The new project will be called The Wild Heart of Stevie Nicks and will start right at the singer’s childhood and detail everything in between from her love of music to her early years of waitressing and cleaning houses.
Sheffield writes and narrates the entire show, also digging into the early days of Fleetwood Mac in addition to her solo career. Specifically, he will be delving into the drama with Stevie and the rest of the band that came after the Rumours and Tusk.
