Stevie Nicks On Cory Monteith And Prince

Stevie Nicks opened up about Cory Monteith and Prince in an interview with The Herald in Scotland.

"Glee" paid a tribute to Fleetwood Mac in an episode and Nicks, 65, stated she was devastated by Cory Monteith's tragic death.

Nicks recalled: "I can't remember who it was but somebody said: "This is what will happen if you do heroin: you get really, really sick, you'll throw up for hours, then you'll have about an hour of a high. And then after that high you'll start scraping the ground looking for more. Then for the rest of your life - probably - that's what you will do: search the world for that high. And you'll never find it.""

"With this Cory thing I've thought a lot about it," Nicks noted, explaining: "Mostly you realised that all that recreational/non-addictive (idea) was bullsh*t when it started to become more important than music. And it did. And heroin's a lot quicker road to that!"

Nicks continued: "It's gonna become more important than your music, or your acting, or your amazing career that you have ahead of you. You're just throwing it away. And you have somebody like Cory who had the world at his feet, and his fingertips."



Someone who never did drugs with Nicks was Prince, with whom she almost had an affair.

"I wanted to work with Prince," Nicks revealed, adding: "And I was smart enough to know that if you start having a relationship with somebody, you're never gonna work with them. The romantic thing's gonna take over. And Prince is such a strange and beautiful guy."



Nicks concluded: "He wanted to be my friend; I don't know if he wanted any more than that. I don't know what he wanted. But I know that he wanted to hang out. But we lived in two different worlds. That's when I was totally a drug addict and Prince is the other side of drug addict - Prince is straight as an arrow."
