What makes Stevie Nicks “The Queen of Rock and Roll”? For more than four decades, singer-songwriter Stevie Nicks has captivated audiences around the world with her unforgettable music — bewitching classics like “Landslide,” “Rhiannon,” and “Edge of Seventeen.” One of the most prolific songwriters of her generation, Stevie has the distinction of having enormous commercial and critical success with both the legendary rock band Fleetwood Mac and her solo career, collectively selling more than 150 million albums worldwide. She has earned multiple Grammy Award nominations and received the Best Album award for Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours (1977). In 1998, Stevie was inducted into the prestigious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Fleetwood Mac, and for a second time in 2019 for her solo work — presently, the only woman to be inducted twice.
Stevie continues to attract new audiences by touring and releasing new music. She has collaborated with some of the biggest names in music, such as Miley Cyrus, Maroon 5, and Lana Del Rey, among many others. She has been an inspiration for countless musicians and singer-songwriters — such as Adele, Tori Amos, Vanessa Carlton, Sheryl Crow, Dixie Chicks, Lady A, Lorde, Courtney Love, Maroon 5, Sarah McLachlan, Smashing Pumpkins, Harry Styles, and others.
Her groundbreaking accomplishments have helped to pave the way for other female singer-songwriters to thrive in the music industry.
