Stevie Nicks Gushes Over ‘Daisy Jones & The Six’s Ability To Capture Her Relationship With Lindsey Buckingham: “It Was So Real And It Was So Right On”

Daisy Jones & The Six has Stevie Nicks‘ stamp of approval. According to the Fleetwood Mac frontwoman, the series — which is loosely based on her complicated relationship with guitarist Lindsey Buckingham — was “so real” and “so right on.”

Based on Taylor Jenkins Reid’s novel of the same name, the Prime Video show follows the rise of a ’70s rock band and the fall when its two lead singers catch feelings for one another. When Nicks watched it earlier this year, she wrote that it stirred up memories that made her “feel like a ghost watching my own story.”

While speaking to Vulture in an interview published this morning, Nicks revealed it was “simple” for her to compare Daisy’s (Riley Keough) and Billy’s (Sam Claflin) experience to her own time with Buckingham.

“It was the kind of snappy sarcasm between Daisy and Billy, who in my mind was like me and Lindsey,” she said. “It was the back-and-forth between the two of them. It was so good. It was so real and it was really so right on.”

Nicks continued, “When two people capture the essence of something that reminds you of your life, it’s not like you go, ‘They look just like us,‘ or, ‘They dress just like us,’  It’s something else. It’s a certain feeling that they got when they would look at each other after being in an argument and then they’d start to sing. It would blow your mind.”

According to the musician, watching the series reminded her why the iconic band continued to make music for so long.

“I would be watching and be like, ‘Well, there you go. That’s exactly why we did it. That’s exactly why Fleetwood Mac stayed together for 50 years,'” she said. “It was all for the music. It was all just to keep the music going, and the show got it.”

Nicks even revealed her favorite song from the show, before saying would have signed the band in another life where there wasn’t already a Fleetwood Mac.

“My favorite is the one that goes, ‘We could make a good thing bad,'” she explained, referring to “Honeycomb.” “That was my favorite. It’s a really good song.”

The singer added, “If it was another time, another day, and there had never been a Fleetwood Mac and I had watched that and I was a record A&R person, I would’ve said, ‘We need to call them now. We need to sign them now.‘ I really felt that. Considering that it seems like neither of them sang much before this, they did an amazing job.”

Daisy Jones & The Six is currently streaming on Prime Video.
