Stevie Nicks shared her thoughts on Daisy Jones & The Six after watching for the second time
In March this year, the TV adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid's debut novel, Daisy Jones & The Six aired for the first time. Starring major names like Riley Keough and Suki Waterhouse, the miniseries took a nostalgia-fuelled deep dive into 1970s LA to document the stratospheric rise and fall of a band whose sound defined an era. Of course, those who watched the show straight off the bat - and those who know anything about Fleetwood Mac - recognised that the show was loosely based on the iconic rock band's story.
For some context, Fleetwood Mac's blockbuster 1977 album Rumours literally did define the decade. Both for obvious artistic reasons and because they channelled all of their drama (break ups, press intrusions, relationship issues) into the 11-track album, which was coined by the band's drummer and co-founder, Mick Fleetwood as a "tremendous emotional sacrifice."
Because the similarities between the series and Fleetwood Mac were so apparent upon reading and watching Taylor Jenkins Reid's offering, many fans of the show eagerly awaited the response of the band - especially from Stevie Nicks, who Riley was clearly channelling in her role as Daisy. And almost five months later, Stevie has finally broken her silence, after revealing she's watched the show not once, but twice.
Taking to Twitter, the reigning Queen of Rock & Roll said: "Just finished watching @daisyjonesand6 for the 2nd time. In the beginning, it wasn't really my story, but Riley seamlessly, soon became my story," she shared.

It brought back memories that made me feel like a ghost watching my own story.
It was very emotional for me. I just wish Christine… pic.twitter.com/CmbexMFx6l— Stevie Nicks (@StevieNicks) August 15, 2023
"It brought back memories that made me feel like a ghost watching my own story," Stevie continued, before expressing how she found it so emotional due to Christine's - her "best friend in the whole world's" - recent passing. (The musician sadly died in November last year after battling a short illness.)
"I just wish Christine could have seen it. She would have loved it. Hopefully it will continue..."
