She was the rock star and did what she wanted to..... she thought she was fine... and the record exec's for their own selfish purposes would of told her she was fine

That reminds me of something I heard on the radio a couple of years back.
The radio station was having a phone-in about 'Worst Concerts You've Ever Seen' and this lady called up immediately to say that Fleetwood Mac in Dublin 1988 was absolutely the worst because of Stevie. The way she worded it was something like :''This woman that I had adored for years and there she was ,completely out of it on stage in front of me''. She went on to say that the worst of all was at the end of the concert when Stevie bent to bow to the audience she couldn't get up..and Mick Fleetwood had to actually walk across the stage and pick her up from her bow pose to bring her off stage!

I heard that was dreadful too but I didn't know the details. Poor Stevie. Some very, very bad times.

Stevie was off cocaine in 1988. It's my understanding she completed her Betty Ford's treatment by late 1986 or early 1987. She must have been drunk.

Harriet, I don't know if you are familiar with the Nicks Fix or not, but someone asked Lori the very question you mentioned in your post. You can see the whole on going Q&A here:

http://www.nicksfix.com/SingerPage/s.../ask_lori.html

The question and answer you seek is probably this one:

from Greg in San Francisco
Since you and Sharon are so close to Stevie, how come you were unable to prevent her addition to pain killers and cocoaine? How could you NOT notice she was taking drugs?! I haven't heard any statements from you or Sharon taking any responsibility for taking care of someone thousands of people love and care about.

Lori's answer:

Hello Greg...
This is an interesting question, and a very heavy one. It’s also rather personal, and not one that I feel is really any body’s business but mine, Sharon’s, and Stevie’s. However, I will say that when one decides to get into drugs, whether their friends try to stop them or not, if they don’t want to stop, there’s not much anyone can do.... even those who have had interventions. Often times if you push an addict too hard, they cut you out of their life, then making it impossible to help them at all. Ultimately, it is the addict’s choice to stop. I could tell you of many addicts who went to rehab, and overdosed after they came out. Stevie is an extremely strong and determined woman, and no one has ever been able to tell her what to do. She is a woman who makes her own choices, and she is the one who made the choice to stop doing drugs (and smoking, by the way)!

I would imagine that she was a booze bag during Aussie shows of the RAL tour cos procuring drugs out of the country is always tricky, especially without the global resources of FM on your side. Also, she had gotten herself in a bit of trouble with Aussie authorities earlier that year so she may have "kept her nose clean".

I do hope all the people who want to find the bootlegs of her falling 4.5 feet off the stage find their copy and play it in their homes over and over and over and over and over and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh.

Why would you say that?! That's dreadful!!

I say that in the hopes that those people who would be inclined to relish that kind of entertainment would stay in their dreary houses and never ever darken my path with their bones and fat.

You make a very good point I didn't consider. Trying to smuggle drugs into Australia, past customs would be an extremely risky venture. I can picture the headlines.."Stevie Nicks arrested with drugs at airport...tour in doubt"
