Stevie Nicks And Joe Walsh's Breakup Was More Necessary Than We Realized

While Stevie Nicks and Joe Walsh's breakup might've been necessary for their physical well-being, Nicks said the split was incredibly difficult for her. She told The Telegraph in 2007 that Walsh had been the love of her life, saying that after they split: "It took me a long, long time to get over it — if I ever got over it. There was no other man in the world for me."

Nicks wrote a tribute for her former boyfriend in the liner notes of her 1991 compilation album, "TimeSpace." She explained that the song "Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You?" was for Walsh, writing: "I guess in a very few rare cases, some people find someone that they fall in love with the very first time they see them. I never believed in that until that night I walked into a party after a gig at the hotel, and from across the room, without my glasses, I saw this man, and I walked straight to him."

The former Fleetwood Mac frontwoman described feeling like her and Walsh's souls were connected. She concluded, "Thank you, Joe, for the most committed song I ever wrote. But more than that, thank you for inspiring me in so many ways" (via Songfacts).
