NOT “Rumors” - Fleetwood Mac’s STEVIE NICKS confirms cocaine-aspirin combo left her with a hole in the head – literally.
While Stevie’s new LP 24 Karat Gold is a comp of old demos written during the 1980s one is a self-portrait visa-a-vis an avatar for her cocaine fueled heyday.
Stevie told Out mag that Mabel Normand” was inspired by her battle with drugs, penning the eponymous ditty in 985 after watching a documentary about the 1920s silent screen movie vamp.
Like Nicks, she was addicted to cocaine.
“In 1985, I was dancing at the edge of danger myself, just like she was. I was just doing so much coke. And it already backfired on me completely,” Nicks told the mag.
