**Stevie Interview On Close Up New Zealand**
 

I was sooo excited to see that stevie was interviewed for The New Zealand Current Events Show 'Close Up'

She Talked Abotu The Typical Fleetwood Mac Stuff, like her relationship with Lindsey, but she also said some things about Christine leaving the band, But the big news is she finally talked about what happened on The Tour in New Zealand that everyone was talkign about a while ago about the fight she had onstage with Lindsey!!

And Yes, She will be touring here in March with John Farnham!!!! (Im Singing I Cant Wait right now!! - This will be my first time seeing her live!!)

I recorded the interview, and when i have a moment, i will type up what was said, as i know alot of you will want to know what actually happened on the NZ tour that made them storm off stage :thumbsup:

excellent, she has got a fair bit of coverage in other states from what it seems but there is bugger all in Sydney, although she was on ebst dressed list comp before!

Excellent indeed..it's nice to see NZ taking such a big interest in her upcoming concerts...they obviously haven't had any decent artists visiting there in a while and are making the most of it!

Cant wait to hear the details..cmon! haha

If you do not have time to transcribe, how about a recap of the fight part?

Can you upload the interview for download :D

Oh, now this should be interesting. :nod:

it'll be interesting to hear her POV on the onstage ruckus. thanks in advance for sharing :wavey:

More, more, more please. :thumbsup:

What ruckus? This sounds interesting??????

Ok Heres It Is:

Stevie Nicks:

I have been to the Kentucky Durby 3 times, and you really get a touch of what it would really be like to own one of those horses, its so exciting, the culture, and the people there are so excited about it - its like a subculture, you know, your in the world of horse racing and nothing else exisits.

**play a clip of the little lies video**

Stevie Nicks:

I just finished 135 Fleetwood Mac Shows. We Do get along, but we all still totally fight. The dynamic hasnt really changed, you know, but Lindsey and I adore each other - but we just have that love/hate thing, you know, where I wanna do this song, and i dont, so, it keeps it very real and very passionate to this day, so theres nothing boring or overdone about Fleetwood Mac, you know?

**Plays Save Me Video**

Stevie Nicks:

Of course we miss Christine terribly, and wish that she would change her mind, but she wont, so, she does just not want to do this any more, and thats what happens to some people, they just don't want to travel any more, and thats just her deal. I think she will go on recording forever, but she doesnt want to back it up, and you have to.

Continues:

If you had to do it over, you would want to do less of everything, you know, in our 50's, looking back on it, we all wish that we had not been, you know on drugs some of the time, and the coke, you know, had been an overriding factor for all of us. We all knew it and we all hated it, It was destoying us. So there was a pretty conciensous (I cant spell :D ) effort at a point on the road, where we all knew we had to stop.

Stevie Nicks:

We we all think back to our trip to New Zealand, you know, its an amazing story, it was the fight of all fights, and i think there was thirty thousand people there, that had come form buses all around New Zealand to see us. We were on the last song, of the set, and Lindsey threw his Les Paul guitar at me. I ducked so it didnt hit me, but i was so mad that he had endangered my life. He then stormed off the stage - and we all stormed off the stage after him. The bodyguards and everyone had to physically seperate all of us, and we didn't do an encore that night, and that is the first and only time we have not done an encore. He was mad at me probably because he... it was okay for me to be the performer that i was when we were a couple, but when we broke up, he hated that fact that i was such a lead singer. And Im sure when we left New Zealand, we were not even on the same plane.

(My Mother & Aunty went to this concert and she remembers them storming off stage, but she said it was more like 4 or 5 songs into it, not the last song :shrug: )

**Plays Gypsy Video**

Stevie Nicks:

Its still the same fire, oh yeah, because Lindsey and i, you know, we have that everlasting love affair, that though, hes married and has 3 children, can you beleive that, he has 3 children - and he is a total dad, you know, he has been taking little girls to ballet lessons - but we still have that dynamic, that just is, that just exists, and will still be existing when we are 90 years old.

Stevie Continues:

There was hard times, and tears and broken hearts. But in the long run, when you look back on it, you are like "Hey wasn't it great?"


**Ends**

Host of Close Up

There we are, Stevie Nicks, but kind of tragic, the way it all ended for Fleetwood Mac, they were so talented too. But Stevie Nicks Will Be touring here in March with Aussie Rocker John Farnham

(I Dont Know what she meant by kind of tragic for fleetwood mac - i dont think she knew what she was talking about :) )

All this time I thought you were referring to a fight between them on the SYW tour, not a long time ago...hmm misunderstood!
