Stephanie Lynn "Stevie" Nicks (born May 26, 1948) is an American singer-songwriter, best known for her work with Fleetwood Mac and an extensive solo career, which collectively have produced over forty Top 50 hits and sold over 120 million albums. She has been noted for her ethereal visual style and symbolic lyrics.
Nicks joined Fleetwood Mac in 1975 along with her then boyfriend Lindsey Buckingham. Fleetwood Macs second album after the incorporation of Nicks and Buckingham, 1977s Rumours, produced four U.S. Top 10 singles (including Nicks song "Dreams (Dreams (Fleetwood Mac song))", which was the bands first and only U.S. number one) and remained at #1 on the American albums chart for over 30 weeks, as well as reaching the top spot in various countries around the world. To date the album has sold over 40 million copies worldwide.
Nicks began her solo career in 1981 with the 5 million selling album Bella Donna (Bella Donna (album)), and she has produced five more solo studio albums to date. After the release of her first solo album, Rolling Stone (Rolling Stone magazine) deemed her "The Reigning Queen of Rock and Roll". Overcoming cocaine addiction (Cocaine dependence), dependency on tranquilizers (sedative), and chronic fatigue syndrome, Nicks remains a popular solo performer. She has been nominated for seven Grammy Awards and, with Fleetwood Mac, won the 1977/1978 Grammy for Album of the Year (Grammy Award for Album of the Year) for Rumours. As a member of Fleetwood Mac, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. Nicks has a contralto vocal range.
