Nicks recently recalled the moment she first appeared onSNLin anemail interview with PEOPLE. “That was about two and a half years into my solo career, so it was nerve-wracking because it was not Fleetwood Mac; it was my solo career, so it was very scary to go on the show when you’ve been in a huge band and now you’re going onSaturday Night Liveas a solo artist,” she said.

The “Edge of Seventeen” crooner added that on top of being nervous, she also ran into an issue when her friend “freaked out and had terrible stage fright” right before she was supposed to join the star to perform her second song live.

Nicks ended up finding a last-minute replacement — her sister-in-law and longtime backup singer, Lori Perry.

“It was one of those shows, that even with that horrible wrench that was thrown in the middle of it, it came off beautifully,” Nicks explained. “I’ve never been so proud of anything as I was of that night. It was a magical show, and I was thrilled, and it definitely kicked my solo career up.”

Saturday Night Liveairs at 11:30 p.m. EST on weekends on NBC.
