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.
Palm Readers Are Freaking Out! What Does That ‘M’ Mean for You?
Have you ever looked at your palms and wondered what all those lines mean?
If you ask a palm reader, they will tell you that each line has its own special meaning. If you have lines that connect to form the letter M, you are part of a small group of less than 2% of people, including famous names like Meghan Markle, Hillary Clinton, and Robert De Niro. These individuals are believed to have unique qualities that set them apart.
Keep reading to find out what this M shape means on your palm!
Like fingerprints, the lines on your palms are unique to you. No one else has the same patterns. These lines are thought to give hints about your personality and potential life experiences.
Palmistry is an ancient practice where people interpret the lines, shapes, and features of hands, especially the palms. It is considered more of an art than a science. The lines do not predict the future, but they can provide insights into the quality of your life.
Here are the major lines and what they mean:
– **Heart Line:** This line shows your emotional health and relationships. Its shape can reveal how you feel about love and intimacy.
– **Head Line:** This line represents your thinking and decision-making. The length and curve can show whether you are more analytical or creative.
– **Life Line:** Many people think this line shows how long you will live, but it actually reflects your vitality and life experiences. It curves around the base of your thumb.
– **Fate Line:** This line indicates your life path, career, and destiny. A strong fate line may mean you have a clear purpose, while a faint or missing line might suggest you are flexible in your life choices.
– **Sun Line:** This line is linked to fame, creativity, and success. A clear sun line can suggest you will gain recognition for your talents.
If the heart and head lines come together to form an M shape, palm readers believe it shows that you are very gifted and special.
In palmistry, an M shape on your palm shows that you have special intuition, insight, and the potential to be a leader.
This marking is also called the Simian line. It is seen as a sign of a strong personality and suggests that a person can overcome challenges with determination.
People with an M shape tend to be good judges of character, like human lie detectors who can easily spot someone who is being dishonest.
Only 1 to 2% of the population has this unique marking on their palms.
Here’s what it means if you have the Simian line on your hand:
– **Intuition and Insight:** People with an M shape are believed to have strong intuitive abilities. They may be good at reading situations and understanding people.
– **Leadership Qualities:** This marking can suggest that someone has a natural ability to lead and inspire others.
– **Balanced Personality:** It might indicate a balance between intellect (head line) and emotions (heart line). This balance allows for thoughtful decision-making.
– **Potential for Success:** Many palmists believe that having an M shape is a sign of potential success in different areas of life, including careers and relationships.
It’s also important to note that the M shape should appear on your non-dominant hand, which is the hand you don’t use for tasks like writing. For right-handed people, this means the lines on your left hand can indicate positive traits and gifts. If the lines appear on your dominant hand, it may not have the same meaning.
Gary Markwick, a palm reader, explained that people with Simian lines are “quite highly sensitive.” He added, “They’re very focused and determined to get what they want. But sometimes they can have tunnel vision, not noticing what is happening around them or who is nearby.”
Next, speaking about Meghan Markle, who has an M shape on both of her hands, Markwick said, “Some people just have a touch of that line, but Meghan has a Simian line on each hand…so it’s a double whammy. She could do great things.”
The Duchess of Sussex has many achievements. She is an actor, an author, and an advocate for social justice. She also co-founded Archewell with her husband, Prince Harry.
