Stevie Nicks has watched ‘Daisy Jones & the Six’ twice and says the series “brought back memories that made me feel like a ghost watching my own story.”
For Stevie Nicks, the story of Daisy Jones and the Six hit very close to home.
The ‘Edge of Seventeen’ singer, 75, revealed she’s been streaming the Prime Video series based on the book, which is loosely inspired by her own band, Fleetwood Mac, twice.
‘Just finished watching [Daisy Jones & the Six] for the 2nd time,” Nicks wrote on Instagram on Tuesday alongside a photo of the series’ titular band performing on stage.

“It brought back memories that made me feel like a ghost watching my own story,” she continued. “It was very emotional for me.”

The “Landslide” singer added that she wished her late bandmate and longtime friend, Christine McVie, was still alive to watch Daisy Jones.
“Wish Christine could have seen it,” she wrote, adding that “she would have loved it.”
After McVie’s death in November, Nicks honored the legendary keyboardist with a handwritten note, which she signed: “See you on the other side, my love. Don’t forget me.”

Riley Keough as Nicks-inspired singer Daisy Jones in series ‘Daisy Jones & the Six.’
The Fleetwood Mac-inspired band consists of singers Daisy Jones (Keough) and Billy Dunne (Sam Claflin), keyboardist Karen Sirko (Suki Waterhouse), guitarist Graham Dunne (Will Harrison), drummer Warren Rojas (Sebastian Chacon) and bassist Eddie Roundtree ( Josh Whitehouse). Morrone plays Billy’s wife, Camila Dunne.
And while the 10-episode series, which premiered in March, is far from non-fiction, it wouldn’t exist without Nicks and her infamous on-again-off-again romance with Fleetwood Mac bandmate Lindsey Buckingham.

The Daisy Jones author wrote: “…when I decided I wanted to write a book about rock ‘n’ roll, I kept coming back to that moment when Lindsey saw Stevie sing ‘Landslide’. How it looked like two people in love. And yet we will never really know what lived between them.
“I wanted to write a story about that, about how the lines between real life and performance can blur, about how singing about old wounds can keep them fresh.”
