WHAT THEY SAID
"Stevie and I are talking all the time now" † — Lindsey Buckingham, telling E! News that the bad blood from his Fleetwood Mac exit has been sorted out. He also teased that next year will bring a few reveals, without saying what they are *†.
THE DETAILS
- Buckingham made the remarks at Variety's Power Of Young Hollywood event, where he handed Sombr the Songwriter Of The Year honor and floated working with him *.
- He was ousted from Fleetwood Mac in 2018, with legal action settled out of court — note Stereogum's own summary text says 2016, so the year is muddled in coverage *†.
- He credits the in-progress Apple TV+ Fleetwood Mac documentary, due next year, as part of the repair job *†.
- The Buckingham Nicks 1973 reissue reopened the door; Nicks confirmed contact in late 2025 *†.
- Buckingham won't rule out a tour, arguing Christine McVie's absence wouldn't be the decider †.
WHO IS RIGHT
Nicks holds the cards here — she made the call to remove him and said in 2024 the band ended with McVie's death *†. Buckingham's touring logic is sound on paper, but he's the only one talking.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
Nicks hasn't responded to any of this, and nothing — Buckingham Nicks or Fleetwood Mac — is confirmed †.
