THE SINGER MOVED FROM THE RITZ CARLTON TO REGENT HOTEL

Stevie Nicks took off again
Early Tuesday Fleetwood Mac traveled from Stuttgart to Berlin. The band checked into the Ritz Carlton on Potsdamer Platz one. A classy home that has hosted U.S. presidents, heads and other important winning, celebrities and many widely traveled and experienced personalities. Stevie Nicks (65), the beautiful Rimes voice of the band, apparently not classy enough. The musician rushed off again and moved to Regent Hotel am Gendarmenmarkt. The relationships in the band were always difficult. Maybe did not want to sit on each other so closely with the other nicks.

THE STEVIE NICKS WITCH RUMOR IS BACK, THANKS TO 'AMERICAN HORROR STORY: COVEN'

By Kelsea Stahler

On Wednesday night, a rumor that plagued Stevie Nicks in the 1980s returned. Misty Day (Lily Rabe), one witch of many on American Horror Story: Coven, states matter of factly that of course, Nicks is a famous witch and that one of the Fleetwood Mac songs she wrote, "Rhiannon," is her witchy anthem. This would be a funny little quirk, like watching Michael Jackson jokingly play himself as an alien in Men in Black II, if Nicks hadn't spent a great deal of the '80s trying to squash this very real rumor, only to see it trotted back out for the purposes of a campy horror TV show. As it turns out, Nicks gave Ryan Murphy permission to use her. But it's important for the younger folks out there (you know, the ones who, like Zoe, only know Nicks as that mentor from American Idol), Stevie is not actually a witch or a practicing Wiccan, however great her aesthetic may be for AHS' purposes.

STEVIE NICKS' WITCH RUMORS FLY AGAIN IN LAST NIGHTS AMERICAN HORROR STORY: COVEN EPISODE

By Lori Rackl

Rumors about Stevie Nicks being a witch have hounded the singer-songwriter for years, so it’s little surprise the writers of “American Horror Story: Coven” have woven the long-time Fleetwood Mac songstress into this season’s storyline.

In Wednesday night’s episode, “Rhiannon” plays in the background in Misty’s cabin, where Zoe (Taissa Farmiga) has brought her Frankenstein of a boyfriend, Kyle (Evan Peters).

“Who sings this?” Zoe asks Misty.

“Who sings it?” Misty asks with the incredulity adults use on children oblivious to pop culture facts that pre-date them.

“Fleetwood Mac,” Misty continues, looking at a photo of the bewitching singer. “Stevie Nicks is my hero.”

“That’s Stevie Nicks from ‘American Idol?’” Zoe asks. (I love the humor so far this season.)

“Stevie Nicks. The White Witch. The only witch before you I’ve ever known,” Misty says.

“She’s an actual witch?” asks Zoe.

“Listen to the lyrics,” Misty says wistfully. “This song was her anthem.”

'American Horror Story': Ryan Murphy talks the latest episode 'Boy Parts' and Stevie Nicks' influence on 'Coven'

Entertainment Weekly

The second episode of Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk’s American Horror Story: Coven was chock-full of plot developments, including the resurrection of seemingly dead Misty (Lily Rabe) and Kyle (Evan Peters) and the reveal that modern-day Marie Laveau (Angela Bassett) has kept alive her minotaur lover! EW talked to Murphy about all the twists and turns as well as a preview of next week’s AHS: Coven.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY:  I love that Misty is a big Stevie Nicks groupie.

RYAN MURPHY: She is obsessed with Stevie Nicks because I am obsessed with Stevie Nicks.

You actually asked Stevie to use her music on the show, right?

Yeah, the whole thing started with the fact that when I was growing up, I was always obsessed with those Stevie Nicks songs like “Riannon” and “Gypsy.” And I remember reading an article where Courtney Love called Stevie Nicks the “white witch” and Grace Slick the “dark witch.” And I have a good relationship with Stevie because of Glee. She is one of the few artists that have come to hang out. She had been writing Lea [Michele] and I regularly since the Cory [Monteith] situation, because she really loved Cory [who passed away in July]. So she’s just a wonderful, wonderful person.

When we got to this witch idea, I thought, if you’re Misty and you have grown up alone and you don’t know any other witches, there’s one witch you probably would know and that’s Stevie Nicks. So I called Stevie Nicks and first I said, “I want to use you in the show.” But she was very resistant because from the beginning of her career people who are in the Wiccan community had given her a hard time thinking she was a witch and she got a lot of scary fan letters. She didn’t like the darkness of that, and I explained to her the part and she’s like, “Aw f—, let’s just do it. OK, I love it.” She’s not a witch, but she has an attraction to those mystical creatures because they’re fun to write about. So she gave me the rights to her music and she and Lindsey Buckingham are working on a special sort of redo of a song they did about a witch.

In the multi-purpose hall at the Ostbahnhof Fleetwood Mac played on Wednesday its greatest successes. Singer Stevie Nicks inspired by a tasteful selection of shawls and a chimney sweep costume.

Oldies but Goldies: That was again the theme as the Anglo-Californian soft rock-meets-blues group Fleetwood Mac completed on Wednesday in the multipurpose room at the Ostbahnhof for the third time in ten years a reunion concert for three hours to play Mick Fleetwood , John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks through their repertoire, with emphasis, as always, was on the three albums "Fleetwood Mac", "Rumours" and "Tusk" from the second half of the seventies.

Fleetwood Mac Live in Berlin: 

More than just pop nostalgia

(google translated)
Visibly aged, graying in honor, but on stage is still an event: Fleetwood Mac, the legendary band around singer Stevie Nicks, an energetic show has in their third concert in Germany on Wednesday evening delivered in Berlin. "Go Your Own Way" or "Do not Stop" unforgettable hits from the classic album "Rumours" (1977), formed the backbone of the two and a half hour concert in the nearly sold-out O2 World Ostbahnhof. But with newer songs Founded in 1967, the British-American quartet also proved that Fleetwood Mac are not only neat pop nostalgia. Besides frontwoman Nicks founding member Mick Fleetwood were on drums, bassist John McVie and guitarist Lindsey Buckingham on stage.

REVIEW: Fleetwood Mac rattle again down her biography
In the Berlin O2 World Fleetwood Mac play only twelve evocative songs and bring their fans to sing along. Then Stevie Nicks remembers that they necessarily even have to tell the band's history.

American Horror Story’s Lily Rabe on the Stevie Nicks Shoutout and Her Own Obsession With Her

Tonights episode of American Horror Story: Coven - the second so far this season paid off substantially in the Fleetwood Mac dept.  As reported, eight songs are to be used this season and tonight the show kicked off with Stevie's "Edge of Seventeen" during a fairly gruesome scene where Misty Day brings a couple of gators back to life and they mangle two poachers.  Misty later on professes her love of Stevie Nicks to Zoe all the while Fleetwood Mac's "Rhiannon" is playing in the background telling Zoe about the song saying "this was her anthem" and that Stevie is the "white witch" and her hero... The show is a hoot, it's all pretty camp, sometimes gross, but cool, fun and especially fun to watch the actors like Jessica Lange, Angela Bassett and Kathy Bates. 

As a result, both Stevie, Fleetwood Mac and Edge of Seventeen were trending on Twitter in the USA for a short while tonight. 

Lily Rabe on the Stevie Nicks Shoutout and Her Own Obsession With the Singer

By Denise Martin

Vulture.com

After being burned alive in last week’s premiere of American Horror Story, Misty Day returned tonight as the hippie witch with the power to bring back the dead. She also excels at keeping her neighboring alligators fed. But what she really loves is Stevie Nicks. (I think we all died a little when young Zoe asked if Stevie was the winner of American Idol, yes?) With FrankenKyle left in the care of mystical Misty, one can only wonder: Will he dig “Rhiannon” as much as Misty? Vulture spoke with the wonderful, if especially spoiler-averse, Lily Rabe about all things Stevie and Misty’s mysterious life in the New Orleans swamp.

What did Ryan Murphy tell you about Misty before you started shooting?

I knew Misty would be burned at the stake in the first episode and that I’d immediately be back. But the big thing he told me was that she is obsessed with Stevie Nicks. That’s been a major part of figuring her out, post burning. The wardrobe, the hair, it’s all very Stevie-centric.

How does one approach playing someone with a Stevie Nicks obsession?
