In a recent interview, Stevie Nicks shared some personal details about her health. She disclosed that she has been receiving injections in her eye every couple of months due to an issue with her vision. The 76-year-old music legend has been diagnosed with wet macular degeneration, a condition that affects the middle part of one's vision. According to the NHS, this condition is "not a good thing" and can cause a person to see colors and experience visual distortions.
Stevie explained that she first noticed something was wrong when she started seeing big purple spots and having hallucination-like experiences. She was confused because she doesn't take any drugs, so she sought medical help and was diagnosed with wet macular degeneration. As a result, she now needs regular injections to manage the condition, which she will have to continue for the rest of her life.
Stevie also took the opportunity to educate people about wet macular degeneration, emphasizing that it is a serious and rare condition. Unlike the more common dry macular degeneration, which develops gradually, wet macular degeneration can progress quickly. Although the exact cause is still unknown, it has been linked to factors such as high blood pressure, smoking, obesity, and family history.
The musician also opened up about her age and mortality in the interview. She revealed that she expects to live for another 15 years, jokingly adding that she may even reach 95 and "rage on an electric scooter." However, she made it clear that she has no interest in living that long, as she considers 88 or 89 years old to be too old.
In the summer, Stevie had to postpone some dates on her UK tour due to a leg injury that required minor surgery. During a rescheduled concert in Glasgow, she talked about the scary situation and how she had to go to the hospital in the middle of the night. Despite these health challenges, Stevie remains a strong and resilient performer, and she continues to inspire her fans with her music and spirit.
