There's no denying the history that Styles and Nicks have together. According to Insider, the two first met in 2015 and, over the years, their friendship has continued to evolve, with Nicks even referring to Styles as "the son [she] never had" in 2019. "When Harry came into our lives, I said, 'Oh my God, this is the son I never had.' So I adopted him," Nicks said during an interview with Rolling Stone. And Styles seemingly reciprocates this adoration. In 2019, Styles inducted Nicks into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist. (Nicks had previously been inducted with her band, Fleetwood Mac.) Styles has also joined Nicks onstage for performances, and vice versa. Needless to say, the two musicians have forged a wonderful bond!
