Is it true about Stevie's dad.........

[greatdarkwing]

...I just came back from a 3-day trip to Orlando, and my Enchanted mailing list subjects said something about Stevie's dad being ill....Is this true?

[darklinensuit]

I haven't heard anything since the heart situation of years ago. The Nicksfix has posted nothing. I hope he's fine. If the story is true, no doubt it's been weighing on Stevie, poor thing.

If he is sick, then I wish him a speedy recovery. I have met him; he is a genuinely nice person.

[gypsysara]

Im not on the Enchanted list, but I hope if its true he feels better soon! Mr. Nicks is a kind hearted man!

[skcin]

...I assume it might be, the man is in his 80's. I have heard this from a few sources & rumour has it Chris Nicks confirms that their dad is very ill. Paula

I hope it's not true but if is, I wish him a speedy recovery and my thoughts are with the Nicks family.

Stevie and her family are in my thoughts. It must be really hard on her to have to go and tour and perform for all of us while worrying about her dad not to mention how difficult it must be on Barbara to have to go through this. May he make a speedy recovery and get well soon. Not that I want to see anyones concert cancelled but I hope that Stevie realizes that as her fans, we want her to take it easy and be allowed to spend time with her family in what must be an extroidinarily hard time. "Rumour" has it she's been flying to Phoenix after the past few shows in order to be with him. Lots of love to the Nicks family~~

Chris Nicks is a scam artist and a slimeball; I wouldn't believe anything he says. If he told me George W. Bush was the president, I'd take it with a grain of salt. He's loathsome.

However, if Jess Nicks is ill, I pray to god that he recovers. He's a kindhearted man and I wish him the best. I hope his family is okay. :)

I love how we can put aside grievances in order to come together for the common cause.

I also wish not to disclose WHAT he's sick with, all I know is it pretty much can be why Stevie was so down at the beginning of promotion, like on the AOL sessions interview. I was told not to say anything at all, so please don't ask me anything else on the situation (meaning don't personal msg me and ask). Sorry, but all I can do is confirm it.

I am not sure who you are or where you got your info from ... but it is definitely not true!!! Mr. Nicks is not on his death bed nor is he sick with any life treathening illiness!!! I have talked to Chris himself and he wants me to assure you that his father is in good health for a man in his 80s and is anxiously awaiting the AHI show here in Phoenix...

The fact that fans would come on here and start such a ludicrous rumor about a member of the Nicks family deeply disturbs them. It is "cruel ridiculous and untrue."

Also, Sorcerer386, if you were told this in secret why on earth would you take it upon yourself to post it on a message board and start such a terrible rumor? It only gets people in a frenzy and does no good.

If anyone has any serious concerns or well wishes I will forward them on to Chris Nicks... and I am NOT joking. This is a serious and disgusting matter.

do you know Chris? have you ever met him? have you ever said anything to him other than "hi i'm a big fan of your sister's?" he is one of the most humble gracious and kind men you could ever possibly hope to meet in your life.... i'm so terribly disgusted that you posted something about someone you don't know. and if you have ever met him and spoken with him.. and found that he was rude to you at all... there was probably a good reason! now think about that!!!

[FiercestCalmSea]

Wow:rolleyes:

[laurarox]

From what I was reading, some people had heard Mr. Nicks was ill at the moment and all of the Ledgies were wishing him well and a quick recovery. I didn't read any cruel and hateful rumours. If it isn't true than I'm sure we all just breathed a sigh of relief. Noone here wants him ill or Stevie worrying. Just sounds like some miscommunication to me. No need to get ugly.

First of all, I don't know who YOU are or whatever, but it's quite annoying that you singled ME out especially when I did NOT start this thread. I merely stated what I had heard from a HIGHLY credible source. If you look at the original beginning post to this thread, the rumor was started BEFORE we discussed it here...it seems to have been going through the Enchanted mailing list. I was told not to say anything at all, which is why I'm now going to delete that post of mine. But don't sit there and tell me I'm STARTING terrible rumors. True, I added to them, and I will take the heat for that, which again is why I'll delete my post. Plus, I don't see why it's a "disgusting" rumor...we're all posting out of concern for the Nicks family. Stevie is very VERY special to a lot of us here, and not to single myself out but ESPECIALLY to me, and I am only showing my concern for her. This post will also be deleted in a couple of days...I just wanted to explain a little. Please do not quote from this post so that, when I delete it (as well as my other), it'll go away.

It's a well-known fact that he's a creep; you obviously don't know him if you say he's such a wonderful man. He uses his status as Stevie's brother to sleep with her fans (and is so obvious about it), steal their money, and just about anything else you can think of. He's living off of his sister. He sexually harrasses people and gets away with it. He's also a crook who's cheated fans out of LOTS of money. I'm sure there are plenty of people on this board that know all about that schmuck. Now think about that.

[Smokin Joe]

First of all, I really beleive everyone's concern is real and from the heart. I am sure that is appreciated. What I really wanted to address is, the fact of this being a "disgusting' rumour. If you have ever had a loved one that was sick or has passed on from a lengthy illness, then you will understand why this is a rumour that should end right here and now. Stevie is in the public eye and if the rumour is true, so what. The last thing she would want is people like us debating her fathers illness. If it isn't true, then it is a "disgusting" rumour which really has no place in the public eye. As far as putting down a member of her family, well, that is up to you. If her father is really sick one would think some quiet support instead of attacking a family member would be in order. JMO

[Vianna]

Does anyone know whether there is any truth to this rumor? Any way to confirm it? Who on the Enchanted mailing list has access to this kind of information?

Because this is Stevie's family we need to be careful here-just my humble opinion.

[seeknpeace]

I have it on good order that it is not true.

The rumor was initially started by Barbara McLuin AKA Miss "Stevie Illusions" on the Stevie Chain mailing list, so I definitely took it with a grain of salt. :laugh:

She was at the show in Dallas. We saw her afterward.
In regards to Stevie's dad, we'll find out when he shows or doesn't show at the AHI benefit. If he doesn't then I think it's safe to say something's wrong. Until then, I'm hoping this is just a rumour, nothing more.

[Hawkeye]

does anyone know Stevie's dad actual age? I know Barbara is exactly 20 years older then Stevie. And I know her dad is considerably older then her mom. But i dodn't know if that means 5 years older, 10 years older:confused:

This rumour is NOT true. I don't know the Nick's family personally but I know people in the medical community here that know them and know Ted Deitrich the heart surgeon who started the Az Heart Inst. If Jess Nicks were seriously ill Dr. Deitrich would know about it.

He's not. He'll be there.

[bookie29]

It is at times like this that I hope Stevie really doesn't read these boards. It is one thing to show genuine concern about her father's health but to personally attack her brother is really low. Whether the info about Chris is true or not this has nothing to with the health of their father. I'm sure Stevie would be very hurt and upset if she read or heard about this.

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

Woah.... my gut told me to stay out of this thread and I should have listened!

If anyone is interested I met Chris Nicks briefly in Vegas and he seemed like a genuinely nice guy. Seems a tad unfair to attack someone who isn't around to defend themselves. I sure hope that Jessica Nicks doesn't browse boards like this to see what fans are saying about her Aunt only to discover this sort of thing being said about her father..... JMO

Ah, rumor, the catch-22 word. If it is a "true rumor," then it is true that it's a rumor and therefore false. If the rumor turns out to be true, or fact if you will, than it is no longer a rumor. So if it's true, it's not a rumor. But if it's a rumor, it's not true. Still, if it's a true rumor, well then, it's simply a rumor.

Capiche?

Wouldn't that be unethical for a Dr. to discuss his patients though?

I apologize for my statements about Chris Nicks, I should have said what I said in a better manner, like "Chris Nicks isn't a very good person."

But I think this thread should just die. It isn't exactly right for any of us to talk about Stevie's father and his health; it isn't our business.

You're right.:(

[seeknpeace]

Wow...don't know how I missed all the Chris Nicks bashing. Getting on the Ledge has been kinda hard recently and I have not been here a lot.

I know what ppl have to say about him, and I was not around when some of the problems hinted at happened, but, I feel inclined to say that he is a friend of mine too. He has always been very kind and generous with me and shown me a lot of respect. Before I met him, I had heard a lot of the rumours, so I won't comment to them, I can only say what I know personally. I just feel like I need to say that, not to incite anger or any comments, just to support a friend, like I would anyone else that I care about.:wavey: :wavey:

[DeeGeMe]

You're entitled to your opinion about Chris Nicks. And I'd hate to see this become a place where our opinions were censored like another board we're all too familiar with. . . but until we know for sure, I think we could refrain from making speculations about the health of Stevie's dad.

[Hawkeye]

OK since when did all you people become close friends with Stevie's brother:laugh: seriously if i knew this guy, i could care less what kind of a guy he is, if he can get into the family reunions;) he's an alright guy.

I don't know how many ppl are good friends with Chris, I am a friend with him and I know that Seasista, who is my best friend, is even better friends but, not many others.

ROCK STAR'S FATHER TO BE FIRST CIVILIAN IN SPACE

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. [AP] -- The father of rock star Stevie Nicks, Jess, has been cleared by NASA doctors to be the first civilian in space, say sources at Kennedy Space Center here.

Originally, NASA was considering sending up Nicks herself, but it was felt that her status as a celebrity might rub the public the wrong way, the sources said.

"Then we'd start getting all these complaints about why couldn't we just pick an average joe?" said a NASA official.

Rumors have been flying for years about a plan by NASA to send a civilian into space, but the agency has declined to confirm or deny any of this. Now, it appears the decision has been made.

"I lost my power in this world," said Lindsey Buckingham, Nick's band mate in Fleetwood Mac, who had also thrown his name in the hat. "And now, it looks like I've lost my power out of this world too," he said in apparent reference to not being picked for the flight.

The NASA official said Buckingham would have been perfect a couple years ago, since most people had forgotten about him. "Only a handful of hardcore fans, mostly people who post on an Internet message board called The Ledge, even knew who he was right up to a month or two ago. But now that Fleetwood Mac is touring again and Lindsey is stealing the spotlight, he can no longer be considered a regular guy."

"What can I say? Love is the sweet surprise," said Buckingham. "This reaffirms my belief in cycles."

I didn't say he was his personal physician. I said they know each other from the AHI board. How is it unethical to tell a friend, if asked, that another friend is not ill?

I asked someone who works for Dr. D. to check out this rumour. If Jess Nicks were ill and under his care, he probably would not be discussing it, but my friend would have heard about it by now if the rumour were true. Things like that get around the work place fast. That's not to say a man his age wouldn't have a few aches and pains, but I thought people were implying he was gravely ill.

Anyway, I agree. This thread should just die. Long live Mr. Nicks!
