- Stevie Nicks said watching "Daisy Jones & The Six" felt "like watching my own story."
- She said she wished Christine McVie, Fleetwood Mac's late keyboardist, could have seen the show.
- "Daisy Jones & The Six" has long been thought to have been inspired by Fleetwood Mac.
Stevie Nicks said watching "Daisy Jones & The Six" made her "feel like a ghost watching my own story."
The limited series on Amazon Prime was adapted from Taylor Jenkins Reid's novel by the same name and follows a 1970s rock band through their meteoric rise and catastrophic fall. It has long been believed that the fictitious band is loosely modeled after Nicks' Fleetwood Mac.
"Just finished watching Daisy Jones + the 6 for the 2nd time," Nicks wrote on Instagram Tuesday night, the post containing a photo of the "Daisy Jones & The Six" cast from the show. "In the beginning, it wasn't really my story, but Riley [Keough] seamlessly, soon became my story."
Nicks said the show "brought back memories" and was "very emotional" for her.
"I just wish Christine [McVie] could have seen it. She would have loved it," Nicks added.
A number of the cast members responded to Nicks' praise of their show, as well as Reese Witherspoon whose production company, Hello Sunshine, produced the series.
"Oh my stars , Stevie !! This means the world to the whole @daisyjonesandthesix team! Thank YOU for cutting the path!" Witherspoon commented.
Keough, who plays the titular role of Daisy Jones, and Suki Waterhouse, who plays the band's keyboardist, Karen Sirko — the character thought to be inspired by McVie — both posted emojis in the comments.
Sam Claflin, who plays the band's male lead singer, Billy Dunne, wrote "blessings" with the heart hands emoji in the comments.
Prime Video also commented, "No Words."
Nicks wrote in her post that she hopes the show "will continue..." but no plans for a second season have been announced. The show's first season covered everything that was included in Jenkins Reid's novel.
