Stevie Nicks: Botox made me look like ‘Satan’s angry daughter’

Stevie Nicks was addicted to Klonopin for eight years, and spent time in rehab after a plastic surgeon told her that she had a hole in her nose from cocaine use.

But there’s one drug she swore off after one go: “Botox only makes you look like you’re in a satanic cult,” the Fleetwood Mac singer told the Guardian.

“I only had it once and it destroyed my face for four months,” the 72-year-old rock star said of the popular wrinkle-eraser. “I would look in the mirror and try and lift my eyebrow and go, ‘Oh, there you are, Satan’s angry daughter.’ ”

The singer-songwriter vowed “never again. I watch a lot of news and I see all the lady newscasters looking like Satan’s angry daughters, too.”

But even though she’s hard-passing on dermatologist’s syringes, she isn’t resigning herself to senior citizenship, either.

“I don’t have just 10 years to hang around and wait for this thing to go away,” Nicks told the Associated Press of the pandemic. She’s been strictly isolated in her Los Angeles home since the coronavirus took hold, on the heels of a tour with her bandmates, ““An Evening with Fleetwood Mac.”

“I have places to go, people to sing for, another album to make,” she said. She echoed in the Guardian, “I’m not, at 72 years old, willing to give up my career.”

Nicks, who calls Harry Styles a “very good friend” is releasing a new project, “Stevie Nicks — 24 Karat Gold The Concert,” in drive-ins and select theaters next week.

And her 1977 hit “Dreams” is getting a second life on the BIllboard charts, thanks to a viral TikTok trend.

The belladonna has embraced her age and position as a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, she’s the only woman to be inducted twice, and isn’t ruling out a passionate love affair, post-COVID.

“Could I fall in love and run away with somebody at 72 years old? Yeah. It’s probably not gonna happen, but it’s possible.”
