“I realize I don’t have a lot of control over that - any control over that.”Īnd then there’s his new music, which is finally coming out on Sept. While he’d like to be asked back to the band, he’s well aware that it’s probably a pipe dream unless Nicks comes around. Sitting in the living room of his Brentwood home, he is uninhibited in conversation - his honesty about his circumstances at turns refreshing and disconcerting. With the spotlight on him this week, we revisit their drama.Īnd yet despite this assertion, Buckingham is quick to make incendiary comments about his former bandmates and associates. Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham were friends, then lovers, then Fleetwood Mac bandmates. Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham’s rocky relationship: A timeline of love and war Then Nicks, who accepted the prize on behalf of the band, felt that Buckingham was mocking her for her lengthy speech. In January 2018, when the group walked onstage to receive their MusiCares Person of the Year award, “Rhiannon” - a song written by Nicks - was playing, which Buckingham complained about. The tension between Buckingham and Nicks, who were an infamously volatile couple during Fleetwood Mac’s 1970s peak, only grew from there. Stevie Nicks, the band’s primary lead singer and singular superstar, however, would not budge.

For his new album, he only wanted three months.īut Fleetwood Mac’s 2018 tour dates had already been sketched out. He’d made a similar request back in 2006 and was granted two years to tour behind back-to-back solo efforts. Upon completing the 10-song collection, he asked his bandmates in Fleetwood Mac if they’d be willing to slightly delay an upcoming tour so he could promote his new music. “Lindsey Buckingham ,” the singer-guitarist’s seventh solo venture, was finished nearly four years ago. This is the album that started all the trouble.
