Stevie Nicks had never even heard of “stereophony”

No, Stevie Nicks haven’t seen StereophonicDavid Adjmi’s hit Broadway play about a fictional (but very Mac-like) 70s band recording what would become his (very Rumors-like) masterpiece album.

In fact, the singer who shared vocals with her (and decades of triumphs and tribulations) Fleetwood Mac bandmates Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie had never even heard of the Broadway hit.

In the new Rolling Stone interview about her latest song “The Lighthouse” (which she performed on Saturday Night Live earlier this month – just four blocks from home StereophonicNicks was asked if she had seen the play, which, among other storylines, featured the breakdown of a relationship between a singer who looked like Stevie and a guitarist who looked like Lindsay.

Here’s the exchange:

Rolling Stone: Have you seen the play “Stereophonic”?
Nicky: What is it?
Rolling Stone: It’s a wildly successful Broadway play about a band on the cusp of stardom recording their new album in Sausalito. So basically it’s… about you… and Fleetwood Mac.
Nicky: Really?
Rolling Stone: Yes.
Nicky: How could I have come this far without knowing about it?

For the record, Deadline reports that Nicks isn’t the only one among Mac’s exes who hasn’t seen the show. Christina McVie, of course, died two years ago, so she couldn’t see the fictional account of her doomed marriage to bassist John McVie, but her ex-husband, as well as Buckingham and drummer Mick Fleetwood, are very much alive. . None of them walked into the Golden Theater to see the Tony Award-winning play.

Nyx says she saw it Daisy Jones and the sixTV adaptation of a band similar to Mac, and she loved it. “Riley (Keough) is not like me,” Nicks says in an interview. “She is much faster than me. I couldn’t be as edgy as she was in Fleetwood Mac. Christina and I couldn’t do this because we were peacemakers… But as for her character, it was very similar to me. And I immediately wanted to call her and meet her, and I did.”

Stereophonic is on Broadway until January 12th, so there’s still time…

One person associated with Rumors who knows for sure Stereophonic Ken Caillat, a sound engineer turned music producer who wrote a 2012 memoir (with Stephen Stiefel) entitled Starting rumors. Earlier this month, Caillat filed a lawsuit against Adjmi and the show’s producers, claiming parts of his memoir were used without permission.

Adjmi constantly emphasized that his fiction was a product of the imagination, and that he drew inspiration from the stories of various groups. In an article in the New Yorker last month, he elaborated on this issue: “When I write Stereophonic I used a variety of sources, including autobiographical details from my own life, to create a deeply personal piece of fiction. Any similarity to Ken Caillat’s excellent book is unintentional.”
