=== 1987–1990: ''Tango in the Night'', ''The Other Side of the Mirror'', and ''Behind the Mask'' ===
In late 1985, Fleetwood Mac began work on ''[[Tango in the Night]]'', but due to her promotional schedule for the ''Rock a Little'' album and subsequent tour, Nicks was mostly unavailable to work on the album with the band except for a few weeks following her stay at the Betty Ford Center in 1986 (which was the inspiration for the song "Welcome to the Room...Sara"). She sent the band demos of her songs to work on in her absence. The album was released in April 1987 and became the band's second-highest selling album, behind ''Rumours''.

Creative differences and unresolved personal issues within the band led Buckingham to quit the group right before their world tour. According to bassist [[John McVie]], a "physically ugly" confrontation between Nicks and Buckingham ensued when Nicks angrily challenged Buckingham's decision to leave the band.<ref name=FMart60>Sykes, Graham.

The band embarked on the ''Shake the Cage'' tour in September 1987, with Buckingham replaced by [[Rick Vito]] and [[Billy Burnette]]. The tour was suspended while Nicks suffered from [[myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome]] (ME/CFS) and developed an addiction to [[Clonazepam|Klonopin]], though it resumed in 1988. ''Tango in the Night'' met with commercial success and was followed by Fleetwood Mac's ''[[Greatest Hits (1988 Fleetwood Mac album)|Greatest Hits]]'' album in November 1988.

Also in 1988, Nicks began work on a fourth solo album with English record producer [[Rupert Hine]]. ''[[The Other Side of the Mirror (album)|The Other Side of the Mirror]]'' was released on May 11, 1989, to commercial success. Nicks became romantically involved with Hine.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.inherownwords.com/rooms.htm |title=Stevie Nicks on 'Rooms on Fire' |website=inherownwords.com |access-date=June 2, 2010 |archive-date=May 4, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100504171947/http://www.inherownwords.com/rooms.htm |url-status=live }}</ref>

Nicks toured the U.S. and Europe from August to November 1989. She later said she had "no memory of this tour" because of her increasing dependency on Klonopin,<ref>{{cite news |url=http://bla.fleetwoodmac.net/index.php?page=index_v2&id=231&c=11 |work=[[People (American magazine)|People]] |date=January 19, 1998 |title=High Priestess |author=Steve Dougherty, Todd Gold |access-date=October 26, 2011 |archive-date=April 3, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120403003101/http://bla.fleetwoodmac.net/index.php?page=index_v2&id=231&c=11 |url-status=live }}</ref> prescribed in ever increasing amounts by a psychiatrist between 1987 and 1994, in an attempt to keep Nicks from regressing to her former abuse of cocaine.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.benzo.org.uk/nicks.htm|title=benzo.org.uk - Stevie Nicks: "Klonopin - more deadly than coke"|website=www.benzo.org.uk|access-date=February 4, 2019|archive-date=September 11, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190911161903/https://www.benzo.org.uk/nicks.htm|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/3667803/Stevie-Nicks-a-survivors-story.html|title=Stevie Nicks: a survivor's story|last=Brown|first=Mick|journal=Daily Telegraph|date=September 7, 2007|access-date=February 4, 2019|issn=0307-1235|archive-date=August 14, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150814182335/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/3667803/Stevie-Nicks-a-survivors-story.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 1989, Nicks set to work with Fleetwood Mac on ''[[Behind the Mask (album)|Behind the Mask]]'', released in 1990 to moderate commercial success in the U.S. In the UK, however, the album entered the chart at number one and was certified platinum. The band went on a world tour to promote the album, on the last night of which Buckingham and Nicks reunited on stage to perform "Landslide".<ref>{{cite magazine |title=Fleetwood Mac, Live at the Great Western Forum, Inglewood, California December 7th, 1990 |magazine=Rolling Stone |author=Steve Pond |date=February 7, 1991}}</ref> After the tour concluded, Nicks left the group over a dispute with Mick Fleetwood, who would not allow her to release the 1977 track "Silver Springs" on her album ''[[Timespace: The Best of Stevie Nicks]]'', because of his plans to save it for release on a forthcoming Fleetwood Mac box set.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fleetwoodmac-uk.com/timeline/timeline1990s.html |title=Timeline 1990s |publisher=Go Your Own Way |access-date=June 3, 2010 |archive-date=January 12, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100112225348/http://www.fleetwoodmac-uk.com/timeline/timeline1990s.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Fleetwood knew that the song would be valuable as a selling point for the box set, since over the years, it had gained interest among the band's fans.<ref name=Furman2003 />
