Synopsis

Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks is a musical visionary, a poet and an enduring style icon with a truly phenomenal life story.

This celebratory book by Zoë Howe traces Stevie's life from her Arizona childhood, through the hedonistic years that followed and the magic moment when she joined Fleetwood Mac to become what Mick Fleetwood described as the band's 'Queen Bee'.

Fans fell for her mix of youthful vulnerability and elusive mystique, both symbolised by a distinctive dress sense, all wafting chiffon, shawls and lace.

Crowned 'The Reigning Queen of Rock And Roll' by Rolling Stone, and with gold and platinum solo albums to her credit, Stevie Nicks outlived her defining Fleetwood Mac image to become a perennially successful recording artist in her own right. Hers is a story of hard work, self-belief and a fierce devotion to musical creativity. Researched through exclusive interviews with many of Stevie's close associates and collaborators, Stevie Nicks: Visions, Dreams & Rumours is a revealing and inspiring portrait of one of rock's great women.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

Put simply, Visions, Dreams and Rumours is an epic tale of an epic woman that has left me even more desperate to find tickets for Fleetwood Mac s UK tour next year --Gigslutz

"Howe documents it all the sex, the drugs and the mystification with the nonjudgmental vigilance of a devoted fan" "Washington Post"
"Though not a memoir, Howe s massive Nicks tome is an example of the legacy Lisa Robinson has created. Howe s Stevie Nicks biography is her latest book, but she s previously written about The Slits, Florence + The Machine and more." "The Riveter Magazine"" --The Washington Post

Witty asides and liberal adjectives add to the breathless, over-the-top feel --Record Collector
