Stevie Nicks Reveals Pre-Fame Letter She Wrote Predicting Her Legacy

Following the reissue of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks‘ 1973 album, Buckingham Nicks, last week, Nicks shared some insight into her delightful notions while recording the LP more than five decades ago.

Taking to Instagram on Monday evening, Nicks posted images of the penned letter alongside the caption, “I wanted to share this letter I wrote to my family while Lindsey and I were making Buckingham Nicks. My mom saved it and it’s been in a drawer for over 50 years.”

Addressed to her mother, father, and brother Chris, Nicks writes to them from the “famous” Sound City Recording Studio in Los Angeles. “I am getting very tired of sitting around listening to 12 hours of music per day,” she begins. “I know it will pay off in the end, and when I am sitting in my small but luxurious Beverly Hills home overlooking my small but tasteful pool that is totally secluded, where I can sun in the nude and tan my entire fat body while waiting for my plastic surgery leg lift – it will all be worth it.”

After assuring everything is “peach-y,” she playfully teases that she’s sure “dad is already beautifully tan and lythe – making those gorgeous blue grey eyes even more sparkling than they usually are,” adding, “sickening that he looks better than I do at 47(?) and I’m only 25. (Give me a break, Dad!).” Nicks segues to her upcoming 25th birthday, declaring that the family “should set aside the entire month of May to celebrate the fact that I am now 1 quarter of a century old,” calling it a “landmark” that warrants a “gala celebration.”

After leaving the party planning to her parents and brother, she quips, “presents will be accepted any time after the first of May – no C.O.D’s please.”
