Rock legend Stevie Nicks, 76, recently underwent emergency leg surgery, raising concerns that the procedure might be connected to her past struggles with cocaine addiction.

Stevie’s Health Scare:

• On the night of the incident, Nicks reportedly felt severe discomfort and decided to seek immediate medical attention. She recounted the experience to her audience, saying, “It was like two in the morning, and I said: ‘I think we need to go to [the] emergency [room].”
• Nicks was rushed to a hospital in Scotland by her butler, and after spending two days there, she had to cancel her scheduled performance in Glasgow.
• The venue released a statement, saying, “Due to a recent leg injury requiring a minor surgical procedure that will need a few days of recovery time, Stevie Nicks’ scheduled performances…have been postponed.”

Concerns Over Cocaine Connection:

• Though the exact cause of the surgery has not been disclosed, there are speculations that her years of cocaine use might have contributed to her condition. During the peak of Fleetwood Mac's fame, Nicks was heavily addicted to cocaine, admitting, “All of us were drug addicts, but there was a point where I was the worst drug addict.”
• Longevity expert Dr. Gabe Mirkin, who has not treated Nicks, suggested, “Cocaine abuse is frequently associated with clotting, which can occur in the legs.” However, a representative for Nicks dismissed this diagnosis as “completely inaccurate.”

Conclusion: Despite the health scare, Stevie Nicks is determined to finish her tour, with her next shows scheduled for September 24 at the Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and September 28 at Hersheypark Stadium in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Fans are relieved to see the rock icon back on stage, continuing her legacy.
