!!!
Thank you Stevie!
Stevie Nicks is Timeless.
Great interview! TY Stevie for shining the light AGAIN on women and our struggles.
So brave for her to speak the truth. I wish I had that mindset so much earlier. But, that was not an option.
Jane Pauley said it best..."The one & only Stevie Nicks."
I love you Stevie Nicks ❤❤❤
I could not love her more!Shes so brave!
Funny how having kids didn't hurt the band, Heart one bit, but Stevie did chose life.. her own
Absolutely Epic & Lovely to the Core ❤
Thanks to you and the women of your generation for all that you have done! I am fighting for my daughter and Granddaughter! 💙💙💙💙💙
I love this woman she’s so amazing ❤
Hearing her explain why she had an abortion was awkward, It was her legal right (at the time) to do that and that's all the reason she needs.
I remember the first time I heard Stevie Nicks sing. I was sitting in my car in a grocery store parking lot and was getting ready to turn the engine off when Rhiannon started playing on the radio. I was absolutely mesmerized and I said to myself, oh, my God, I just found my favorite female singer ever! I was right. Thank you, Stevie! 💕💕
I salute Stevie for taking a stand on women's rights in this backwards looking, divided country. I too used that right in 1979, in 1990 I became a mother and could provide for a child in the way I believe children should be provided for, not just monetarily but to BE there and be fully invested in his life.
I support having abortions legalized. Forcing parents to conceive unwanted children tends to go sideways on many levels.
@@Crackerbird2000 Come on, in real life, we all know that people will not abstain and that accidents happen. Just look at Stevie's circumstance. Disgusting that you want to make choices for other people.
No sex no baby math is pretty simple.
@@chiefswife1212 wow, I never thought of that. Can’t see any flaws in the plan… hey, and we can eliminate drug use by spreading the word to just say NO!
But abortion ends the life of a living human being who was ALREADY conceived....
For starts, it's not fair to the kids. What a shame the abortion right debate circle has been usurped by those who figured out how to use abortion as a means for smear campaigns and to fight over the guy they want like Grease Freaks.
My how time flies.....thanks Steve. I met you at your cousins house circa 1969. Thanks for speaking out !!!!
I witnessed Stevie Nicks Wild Heart Tour Concert (circa 1983) and Joe Walsh was the opening act. Great Show and the best of times growing Up.
Shes 77. And she’s still performing and getting out there. Christine was 79. The group is up there in the years and their days are numbered but boy did they have a good run. They’re my all time favorite group. Best of wishes to Stevie and may Christine rest in peace.
I love Stevie. See her every time she tours! She's so genuine.
My comment on her SNL video is #1. "I can't believe SNL allowed a legend".
I can't understand how it is #1, but I've been a Stevie Nicks fans as long as I've been an SNL fan and it would seem that all people who know one would know the other. I am shocked that people don't know her talent or how she empowered women through her songs. They're all about women having agency over their sexuality. I love it. I love all her songs and The Lighthouse is a message women need to hear.
As a feminist Black Hispanic man it's always been my goal to empower women and Stevie has been my icon of an empowered women for decades! I only wish I could have met her in all this time. I hope we change this country back to a time where women are free again so Stevie can feel like she made a difference.
Thank you for your comments they are so very much appreciated. I’ve love Stevie since I first heard Rhiannon in 1975, I was 18 years old.
Absolute ICON!!! One of the greatest singer songwriter male or female of all time!!!!
Stevie you rock on all levels!! Thank you for speaking out through song!!😍
She says at the beginning she didn't want to have a child that she always disappointed. Then at the end she says if she would have been a mom she would have been a great mom.
Stevie Nicks RULES!
ok
I think Stevie is doing what she was meant to do, sharing a bit of her story. Women take precautions and still become pregnant and may still choose to have a child , but certain circumstances it may mot be best , and I speaking more for the child. An unwanted child is possibly in my view to me of the most hurtful things to be. I am not meaning to preach but Stevie is right to stand up and get people to consider the realities of how dark turning back on roe v wade is and also consider how shameful it is for us here in the United States to be going backwards on a number of issues that deeply affect people who already face a lack of acceptance.
I disagree a baby is a human being. Speak up for those that not yet have a voice
I completely agree with Stevie. I know she did the right thing and I am very sure that Christine's spirit is with her not only onstage but most of the time as well.
Eloquent and easy to understand. Wise, beautiful -- real.
Thank you for standing up and telling your Roe v Wade story. Wonderful of you to use your platform in this manner. One of the reasons that I have always loved you. I've been there and done that as well. Women should have the choice.
I feel blessed to have lived in this time musically.
So disappointing to hear of her awful crusade. As a middle aged woman (and musician) who always wanted marriage and children but am still single and barren, it's really difficult to relate other women and to deal with this kind of life. So when I heard Stevie Nicks give an interview about devoting her life to music instead of marriage and family, I thought "That's it! I am like Stevie Nicks! We are the same!".....But as I discovered the full story as to why she is childless, now I know we are NOT the same. She had my dream, but she killed it.
@@Tiphaniees Funny how pro life comments get deleted but yours stays. My deepest condolences to all who were denied the ability to have a baby desperately wanted
That's YOUR business. It's no one's fault about your predicament. People make decisions for their lives. Freedom of Choice. Not based on what someone else can't do. Other women cannot live their lives to satisfy barren women.
@@johannedillworth7413 Anti-Abortion comments only get Deleted when they are hateful judgmental comments. If you all just stop projecting how you feel on others, and *accept the reality that you don't get to decide what others do, you'd be fine.*
@@TheBrownIsland You don't have freedom of choice to end another life! I didn't say she needed to live the life I wanted-- there's no possible way to "satisfy" my situation by another women having a child....that's an absolutely silly thought and makes no sense! Seeing other women with the dream I wanted actually makes me feel worse. I'm just pointing out the irony, sharing my story, and expressing my opinion of how ungrateful I personally think she is in terminating the blessing that other women so yearn for. Maybe put some vasaline on that butthurt? 🙄
Stevie Nicks is not being completely honest. This is a revision of history from a narcissist as she had more than one abortion, it's been speculated as many as four or five. If she didn't want to be a mother, why did she marry her best friend's husband right after she died who had an infant son? That's a well known fact she's mentioned many times! What is not being said here is not all women are narcissists. We are all not capable of terminiating an unplanned pregnancy! As a narcissist, Stevie Nicks does not respect boundaries, has little empathy and talks about terminating a pregnancy like she simply got up to get a glass of water. Women, please do not follow this woman as a moral example! She may be a great rocker, she is not a great moral pillar and please search your heart and mind to determine how YOU will feel, if you can terminate a pregnancy and merrily go on with your life! Many can, don't let them be your guide! Know who you are and what type of personality you are, if you are a narcissist, narcissistic, normal or empath. Terminating a pregnancy may not be for you and it's something you can never go back and do over!
Such a beautiful soul; such an intelligent Brain. I adore her since my childhood ❤❤
no she soul hers.
My condolences to Ms. Nicks for the loss of her beloved friend Christine.
And my condolences to her unborn baby.
The wonderful Stevie Nicks. I first heard Silver Spring on the flip side of a 45 when it came out (I was 10 yrs old), I'm so happy she's in this fight (as I knew she would be) standing up for what's right..a human being's right to choose what is right for themselves. I have been there.. listening to the story telling since "Rhiannon". My favorite story she tells.. "Sara". "I cherish you Stevie".. to me.. "you're family"..., "Peace".
Silver Springs my FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME!!!!! I also became hooked when it was the b side of Go Your Own Way
Thank you for your all your songs and especially for the courage to use your voice, then and now. 😢😮1
She Walks On Water!!❤❤❤
I Love This Woman On Every Level..& She's My Hero!!!!!
Do Not Discriminate Her Or Condemn Her....U Who Don't Know Her!!!!!!!
XOXO
She was phenomenal! Especially that song lighthouse
How sad to hear that she had an abortion….think how talented her child might have been with her and don Henley.
Or they probably would have been like most of the children of talented people -- nothing to write home about regarding the art their parents were famous for. Folks always make babies out to be magical or something. They're just infant people.
Or just another messed up child who had lots of money but no parents with them ever due to their career and always being away from home. Could have went that way as well.
It was her decision to make, not yours.
@@brianmichaels5112 Ah yes, because why even try to be a parent right? Thank god states have a say now
@@Artemis_A-24 There is a reason that she had an abortion, neither of them could just stop what they are doing and go be with a baby. They were both part of some of the biggest bands in history, which means that you can't just stop touring.
God I’m 63 and she looks younger than me!! She’s amazing ❤❤❤
Thank you ❤
She sings wonderfully, but I believe it’s telling she hasn’t managed a stable relationship. Something about her is just toxic and destructive.
OK so you're the YT psychoanalyst in charge - will make a note of that
Many well known, constantly touring musicians have had difficulty maintaining stable relationships, because they are on the road, not at home. Let's look at Mick Jagger...if you wanna talk about the guys.
ReverendSnedley, thank you for noticing. I worked hard for my doctorate. I find so many opportunities to apply what I’ve learned in the Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (dsm-5-tr) every single day. UA-cam comments is one such place. Care for a professional assessment? By the way, psychoanalysis is kind of dated. I prefer cognitive approaches.
Sometimes women get active in the pro abortion movement as a defense mechanism for dealing with the long term trauma and self loathing that results from getting an abortion. She seems like she is in a lot of pain over her decision. I wish for her sake that this interview was about her relationship with her child and the joy that has brought her. Perhaps we should all take a moment to mourn the loss of her child.
There is no evidence of any "abortion trauma." Stop trying to deceive people.
On the surface, Stevie Nicks seems like the ultimate diva-prima donna, but every interview I've seen of her she is brutally honest and personally revealing. .
