Stephanie Lynn Nicks, better known as Stevie Nicks, was born in Phoenix, Arizona, on May 26, 1948. Her father, Jess Nicks, was the president of Greyhound, and as a result, the family moved around the country fairly often. Her nickname "Stevie" came as a result of her pronouncing her name as "tee-dee" when she was a toddler. She began singing at a young age when her grandfather taught her to sing duets with him. At age 16, Nicks received a Goya guitar and began writing her own songs. While a student at Menlo-Atherton High School in Atherton, California, Nicks metLindsey Buckingham, her future musical and romantic partner. Buckingham invited her to join his psychedelic rock band Fritz, and the band enjoyed minor success as the opening act for artists likeJimi HendrixandJanis Joplinduring the late 1960s. Both Nicks and Buckingham attended San Jose State University, but eventually, she dropped out of college to pursue her musical career full-time.

Buckingham sued his former bandmates after he was abruptly removed from the group's 2018-2019 Live Nation tour. The lawsuit claimed that according to terms of their deal with Live Nation, each band member would receive $200,000 per show over 60 shows, for a total payout of $12 million. The amount could reach as high as $14 million depending on various attendance milestones and additional dates added down the road. Three months later, the lawsuit was settled for an undisclosed amount. Buckingham released a statement saying:
