Stevie Nicks was born a music prodigy who could sing before she could even read.

The decision of whether to promote Nicks’s talent or not caused a rift in her family for two years.

Nicks’s grandfather, Aaron Nicks, discovered her musical talent.

He tested her talent, trained her a bit, and started taking her with him to local bar performances at age four.

Her grandfather wanted her to go on tours with him, but her parents refused.

After the fight, her grandfather left home and refused to speak to her and her family for two years.

Nicks and her grandfather were eventually reunited, and she credited him severally as her first and greatest inspiration.

She wrote a song dedicated to her grandfather but never played it for him because it referenced his death.

Nicks dedicated her first album to her grandfather.
