Stevie Nicks doesn't think Fleetwood Mac would exist if she hadn't had an abortion.
The 72-year-old singer terminated a pregnancy in 1979 when she was dating Don Henley and she insisted there was "no way" she could have had a child and carried on in the band at that time.
She said: "If I had not had that abortion, I’m pretty sure there would have been no Fleetwood Mac. There’s just no way that I could have had a child then, working as hard as we worked constantly. And there were a lot of drugs, I was doing a lot of drugs … I would have had to walk away."
The 'Dreams' singer ultimately felt it was more important that she carried on in the band because they could benefit so many people.
She added in an interview with The Guardian newspaper: "And I knew that the music we were going to bring to the world was going to heal so many people’s hearts and make people so happy. And I thought: you know what? That’s really important. There’s not another band in the world that has two lead women singers, two lead women writers. That was my world’s mission.”
