She was born on May 26, 1948 in Phoenix, Arizona and turns 73 today. Nicks first met her future musical and romantic partner, Lindsey Buckingham, during her senior year in high school, and both became one of Rock’s most famous couples, together, they lived all the 1970’s Rock Star’s excesses, and was a one of the catalysts for Nick’s infamous drug abuse. Reportedly, she got to a point where she had to snort cocaine through her anus due to having the nose too damaged. Her drug use allegedly cost her a large part of her fortune, and lead her to sell houses and properties that she owned. Her professional music career started back in the 1960’s, when in 1967 she joined Buckingham’s Psychedelic Rock band Fritz. The band became popular as a live act when it opened for both Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin from 1968 until 1971. In 1973, after disbanding Fritz, the pair released the album “Buckingham Nicks” and soon after, both were recruited to join British band Fleetwood Mac.
