Katy Perry Brings Stevie Nicks to Tears

"The past is like a handful of dust, it filters through your fingers disappearing little by little." So goes Stevie Nicks' narration to the video for Katy Perry's latest single 'The One That Got Away.'

If that sounds depressing, that's because it is -- most especially for Nicks herself. According to Jam, the singer broke down in tears because the song reminded her of her lost love with former bandmate Lindsey Buckingham.

"About a minute in, I just began to cry. It reminded me of my own life and losses, and of the last fight that Lindsey Buckingham and I had," Nicks said of her experience the first time she saw the video.

The clip centers around an elderly woman looking back on a past relationship. For Nicks, the current state of affairs with her past flame are bittersweet. Both Nicks and Buckingham just dropped solo albums: Nicks' seventh studio album, 'In Your Dreams,' was released in May while Buckingham's 'Seeds We Sow' was released in September. The possibility of a reunion seems likely, but is still up in the air.

"Yes, Fleetwood Mac will do something in the future" Buckingham said of the band's reunion to NME. "There's just nothing on the books right now. This is a time for me to take stock all of the things I've done in my life, all the people I've been down the road with, and all the things I've experienced and just appreciate them. When you revisit them, you want all of these things to be in a place where they have dignity."

Until then, the unhealthy intra-band romances will just have to remain a cherished thing of the past.
