Fleetwood Mac

Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks talk ‘all the time now’

It seems time does have the power to heal all wounds — even between famously volatile exes.

Former Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham has opened up about how he and Stevie Nicks were able to move past their longtime feud while working together on an upcoming documentary for the iconic band.

“Stevie and I are talking all the time now,” the musician told E! News at Variety’s Power of Young Hollywood event Thursday. While he remained mum on whether this reconciliation could lead to future tours or collaborations, he did tell the outlet that 2027 — which will mark the 50th anniversary of Fleetwood Mac’s acclaimed “Rumours” album — “should be a pretty interesting year … because I think quite a few things will reveal themselves.”

Buckingham believes making the forthcoming Apple TV documentary has not only helped mend the rift between he and Nicks, but also any remaining tensions with other Fleetwood Mac members.

“I think the process of making that has been a very circular healing process for all of us,” Buckingham said. “Because we had left things in 2019, maybe as far as I was concerned, not in a very good place for all the wrong reasons … No one was happy about it, and all of that has been healed and worked out.”

Buckingham first joined Fleetwood Mac with then-girlfriend and bandmate Nicks toward the end of 1974. He left the band to pursue his solo career in 1987 and rejoined years later. But in early 2018, ahead of a planned tour, Buckingham was fired from Fleetwood Mac after Nicks allegedly issued the band an ultimatum threatening to leave if he wasn’t cut. The singer-guitarist then sued the band for lost wages before settling the lawsuit later that year. Despite admitting that he’d like to be asked back to the band, bad blood lingered.

A Fleetwood Mac reunion has long seemed unlikely, especially following the death of singer-keyboardist Christine McVie in 2022. But perhaps Buckingham’s latest comments, along with last year’s reissue of he and Nicks’ pre-Fleetwood Mac album “Buckingham Nicks,” are signs that not all hope is lost.

“With their 2027 dates due to be announced next month, the sales are only going to skyrocket.

“Noel and Liam should be cracking out the champagne.”

The Official Charts Company confirmed the rankings today as they marked 70 years of compiling Britain’s music.

Sitting behind Oasis at number four is Adele’s 2011 record, 21, which has managed to push The Beatles’ 1967 effort into fifth place overall – with those three records making up Britain’s biggest studio albums of all time.

The 1970s take over sixth and seventh position with Fleetwood Mac‘s ’73 album, Rumours, in sixth followed by Pink Floyd’s 1973 effort, The Dark Side of the Moon.

Michael Jackson sits in eighth with 1982’s Thriller followed by Bob Marley’ ’84 record Legend in ninth and Dire Straits’ 1985 release, Brothers in Arms, rounding out the top ten.
