Then a lot of good stuff would never have seen the light of day. This woman is the mad songwriter! She can't contain herself! She needs an outlet! Remember?!?!

Not sure how a facelift could help her coloring...which was the biggest problem in Boston. I guess that is probably just another dig at your girl.

Doesn't mean it has to be a PUBLIC outlet, now does it.

Nah, not a dig at all... I honestly believe she did have a facelift before "the dance".. either late 1996 or early 1997.. if you compare pictures of her from early 1996 to the dance, there is a big big difference.. and it's more than just color tone... her skin was tight in 1997.. no wrinkles, no lines, no nothing.. the same cannot be said for 1996, 1995, 1994, etc. i'm sure quitting smoking also helped her tone and overall skin health.. but quitting alone will not take away wrinkles from someone's face..

It actually wouldn't surprise me either. However, from what I've read about her skin peeling while she was coming off Klonopin, maybe she needed a face lift just to get her face to look half normal. The visual image I have of Stevie during her recovery...

Man, what I think about what that woman went through, I'm amazed she's not only alive to tell about it, but is looking and sounding really good.

It's very true... she does look great considering everything.. i don't think she's had anything done since that time period (96, early 97), but i think you're right.. she needed to have something done at the time... i don't think anyone would have wanted to see an old unhealthy looking stevie nicks re-united with FM for the dance... and she knew that.

I am not sure when she went through all that exactly but Twisted was in early 96 and Boston was in October I believe. By May of 97...Stevie was a new woman. Something changed..

According to the McCall's article she had the implants removed in 1994. Then in the May 1, 1998 Entertainment Weekly article she states that she started taking Klonopin in 1986 and talks extensively about how awful the drug made her feel. Was this Boston concert early or late 96? We have no way of knowing what month she started Klonopin, but lots of times a new medication can make you feel pretty awful with side effects. Sounds like she didn't do very well on it in a lot of ways, not just the writing. YIKES!! SCAREY!!

The concert was in October of '96. She went on a Boston radio station, not sure when to be honest, and talked about having them removed and that she didn't have them in a freezer.

I don't think she had a face lift. I think she had laser surgery.

Well, whatever she did for the dance, i wonder if she'll ever do it again... not that she needs to right now... but eventually...

I agree it looks like she had work done and I do blame her one bit. I do think though that La Nicks knows lighting and she is always lit magnificently. Look at Beautiful Child's sig video as evidence - same with The Dance. She realizes that the world judges women by their looks - part of that is the image she created but I think most of it is the nature of the world and she can't fight the world - hey - she can't change it

Definitely.

Don't you think it's weird though how some people deny that Stevie had has plastic surgery? It's on the record she's not against it, having told everyone about the implants, so it's not a far stretch to think she's had more done. The difference between how she looked in the early to mid 90s, to how she looked on The Dance is astonishing. She definitely had some help.
