Harry Styles and Stevie Nicks should have found each other.

He unintentionally became the leader of a highly acclaimed boy band formed by chance. The group experienced massive popularity until its members eventually parted ways. She has been in the spotlight for more than half a century as the lead singer of a band considered to be both a musical and cultural phenomenon. The band did well for about 50 years. Both were great singers and were born to be in the spotlight. Both are known for having their own style.

The 29-year-old from the English town of Redditch and the 75-year-old from Phoenix, Arizona, admired each other’s talents from afar (maybe one was more familiar with the other at first), and now they call each other friends no matter how far apart they are.

Nicks told Rolling Stone in early 2019 that “He’s Mick [Fleetwood]’s and my love child. When Harry came into our lives, I said, ‘Oh my God, this is the son I never had.’ So I adopted him.”

Figuratively, of course, since Nicks also gets along great with Anne Twist, who is really Harry’s mother.

Harry went to a Fleetwood Mac show (without Lindsey Buckingham) in London in 2019 with his sister Gemma, his wife Anne, some friends, and a couple of his bandmates. Their large group was noticed by everyone there.

Before she started “Landslide,” Nicks told the sold-out crowd at Wembley Stadium, “I’d like to dedicate this to my little muse, Harry Styles, who brought his mother tonight. Her name is Anne. And I think you did a really good job raising Harry, Anne. Because he’s a gentleman, sweet and talented, and that appeals to me. So all of you, this is for you.”

Nicks told Rolling Stone that she loved Harry and was “so happy” that he made a rock and roll record. She said that he could have made a pop record instead, which would have been easier. But I guess he also wanted to be born in 1948, because he made a song that sounded more like it was made in 1975.

She had been watching Styles’ solo career for a while at that point, though.
