Stevie Nicks reveals she wrote to the cast of ‘Glee’ following the death of Cory Monteith

The Fleetwood Mac star admits she was 'sick for days' after hearing the tragic news

Fleetwood Mac star Stevie Nicks has revealed that she wrote a personal letter to the cast of hit US musical show Glee following the tragic death of actor Cory Monteith this July.

Speaking to The Sunday Telegraph magazine Stella, the singer explained that her previous struggles with drugs moved her to contact the grieving cast. “I said, ‘Forgive me if I’m stepping into your personal space. I lost my godson to an overdose last year – he died at a fraternity party – so I do understand how shocking that is,'” Nicks told the supplement. “When what happened to Cory happened, I was just sick for days. Honestly, just sick. [Drugs are] just so prevalent. It’s everywhere. It’s worse than when we were young.”

Nicks had previously been in contact with the cast of the show in 2011, when the program covered several songs from the band’s seminal 1977 record ‘Rumours’.
