Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks Reveals She Was Once Pregnant With Eagles Singer Don Henley’s Child

Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks is gearing up to release her new album 24 Karat Gold — Songs From the Vault Oct. 7, which will be full of songs she wrote between the late 1960s and mid-'90s. But before her new album hits stores, Nicks is revealing her crazy past and clearing up some rumors.

The 66-year-old singer-songwriter sat down with Billboard and told all about her musical and personal past. In order to record these old songs — which had never been recorded but were already written — Stevie had to take a trip down memory lane, and what she remembers is pretty insane.

In regards to her song "Hard Advice," Nicks revealed that it was inspired by a lecture Tom Petty gave her during her drug addiction phase.

"I'd asked him to write a song with me — this was about two months after I came out of rehab for [addiction to] Klonopin. I was still in a fragile state, after 48 days of hell in rehab. And Tom said, 'You don't need help to write a song. You just need to get over this experience that bummed you out so bad. The relationship you were in is over, it was over a long time ago, and you need to move on.' And I went home and wrote this song," she told Billboard.

But who was "Hard Advice" about?

Stevie opened up about her past relationship with Eagles singer Don Henley, who previously made a statement about how the band's 1979 song "Sara," which Nicks wrote, was actually about their unborn child, saying "[What Don says about the song] is accurate but not the entirety of it."

"Had I married Don and had that baby, and had she been a girl, I would have named her Sara. But there was another woman in my life named Sara, who shortly after that became Mick [Fleetwood]'s wife, Sara Fleetwood," Stevie revealed to the publication.

Despite being so open about her new album's songs and her past inspirations and influences, the singer explained that she would not be writing a memoir just yet.

"The world is not ready for my memoir, I guarantee you. All of the men I hung out with are on their third wives by now, and the wives are all under 30. If I were to write what really happened between 1972 and now, a lot of people would be very angry with me," the "Gypsy" singer said. "It'll happen some day, just not for a very long time. I won't write a book until everybody is so old that they no longer care."

"I am loyal to a fault. And I have a certain loyalty to these people that I love because I do love them, and I will always love them. I cannot throw any of them under the bus until I absolutely know that they will not care," she added.

Stevie will play Madison Square Garden with Fleetwood Mac on the same day her new album drops. The concert will be the fifth date in the band's On with the Show North American tour, which features Christine McVie, who quit the group in 1998.
