Stevie Nicks has released a letter she wrote to her family while recording with Lindsey Buckingham before their Fleetwood Mac fame, predicting he could be one of the “greats.” The pair, whose romantic tribulations formed the backbone of the band’s celebrated Rumours album, had been recording at Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, California, when the letter was penned. Nicks posted it to Instagram to mark the reissuing of Buckingham Nicks. “My mom saved it and it’s been in a drawer for over 50 years.” The Landslide singer said she was getting “tired” but “I know it will pay off in the end, and when I am sitting in my small but luxurious Beverly Hills home overlooking my small but tasteful pool that is totally secluded, where I can sun in the nude and tan my entire fat body while waiting for my plastic surgery leg lift - it will all be worth it.” She also reminded her “little” family of her upcoming 25th birthday, requesting they set “aside the entire month of May,” for a “gala celebration. I shall leave it to the three of you to plan it.” The letter was rounded off by Nicks admitting, “I certainly do miss you all, and wish you could be here,” adding, “Lindsey may go down in history as one of “greats” in guitar playing.”
