Stevie Nicks, famous rock singer from Fleetwood Mac, appeared on Oprah’s “Rock Goddesses of the 70s and 80s” show on Wednesday.

She performed her classic song “Landslide” joined part way through by Sheryl Crow.

On the show, Nicks admitted Fleetwood Mac’s early success was “overwhelming.”

Nicks said she and Lindsey Buckingham, her boyfriend at the time, were shocked at the fame of their first album “Rumors” in 1977.

"Lindsey was a telemarketer for one day," she said on the show. "I really made the money for the rent, the car, the food, the utilities. So all of a sudden, we had so much money... that part was overwhelming."

Nicks, who battled drug addiction for years, has been sober for 17 years. Nicks told Oprah she always knew she would still be “rocking out at 62.”
