One Damn Night

- interviewer

= Stevie nicks

-Hi Stevie!

=Hello!

-How are you?

=I'm pretty good thanks.

-Can I ask you a question?

=Sure go ahead.

-You know, when I got to know you and Fleetwood Mac more and Lindsey,of course, I always was interested in one era, and no I'm not talking about the Rumours era.

=Well I wouldn't tell you even if you want I think that you're too young to know what happened there... haha.

-Haha,well no, I always wanted to know what happened in 1997, the Dance era.

=Well I'll tell you the story behind first.

-Ok!

=So, before The Dance you know that Lindsey left the band at 1987.

-Yeah.

=So, I didn't see him until 1993 when we had this performance at Bill Clinton's Inaugural Ball, but I was on klonopin then and I wasn't myself so I'm not considering it as a "meeting".

-Ok.

=After this I got myself clear from this drug and in the end of 1996 Fleetwood Mac wanted to do another tour and well, I finally was great again, so we started to rehearse and me and Lindsey were on good terms again so we decided to try us again.

but not like at 1977, we didn't want that the press will know about it, because this was the reason why we broke up back then.

So he got himself a mistress, and we said that it was ok to be with others until we'll come to a final decision about our relationship.

But one night before a show, at the end of 1997 Lindsey came to my dressing room and said "I'm Sorry" and I asked him "for what you're sorry about?" and he said "I got her pregnant".

I was frozen, I didn't yell at him, but I was so disappointed and he knows that. I wasn't ever a little angry at him, just disappointed.

His timing was like, so bad! before a show! but I was so damn good at that show, you know, but when I needed to sing "Silver Springs" I broke and he as well.

After we finished the tour Kristen finally had Will and when I looked at him I knew that from that moment me and Lindsey will never be together again and with that realization all my anger and disappointment just faded away and my feelings for him disappeared, at least I thought so....

The days passed by and I released "Enchanted" and I did a really good tour, I was just so good, while I did that Lindsey had Lily and also married Kristen and became a real family man, and it was funny because we always thought that I'd be the one with the kids and family but I guess that destiny indeed rule ha?

Then I did "Trouble In Shangri-La" an then went on a tour and it was great. I didn't speak to Lindsey until 2002 when we did...

-"Say You Will".

=Exactly. We started to talk again and we were good. but again one night Lindsey had a really big argument with his wife and he came to me and I gave up, my feelings that I thought were gone actually were still alive and I regretted that night for all the time we worked on this album. Because I swore that I'll never do this with a married man, and Lindsey again, he was also married for 3 years then.

So we did Say You Will and a tour which was super fantastic and then we went each member with it's own separate way.

We did more 2 tours and Lindsey released more 3 albums and had Stella and I did release two albums.

Then in one damn night in 2016 when On With The Show was over and we did a party you know, we celebrated this because it was such a great tour, in my opinion our best one!

The party was over at midnight and everyone just went to their hotel suits, I stayed up, because you know, I'm a night owl, I was writing in my journal about all the things that happened in this tour when suddenly I heard a knock, around 2am I heard a knock.

- Sounds scary.

=It really was, but I thought it was Karen so I Opened and it was Lindsey, but not my Lindsey.

- What do you mean?

=He looked like a mess, so I could tell that he was drunk, but something inside of me screamed to let him in, so I did let him in.

He sat on the edge of the bad, I just looked at him, when he just started to cry, and I'm not talking on a light cry but on crying with like big tears and sobs, I've never seen him like this so I sat beside him and hugged him like 10 minutes until he finally got himself together and he looked at me, his eyes were red because all of the crying and then he said quietly "I'm sorry", I was afraid to ask him for what he was sorry about, because the last time I asked him this question he told me...

- That he got Kristen pregnant.

= That's right. But I asked him anyway "for what you're sorry about Lindsey?", then he answered "for letting you go".

-What did you do after he said that?

=I was frozen just like the last time. I closed my eyes, got up on my feet and went to the balcony, I needed air.

But not too long passed until I felt his hands on my waist, I let him and inhaled deeply cause' I didn't have enough power to say no.

I forgot about his wife his children, we just were in our world.

-So why did you say damn night, to me it sounds like a magical night.

=Yeah I know right?... but not even all the magical things are good... We stood there for what seems like forever, we didn't go much further, we just stayed there in the same pose until I finally got enough straight and turned around to him and said to him "I forgave you Lindsey, long time ago..".

-And that's it?

=No, after this I put him in bed, he was really exhausted, we lay there together, at the same bed but without any touching and stuff. I stayed up and wrote in my journal everything that just happened, before Lindsey fell asleep he said to me that he'll never let me go again, he promised that we'll be together and then he kissed my hand and fell asleep.

But guess what, the next day I woke up to an empty bed, apparently Lindsey took the earliest flight back to LA, back to his family without even saying goodbye.

Really after this I did the tour for 24 Karat Gold and he and the rest of the Mac didn't even wait for me to make another album, so hadn't spoken to one another 1 year and a half.

And when the MusiCares came I tried to send Lindsey some clues but he was going like: "Stevie are you ok?", so I gave up.

And it'll be a lie if I say that this was not one of the reasons I kicked him out of the band.

-Now he knows about that night?

=I don't really know but I don't think so.

-What? really? And don't you think that he should know about this night?

=He should have remembered this night.

-But you said that he was drunk.

=Still.

- Well don't you think that he has the right to know about this? It was one of the reasons to why he's not in Fleetwood Mac anymore.

=We'll see....
