Stevie Nicks Reveals How Her Decision On Abortion Could've 'Destroyed' Fleetwood Mac
HuffPost
The singer revealed that she was faced with a "nightmare scenario" in her earlier years with the band.
Stevie Nicks has opened up about getting an abortion in 1979 and revealed that if she decided otherwise it would’ve “destroyed” Fleetwood Mac.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee — who was in an on-again, off-again relationship with Eagles singer Don Henley when she learned she was pregnant in the late ’70s — told “CBS Sunday Mornings” that she had no idea how big the band “was gonna get” at the time.
“I got pregnant and it was like, ‘Why? I have an IUD, I am totally protected, I have a great gynecologist. How come this has happened? What the heck?’” Nicks told correspondent Tracy Smith.
“So you took all the precautions?” Smith asked.
“Yes. And I’m like, ‘This can’t be happening.’ Fleetwood Mac is three years in. And it’s big. And we’re going into our third album. It was like, ‘Oh no, no, no, no, no, no,’” Nicks replied.
