A look at the turbulent, triumphant life of one of rock and roll’s foremost icons Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks is a musical visionary, a poet and an enduring style icon with a truly phenomenal life story. The Omnibus enhanced  Dreams, Visions & Rumours  is a celebratory examination of this tale, tracing Stevie’s life from her Arizona childhood, the magic moment when she joined Fleetwood Mac and the hedonistic turbulence that followed. Crowned 'The Reigning Queen Of Rock And Roll' by  Rolling Stone , and with gold and quadruple platinum solo albums under her beaded belt, Stevie Nicks has enjoyed the ultimate in rock 'n' roll success in her life as a recording artist - but this charmed life has come as a result of grit, self-belief and a devotion to creativity above all; hers has been a journey of intense highs and lows. This biography, a celebration of the Stevie Nicks phenomenon, takes us on her journey from peripatetic mid-West childhood to her explosion onto the music scene as chiffon-swathed rock goddess, right up to present day. Including exclusive interviews with some of Stevie's associates and collaborators from over the years, author Zoë Howe explores the mystique while retaining the magic of this modern-day musical sorceress and wise woman of rock. This updated edition includes information about the 24 Karat Gold self-portrait collection exhibition Stevie curated in Hollywood, her work with the LA band Haim, coping with the loss of her close friends Glenn Frey and Prince, being a Rolling Stone cover girl again and more. 'A page-turning blockbuster. Witty asides and liberal adjectives add to the breathless feel' — Record Collector 'Put simply, Visions, Dreams and Rumours is an epic tale of an epic woman' — Gigslutz 'Howe documents it all the sex, the drugs and the mystification with the nonjudgmental vigilance of a devoted fan' — The Washington Post 'An essential read'—  Rocktopia  “I couldn't put the damn thing down because Zoë Howe is such a damn readable writer. She lightens the load of Stevie Nick's bio with a breezy style often spiced with wise-ass humor.…I love this kind of rock writing.” — Psychobabble Zoë Howe is an author, broadcaster and artist whose writing spans the worlds of music, culture and folklore.
