## Summary

Stevie Nicks reportedly felt deeply betrayed after Fleetwood Mac drummer Mick Fleetwood began a relationship with her close friend, Sara Recor, shortly after his own affair with Nicks ended. The episode added to the band’s already fraught personal dynamics and is presented as a lasting source of resentment for Nicks.

The relationships unfolded amid Fleetwood Mac’s late-1970s turmoil, following the success of Rumours and during the period around Tusk. Nicks and Fleetwood had conducted a brief affair while both were dealing with other relationships; Recor’s subsequent involvement with Fleetwood was said to have prompted Nicks to write ‘Storms’, reflecting the emotional fallout.
