Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks together again?
Lindsey Buckingham seems to have hinted that a reunion with Stevie Nicks. The two reconnected last year following the re-release of their 1973 album “Buckingham Nicks”. On that occasion, Nicks was conciliatory and stated: “Lindsey and I started talking about the album last night. It really feels like it happened yesterday.”
Now, Buckingham has posted a video on his Instagram channel in which he talked about his future plans, which include a solo album and the release of the documentary about Fleetwood Mac. He then added, speaking of Stevie Nicks: “But I think on a more general level, the energy that “Buckingham Nicks” has unleashed to recreate some sort of connection between me and Stevie, I think on a larger scale it’s something that’s in the air. I wouldn’t want to speculate on what that means specifically yet, but I believe with all my heart that it will result in something good and wonderful and necessary and extremely appropriate.”
Lindsey Buckingham
And
Stevie Nicks
when they were a couple on stage and in life, they became part of the
Fleetwood Mac
on New Year’s Eve 1974, after performing in the duo called
Buckingham Nicks
. They shared experience in the band together until 1987, when Buckingham left the group, before Nicks’ departure in 1990. Both rejoined in 1997, before Buckingham was fired in 2018.
After the firing, Buckingham told People that it was “all Stevie’s doing” and that she “basically gave the band an ultimatum: either I’m leaving or she’s leaving.” For his part,
Stevie Nicks
she dismissed the allegations, stating, “I didn’t ask for him to be fired. Frankly, I fired myself. I proactively distanced myself from the band and from a situation that I considered toxic to my well-being. I was done. If the band continued without me, so be it.”
Before the reprint of
“Buckingham Nicks”
(

) and the subsequent confirmation that the two had gotten closer,
Mick Fleetwood
he had publicly expressed his desire to see them reunited. Their alleged reconciliation is even more surprising, writes the NME, considering that in 2024
Stevie Nicks
I had
declared to Rolling Stone magazine
that the last time he had seen Lindsey was at the memorial service for
Christine McVie
and that she had only managed to speak to him “for about three minutes”. “I dealt with Lindsey as long as I could. You can’t say I didn’t give him more than 300 million chances.”
Nicks has also repeatedly ruled out the idea of a band reunion, saying that without
Christine McVie,
missed in 2022, “there is no chance of Fleetwood Mac reuniting”. Different thinking
Lindsey Buckingham
who said in February 2024 that he would rejoin the band “in a heartbeat” if the opportunity arose.
