She spent the night working on a song that would end up becoming the lead single from Nicks’ 1983 solo album “The Wild Heart” and the single went to No. 5 in the U.S. Billboard Top 100.
After writing her song ‘Stand Back” she asked for a meeting with Prince and 20 minutes later they were introduced to each other for the first time in a studio in Los Angeles.
Nicks said Prince listened to her song, inspired by his “Little Red Corvette” classic and went straight over to the keyboard to start adding his own parts.
He then got up, gave her a hug and left.

“He spoiled me for every band I’ve ever had because nobody can exactly re-create — not even with two piano players —what Prince did all by his little self,” she said in the book “Rock Lives.”
Nicks said as much as she admired Prince, she avoided a romantic relationship with him because she appreciated their musical connection.

Nicks said as much as she admired Prince, she avoided a romantic relationship with him because she appreciated their musical connection.

“I really wanted a musical relationship, and I had smartened up, even then,” she explained. “You’ll break up and never speak again. But he wasn’t interested in just that.”
In turn, Prince’s “When Doves Cry” was inspired by Nicks’ song “Edge of Seventeen.”

The Fleetwood Mac star said that she was heavily into drugs when she collaborated with Prince.
“The eighties were pretty bad drug years for me,” Stevie Nicks told The New Yorker. “And Prince was not very into drugs. And the fact that he ended up being on a lot of pain medication just blows my mind, because he was so against it, and he gave me so many lectures about it.”
The “Gypsy” singer said Prince warned her about her drug use. “I’d talk to him every once in a while on the phone, and we’d talk for hours, and he’d go, ‘You gotta be careful, Stevie.’ And I’d go, ‘I know, I know.’”
Following his death Nicks said, “My sadness is that he did die of an accidental drug overdose. He’s up there looking down, saying to me, ‘Sweetie, I can’t believe it happened either.’”

It seems Prince was right to be worried at the time as Nicks ended up in rehab twice. The singer checked into the Betty Ford clinic in 1986 for her cocaine addiction, and then went to another hospital in 1993 for her addiction to Klonopin, which Nicks said she was over-prescribed.
But in 1986, Nicks spoke to a plastic surgeon about her nose. The doctor told her she had burned a coin-sized hole in her nose from her cocaine abuse.
“I said, ‘What do you think about my nose?’” the singer recalled. “And he said, ‘Well, I think the next time you do a hit of cocaine, you could drop dead.’”
Following her conversation with the doctor, Nicks decided to check into the Betty Ford clinic. The move helped turn her life around and arguably saved her career and her life.
Thank goodness she had a conversation that set her on the right path. It sounds like it came at just the right time.
It is, however, a tragedy that Prince couldn’t get off the harmful opioids that he was on. Nicks’ story just confirms the musical genius he really was and how generous he was with his talent.
He will always be a musical legend, missed by millions.

SURI CRUISE DITCHES MOM’S NYC MANSION FOR DORM LIFE – SEE THE STUNNING TRANSFORMATION IN PICS

Katie Holmes’ daughter, Suri Cruise, has recently taken a big step toward independence. After finishing high school, Suri moved out of her mother’s luxurious New York City apartment and into a college dorm room, where she is now sharing space with a roommate.

In 2014, Suri Cruise lived with her mother, Katie Holmes, in a rental apartment at the Chelsea Mercantile. By 2024, Suri had moved out to start college, leaving Katie as an empty nester. Suri is now settling into a college dorm, marking a new chapter in her life.

Katie and her daughter nearly moved to a different home in the Apthorp neighborhood of New York City. In 2014, Katie made a bid on a prewar apartment there. The Upper West Side home had four bedrooms and four bathrooms.

Katie Holmes’ financial advisors suggested that renting their high-rise luxury apartment was a better choice. Because of this advice, Katie and Suri decided to stay in their current apartment.

However, their living situation changed after Suri graduated from LaGuardia High School. Before she got her diploma, Suri enjoyed some time with her classmates on the streets of New York City on June 20, 2024, right before their high school prom.

Suri Cruise looked stunning in a patterned bodice-style gown for her prom. She accessorized with a black clutch bag, a pink rose corsage, and heels. Her prom date wore a dark blue suit, and they posed for pictures together.

Everyone was dressed up for the special event.

Later, footage showed Suri, who looks a lot like her mom Katie Holmes, celebrating with her classmates while wearing red graduation robes on June 21, 2024.

A friend posed for photos with Suri, while another friend stood nearby on the pavement as cars passed by.

Suri looked happy as she posed for pictures taken by her mom in New York City.

Suri Cruise didn’t waste any time starting college at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. On August 18, 2024, she was seen moving into her dorm with help from her mother, Katie Holmes. They looked happy as they carried luggage, marking an important milestone in Suri’s life.

Reports say that while Suri was settling into her dorm, her father was allegedly enjoying life in London. The mother-daughter duo was spotted carrying luggage to Suri’s new home on campus.

The university campus is impressive, with large open spaces, a tennis court, and areas for studying, research, and relaxation. It also has the Highmark Center for Health, Wellness, and Athletics, a modern wellness center.

Several restaurants on the Carnegie Mellon University campus offer a variety of foods. One of these is the Au Bon Pain Café bakery at Cohon Center. According to the university’s website, all the recipes are “uniquely crafted,” providing students with a range of delicious options.

Katie’s daughter, Suri, will have access to a variety of food and drink options on campus, including smoothies, sodas, cappuccinos, hot or iced coffee and teas, espresso drinks, pasta, soup, and croissants. She can also choose from a customized made-to-order breakfast or lunch sandwich or salad, or grab a pre-made salad, sandwich, wrap, yogurt parfait, fresh fruit, or snack.
