Stevie Nicks had an abortion??

RockALittle250 · #1 09-05-2005, 04:53 PM

I was just reading on a bio website that Stevie had an abortion and was carrying Don Henley's child. Is that information true? If so, what year did this happen, and what did Stevie say she wanted the child's name to be?

I've heard this story a lot over the years, and to my knowledge Stevie has never made an official statement on the matter. But from what I heard, I *think* she did have an abortion. I don't know about it being Don Henley's kid...probably Jimmy Iovine's if anyone's.

I may be a newbie to this forum, but i have been a SN/FM fan since the mid 90's. But that doesn't answer my question.

Don Henley once spilled that Stevie had an abortion and the baby was theirs. About any or all others, your guess is as good as mine. Nothing has ever been confirmed, just speculated.

Yes it's true Stevie had an abortion.

You might want to check out Mari's site and read the Vox article among others...

Didn't Don make some statement that was really rude or something about it? Anybody know what he said that was so offensive?

I'd take everything said in the Vox "interview" with a grain of salt.

This topic comes up every now and then. Don spilled the beans about the abortion that she had sometime in the 70s when they were dating, to Vanity Fair in the 90s. Stevie confirmed it. Don said he thought that she named the child Sara and that's what the song was about, but Stevie never confirmed that.

And that's pretty much all that's ever been said about it since.

If Stevie wanted us to know about this she would have said something. It's really none of our business.

She has. She's told us in her songs.

Listen to Goodbye Baby and it is pretty straight forward with lyrics such as...

"Don't take me to the tower and take my child away"- don't take her to the abortion clinic

"I who was the hour glass"- she's pregnant

"And I who went to sleep as two, woke up as one"- that is pretty clear

"I'lll be with you one day"- They'll meet again in heaven

And, on the SYW album there is a baby breathing in the background of the song if you listen real good...

Just my 2 cents!

A baby breathing in the background?! I have to go try to hear that now.

Wow, Chris, I would have definitely never gotten any of that from those lyrics.

She didn't say this song was about Lindsey? I don't remember; I'm just asking.

Also, does a baby's breathing sound that different from an adult's. Again, I don't really know.

So, I'm listening to it now and I definitely don't hear any breathing at all. If I turn it really loud, it just gets kinda staticy, but that could be from my headphones. Anyone else hear the breathing?
