Stevie Nicks arrives at 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2'
Los Angeles premiere at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live
The Insider
As the final installment of The Twilight Saga nears its release, fans are elated to see the new film yet sad to see the franchise end. Fleetwood Mac vocalist and solo artist Stevie Nicks is one of those diehard fans.
While she has become one of rock 'n' roll's most iconic voices in her many years, Nicks said that she had decided that she wasn't going to put out any more new music until she found inspiration in a seemingly unlikely place--New Moon.
Feeling stirred to create new music once again, Nicks then recorded "Moonlight (A Vampire's Dream)," for which she filmed a Twilight-esque music video and credited the film as her source of inspiration.
The song then convinced Nicks to continue recording music, which led her to make the tall claim that the film changed her life.
"When I finished the song, I got up and said to my assistant, 'I'm ready to do a record now,' and I hadn't done a record in ten years, so this story changed my life," she said. "Bella and Edward, Robert and Kristen, they changed my life and made me decide to make another record 'cause I was never going to make another record."
The album that resulted in 2011 was In Your Dreams, which reached as high as No. 3 on U.S. rock charts. Owing the creation of her album to the film franchise, Nicks admitted to being upset that it was coming to an end.
"It's been a three-year journey for me...since 'New Moon' and I'm a little sick at heart," the 64-year-old singer-songwriter said. "It's very bittersweet for me. I've already written a page of a poem from the first 'Breaking Dawn' movie, so I'm already started."

The Fleetwood Mac musician said at the Los Angeles premiere of Breaking Dawn - Part 2 that she finds Stephenie Meyer's novels to be "kind of timeless".
Nicks said when asked how she felt about the end of the movie series: "It's bittersweet... because I really would be happier if it was not ending. I wish it could go on forever. I think that [Stephenie] is probably... god knows how long it took her to write this. And it's been five years!
"It's a huge love story... I was just saying to the last [journalist], it's like Wuthering Heights, it's that kind of story... it's like Jane Eyre... it's a totally timeless kind of story that we can relate to."
Nicks also commented on the fervent fan reception for the movie's stars at the premiere, saying: "Well, it must be pretty fantastic and at the same time disturbing... I'm used to it, but I don't think you ever get 'used' to it. It's wonderful, and I love it, but at the same time it's kind of scary.
"If you're one of the chosen few that has an audience that loves you so much, it's a beautiful thing, and they will carry it with them for the rest of their lives."

I've never seen her wear anything where she shows her stomach! Good for her!! She is rocking it out with all those youngsters!! Gotta love her!!
ReplyDeleteShe looks beautiful !!!!
ReplyDeleteWell well...very classy new Margie Kent design I'm sure...and will you look at the cleavage and LACE down there...very nice feminine, stylish, rocking and sexy!!!!
ReplyDeleteMomma Stevie: Queen Stevie: Icon Stevie: Fashionista Stevie
Wow she is really looking terrific!! I'm so happy for her!! She seems to really be enjoying her life, and it's been wonderful to follow all the exposure she's been getting. Loving it.
ReplyDeleteFINALLY new clothes!!! The only thing I would change is the boot color. Red or burgundy boots would have really made the rest of the outfit pop. And you KNOW she has boots in 50 different colors.
ReplyDeleteI love the new longer skirt, it looks wonderful. I hope she wears this kind of look next year on tour with Fleetwood Mac. But I really don't like her in sunglasses all that much. Why cover up her still beautiful face?
ReplyDeleteI know Stevie has glasses and needs them to read/write/drive. Perhaps her sight isn't the best these days and her sunglasses are prescription. They're stylish and serve a purpose. She's wearing them a lot nowadays...
ReplyDeleteThen again maybe she just loves them. She does look good in them/anything she wears!
I am going to be VERY unpopular now. But needs to be said as a longtime fan of Mac and Stevie Nicks. "Twilight" changed her life? really????
ReplyDeleteA teenage love story set to vampires and werewolves?
Ok, I know young girls REALLY love it and all, but come on, Stevie.
At least I can respect that Stevie is a shrewd business woman and tying herself to one of the biggest box office hits (whether its good or bad in the critics opinions) is a GREAT CAREER MOVE at the "twilight' of her solo career.
It did change her life in the fact that had she not seen the New Moon movie, she wouldn't have been inspired to write the song that lead to the making of the awesome In Your Dreams album, that lead to the last two years of touring and the ultimate prize for fans, the documentary... I'd say that's life changing.
ReplyDeleteStevie is a poet and an artist, for her to compare Twilight to the great classics like Jane Eyre or Wuthering Heights? I think she found a way to hitch a ride on a fad.
ReplyDeleteDress looks great! Is it one of Margi Kents? Might as well be Armani!
