Stevie Nicks’ love of Tom Petty is no secret – but did you know that she once actually tried to join the Heartbreakers?

Nicks told the story during an appearance on former Heartbreakers guitarist, and current Fleetwood Mac member, Mike Campbell’s SiriusXM show.

She says she once pitched joining Petty’s band to an industry friend: “Maybe they need a girl singer… and he is like, ‘You’re joking, right?’ And I’m like, ‘Well, I’m kind of joking, but not, not completely’.“

While that never happened, Nick and Petty would go on to work together, including the duets “Insider” and “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around”.

How would rock history be different if Stevie Nicks had left Fleetwood Mac to join the Heartbreakers?
