Nicks moved to LA with Buckingham to join Fleetwood Mac in 1974 - establishing a new line-up that remains the line-up of today - apart from Christine McVie who quit in 1988 [1998] but recently rejoined the band on stage at London’s O2.

"Chris was a tough girl but she never really told us just how afraid she was of flying,” says Nicks.

"She'd started having panic attacks about it. We did the Grammys and then she turned to me and said, 'I can't do this any more, I'm quitting.' I said, 'You're leaving me? Abandoning me?' "She goes, 'I'm sorry, honey, I just can't do it.' So she went home, sold her beautiful house in Los Angeles, her piano, her truck, and she was gone in three weeks.

"We never saw her again until we played Earls Court in London in 2004. You just have to respect her wishes but we’ll always be close. We’ll always be friends though it's been very hard to try Christine's songs in rehearsals. Lindsey and I have tried singing some in harmony but we were just disappointed with it.

"Christine just can't be replaced."
