Stevie Nicks is still known as one of the most talented musicians of all time—but she didn’t get there the easy way.<br /><br />In the ‘60s, boyfriend Lindsey Buckingham recognized her talent, and called her in to join his band, Fleetwood Mac.

But it wasn’t long before the cracks between Nicks and Buckingham began to show.<br /><br />“Stevie and Lindsay were staying… together and all of a sudden I stop and she goes ‘You go to hell’ and ‘you go to hell,’ and she's singing right into the microphone,” says Fleetwood Mac producer, Ken Caillat, recalling the ex-couple’s constant arguing.<br /><br />Breaking the Band: Fleetwood Mac airs Sunday, July 8 at10:00 ET / PT on REELZ.<br /><br />We pay for juicy info!
