Gold Dust Woman gives “the gold standard of rock biographers” his ideal topic: Stevie Nicks. Her work and life are equally sexy and interesting, and Stephen Davis delves deeply into each, unearthing fresh details from new, intimate interviews and interpreting them to present a rich new portrait of the star. Just as Nicks (and Lindsey Buckingham) gave Fleetwood Mac the “shot of adrenaline” they needed to become real rock stars - according to Christine McVie - Gold Dust Woman is vibrant with stories and with a life lived large and hard:

- How Nicks and Buckingham were asked to join Fleetwood Mac and how they turned the band into stars
- The affairs that informed Nicks’ greatest songs
- Her relationships with the Eagles’ Don Henley and Joe Walsh, and with Mick Fleetwood himself
- Why Nicks married her best friend’s widower
- Her dependency on cocaine, drinking, and pot, but how it was a decade-long addiction to Klonopin that almost killed her
- Nicks’ successful solo career that has her still performing in venues like Madison Square Garden
- The cult of Nicks and its extension to chart-toppers like Taylor Swift and the Dixie Chicks

This book contains all you ever wanted to know about Fleetwood Mac’s mesmerizing frontwoman.
