Stevie Nicks reveals advice she gave to Katy Perry: 'Her contemporaries should be friends and not rivals'

Singer Stevie Nicks has confessed that when she met pop sensation Katy Perry, the one thing she asked about was how to handle competition at work.

During an interview with ABC News Radio, the Fleetwood Mac star explained that she spoke with the 'Teenage Dream' beauty about dealing with rivals in the music industry:

"I said to her, ‘Katy, let me tell you something. You don’t have any rivals. So forget that. Never say that word again. You don’t have rivals. All of those girls? Friends. You’ll probably work with all of them at some point. Friends.’”

She added that Perry was particularly interested in who her rivals were when she launched a solo career with the release of 'Bella Donna' back in 1981:

"She said to me, ‘So when you did Bella Dona who were your rivals?’ And I was, like, speechless. I was, like, ‘I didn’t have any rivals.’ And she said, ‘Really? None?’ I said, ‘No…the girls in Heart [were] friends. Pat Benatar [was a] friend.”
