October 2011 Updates

The month of October is dedicated to Stevie’s dear friend, Robin Anderson who passed away from complications due to leukemia on October 5, 1982. Stevie found out her best friend was ill on the very same day her first solo release Bella Donna went #1 on September 5, 1981. Robin was the one person who had been in Stevie’s life since they were teenagers, she taught her how to sing and how to use her voice. Stevie has stated in several interviews that “this point of her life was the absolute high and low of success.” To make a bad situation worse, Robin became pregnant and gave birth just two days before her death to a premature baby boy (Matthew). After Robin died Stevie said, “I went crazy. I just went insane. And so did her husband (Kim). And we were the only two that could really understand the depth of the grief that we were going through.” Out of that grief she and Kim got married January 29, 1983. They were divorced three months later. Stevie has written many songs about Robin including Gypsy and Nightbird, the entire Wild Heart album is dedicted to Robin.
