I believe Sara and Stevie are still friends ~ I remember reading an article saying that she stays with Stevie for about 3 - 6 months a year. But don't quote me on that

Doesn't Stevie live with Sara and a couple other people at her house in L.A. when she is there?? Pretty sure that was in Harper's Bazaar a few years back.

She posed for Playboy and then dropped off the face of the earth. I highly doubt that she and Stevie still speak, let alone live together.

Nicks' home is a kind of rock-chick sorority. Her housemate and best friend, Sara, was once Mick Fleetwood's wife. The women drift in and out, sometimes adding commentary, sometimes perching on the couch with a cup of coffee to listen.

From 1997 Harpers Bazaar...i KNEW it,lol..and why would she not talk to her again?? Cause she posed for Playboy???

I do remember that interview well, but I was wondering since it's been six years, Sara no longer records or tours with Stevie, and she is mentioned in no recent interviews or album dedications. No explanations anywhere, & I'm assuming a Playboy model isn't one obssessed with privacy.
Maybe she's off cooking & raising dogs with Stevie's other best friend, Christine?

I think if you look at Stevie's history, she's forgiven her friends for all sorts of things, as they have forgiven her for many things she has done. As her friend Don Henley sang, "It's about forgiveness." Stevie's managed to forgive Don Henley. I think that's pretty amazing. I don't know that I could have done that myself. As far as Sara goes, she is working as a professional nurse. Sara Fleetwood actually posted on this website. If you read the petition for the DVDs on this site, you'll see she signed it. So she's been on this site, as have other members of the band.

Cool, thanks for the info. I'd be a littlr freaked if one of Stevie's (former) back-up singers walked into my hospital room.

Please fill me in on the Don thing. Are you referring to the abortion? What exactly did he do that surprises you about Stevie being forgiving?

Don Henley gave an interview (GQ or Esquire, I think) where he talked about Stevie's abortion and how he believed she wrote the song "Sara" about it. This was years after the fact and I believe Stevie had some issues with Don about sharing such private information about their past together. Particuarly something as intimate as that!

This would certainly explain why she won't perform the song ever again.

This is so true,it is just that i want to hear it so bad live,that i tend to overlook this very,very valid reason.Damn,you Don

From what I've heard in various interviews, Stevie holds grudges but they dissapate after about 10 years.

Also, from what I've heard, the whole GQ thing in 1990 wasn't what spilt up the friendship between them. When she married Kim back in 1983, she called Don to invite him to the wedding and he said some choice words and hung up on her. I guess he was really good friends with Robin and I suspect that that was what made them go seperate ways, the GQ thing only made things worse.

Doesn't Mick have a daughter named Sara and an ex-wife named Sara (Recor) Fleetwood? I know that Stevie was pretty pissed with their marriage and affair. Lindsey himself has said that Stevie is very conservative, so I just don't see posing for Playboy sitting well with Stevie. Maybe they're friends again, maybe not. These are just my beliefs.

c'mon gimme a break, as if she's in position to be judging anyone for posing nude after she's done that buckingham-nicks cover. your speculations are pretty dumb.

WelshWitchPMD · #14 05-04-2003, 01:35 PM

Well, I really don't think that Stevie would not speak to someone because they posed for Playboy/Playgirl.
I mean someone could pose nude and still be a virgin!! We can't say that for Stevie.

I think that someone would have to do something really horrible for Stevie to be that mad.

She also didn't show anything of interest on the Buckingham Nicks cover, did she? I must've missed it. Also, I DID NOT say that it was just over the Playboy spread; it's a combo of things that have happened in the past. Read posts thoroughly before commenting. If you don't like my opinions, fine. But don't insult them; it's unbecoming.
