To mark the re-release of \u2018Buckingham Nicks\u2019, Stevie Nicks<\/a> has shared an unearthed letter sent to her parents before the peak of her fame.<\/p>\n

The singer-songwriter shared the handwritten note with fans on Instagram on Monday (September 22) following the recent reissue of the 1973 record<\/a>, saying: \u201cI wanted to share this letter I wrote to my family while Lindsey<\/a> and I were making \u2018Buckingham Nicks\u2019. My mom saved it and it\u2019s been in a drawer for over 50 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the letter, penned on stationery from California\u2019s Sound City Studios, Nicks began her letter by joking about \u201cgetting very tired of sitting around listening to 12 hours of music per day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Addressing her mother, father, and brother Chris, she said: \u201cI know it will pay off in the end,\u201d adding that when she one day was sitting in her \u201csmall but luxurious Beverly Hills home\u201d, it would \u201call be worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n

After checking her family were doing OK, she moved onto her imminent 25th birthday, declaring they \u201cshould set aside the entire month of May to celebrate the fact that I am now 1 quarter of a century old,\u201d and playfully called it a landmark milestone that warranted a \u201cgala celebration.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then returning to how the recording process was going, she told her family: \u201cI certainly do miss you all, and wish you could be here to hear some of this stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n

Addressing her father and Chris, she noted that \u201crock and roll tune\u201d \u2018Don\u2019t Let Me Down Again\u2019 \u2013 with \u201cthe fancy guitar work\u201d they both liked \u2013 was \u201calmost finished\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cLindsey may go down in history as one of \u201cgreats\u201d in guitar playing,\u201d she insisted. \u201cIt really is quite amazing.\u201d Rounding off, she asked them to \u201chold good thoughts about this thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the initial release of \u2018Buckingham Nicks\u2019 wasn\u2019t a great commercial success, it was the precursor to Mick Fleetwood<\/a> asking the then couple to join Fleetwood Mac.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Buckingham Nicks\u2019 reissue will seemingly be the closest fans will get to a Fleetwood Mac reunion, given Nicks has said that\u00a0without the late Christine McVie, \u201cthere is no chance of putting Fleetwood Mac back together.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

However,\u00a0Mick Fleetwood\u00a0and\u00a0Lindsey Buckingham have teamed up with Miley Cyrus<\/a> on her new single \u2018Secrets\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere,\u00a0Stevie Nicks has said she\u2019s working on a new album, saying it was made up of \u201creal stories, memories of mine, of fantastic men\u201d.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"To mark the re-release of \u2018Buckingham Nicks\u2019, Stevie Nicks has shared an unearthed letter sent to her parents…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":33840,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[146,85,46,409],"class_list":["post-33839","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33839","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33839"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33839\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33840"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33839"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33839"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33839"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
