Stevie Nicks admits Fleetwood Mac would have been ‘done’ if she didn’t have abortion

As a devoted admirer of Stevie Nicks and her extraordinary journey, I am deeply moved by her raw, unapologetic honesty about her personal experiences. Her courage to share such an intimate part of her past is truly inspiring, especially considering the societal norms of the time when she made this decision.

40 years back, Stevie Nicks candidly discussed her past decision to have an abortion, revealing that if she had chosen to carry the pregnancy, it could have marked the disbandment of Fleetwood Mac.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the 76-year-old artist candidly discussed a past conversation with Katy Perry and disclosed that she was using an IUD when she became pregnant by her former partner Don Henley. She further expressed that she doesn’t mind if people are upset with her for her actions.

When inquired about where she discovered the strength to address the issue, Nicks admitted that if given a choice, she would have maintained silence and clarified: “Actually, I didn’t disclose it publicly – it was Don Henley who made it public.

He phoned to express his apologies. I responded, “Well, Don, we dated for approximately a year and have maintained a strong friendship since then. Our band ‘Leather and Lace,’ which we formed in 1981, has created a bond between us that lasts forever.

‘So, anyway, he let that one out of the bag. I probably would’ve never. Why would I say anything about it? Everything was totally legal. It was, like, 1977, or going into 1978. 

‘Don was the first guy I actually went out with after Lindsey [Buckingham] and I broke up. When this pregnancy happened, it was like, “What the heck happened? I am completely respectful of the world rules here, and all of a sudden this happens to me and I can’t figure it out.”

According to Nick’s account, they visit their gynecologist, who informs them, “You’ve been safeguarded by your Copper-7 IUD, but it seems your uterus is tipped, which means the IUD has only been offering partial protection for you. We were previously unaware of this fact.

She went on to explain how she came to the decision that an abortion was the right option for her, as Fleetwood Mac were riding high after the release of their 1977 album Rumours.

In my case, I find myself at a crossroads, pondering my next steps. It’s clear that motherhood through traditional means isn’t an option for me. I’m not the type who would delegate the care of my child to a nanny, even if given a billion chances, so to speak.

As a lifestyle expert, let me put it this way: Embarking on a global tour with an infant isn’t something I would willingly subject my little one to. Nine months might be the time it takes to carry a baby, but I believe a couple of years are necessary for a more comfortable and balanced journey. Such an extended break could potentially disrupt the band dynamics, definitively.

‘I chose to terminate the pregnancy. Frankly, if anyone wants to criticize me for that, it doesn’t bother me much because ultimately, my life is mine to live, and my choices are ones I have made since elementary school.’

When inquired about suggesting that Fleetwood Mac might have disbanded if she had pursued her pregnancy, she responded: “Disbanded. And it would have been unfortunate, as I wouldn’t have married Don Henley.

She mentioned that it had been an incredibly enjoyable connection, yet he was part of a more renowned band than hers (specifically, The Eagles).

The boys in the band were exceptional rockstars, far from ordinary. None of them were prepared for marriage or parenthood at that time.

She said, “I realized I’d have to handle it alone, and I wasn’t sure how to manage such a task.

This isn’t the first time that Nicks has revealed she has no regrets about having an abortion.

In 2020, she shared with The Guardian that under the heavy workload and constant grind we were experiencing at the time, it was simply impossible for her to have a child.

In essence, I was deeply engulfed in drug use. It was overwhelming. Yet, I recognized that the music we were creating held immense power to mend broken hearts and bring joy to countless individuals. Consequently, I had to distance myself from that environment.

“I realized then how unique we were – there isn’t another band anywhere with two female lead vocalists and songwriters. That, I felt, was our mission in the world.

Stevie (formerly known as Stephanie) stated, ‘If Christine [McVie] were here with me, she’d confirm that we chose to forego having children and instead pursue our musical passions globally. This isn’t a choice for me, it’s my identity.’
