Stevie Nicks made the dreams of bookish girlies come true!
The “Edge of Seventeen” singer’s likeness as been thought to be emulated in the titular character from “Daisy Jones and the Six,” the bestselling 2019 novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid. The BookTok sensation tells the story of one band’s rise and fall in the 1970’s through ‘interviews’ conducted with the band decades later. The novel was adapted earlier this year for Amazon Prime, helping bring Daisy and her bandmates to life!
Riley Keough brought Daisy to life, along with actor Sam Claflin and musician Suki Waterhouse. Claflin and Waterhouse’s characters bore a resemblance to Nicks’ close confidents during her years in Fleetwood Mac. Fleetwood Mac has been thought to serve as inspiration for The Six.
Nicks took to her Instagram on Tuesday afternoon not only to reveal she has seen the show which premiered in March, but also gave it her seal of approval!
Nicks Often Turns To Instagram To Share Her Heart
Nicks has been known to connect with her fans via Instagram, often penning letters for her followers. She commemorated the passing of her longtime friend and bandmate Christine McVie last year, and most recently addressed the wildfires in Hawaii.
In her letter dedicated to McVie, who had passed away after having a stroke shortly after being diagnosed with cancer, Nicks wrote, “I didn’t even know she was ill,” after learning of McVie’s sickness. “I wanted to be in London; I wanted to get to London- but we were told to wait. So since Saturday, one song has been swirling around in my head, over and over and over. I thought I might possibly get to sing it to her, and so I am singing it to her now…” Nicks detailed. She goes on to reveal the special song was “Hallelujah” by HAIM, from their latest album.
Nicks Would Go On To Mention McVie In Her Tribute To ‘Daisy Jones & The Six’
Posting a photo of the cast on stage, Nicks expressed her reaction to the show.
“Just finished watching Daisy Jones + The 6 for the second time,” the rocker wrote. “In the beginning, it wasn’t really my story, but Riley seamlessly, soon became my story,” Nicks continued.
“It brought back old memories that made me feel like a ghost watching my own story,” the “Stand Back” singer detailed. “It was very emotional for me. I just wish Christine could have seen it. She would have loved it.”
Nicks concluded her tribute by revealing she has hope for the series to “continue.”
Many involved with the show’s production expressed their gratitude to the Fleetwood Mac star in the comment section, including Camila Morrone and Keough, herself. Morrone plays the wife of Claflin’s Billy Dunne, the unofficial ‘Lindsey’ to Daisy’s ‘Stevie.’ The duo both commented their thanks with emojis, with Keough commenting her elation, “?????????????,” and Morrone leaving her love with heart emojis!
Reese Witherspoon, whose production company Hello Sunshine is at the helm of the series, wrote, “Oh my stars , Stevie !! ?This means the world to the whole @daisyjonesandthesix team! Thank YOU for cutting the path!”
“If Stevie Nicks says to continue Daisy Jones & The Six, there is no choice BUT to continue Daisy Jones & The Six ?,” a fan proclaimed.
“Imagine getting Stevie Nicks’s approval!! ?? so sad Christine isn’t here to watch it ??,” another follower wrote.
“Daisy Hugging Karen at her keyboard was the perfect nod to your friendship ?????? instant tears to my eyes!,” a follower shared.
“Absolutely loved this book and show, just because of how much it reminded me of you and Fleetwood Mac. The music is just magical??,” a fan wrote.
“Oh my gosh if you all did a duet together I think everyone’s hearts would soar into new dimensions ???,” a fan suggested!
“I loved it!! FM being the inspiration is what drew me in as a huge fan of you and FM. But the story and acting and Riley’s performance was just incredible ? wondered if you or anyone in band watched it. Very cool,” another fan commented.
