Buckingham recently spoke of a “resurgence of connection between Stevie and myself,” but does that mean a Fleetwood Mac tour? A Buckingham Nicks project? A one-off celebratory event?

Late last week, Lindsey Buckingham dropped a very tantalizing tidbit while speaking to his Instagram followers about his future plans. “I think on a more general level, just the energy in terms of what Buckingham Nicks did to sort of create a resurgence of connection between Stevie [Nicks] and myself, I think on a larger scale, that seems to be something that’s in the air,” he said, referring to the reissue of their 1973 collaborative LP last year. “And what that translates to specifically, I wouldn’t want to speculate yet. But I believe with all my heart, it will translate to something good, and something wonderful, and something needed and something extremely appropriate.”

For context, Nicks and Buckingham haven’t performed together since a January 2018 Fleetwood Mac MusiCares tribute show at New York’s Radio City Music Hall. Nicks was enraged by his behavior that night and essentially told the band that she wouldn’t agree to their “upcoming tour if he was involved. The group sided with Nicks, bringing in Mike Campbell and Neil Finn to replace Buckingham on the tour. He sued them for wrongful termination, they settled out of court, and any sort of reconciliation seemed very unlikely, even though Nicks and Buckingham briefly spoke at a private event honoring Christine McVie.”

“”The only time I’ve spoken to Lindsey was there, for about three minutes,” Nicks told Rolling Stone in October 2024, where she also ruled out any sort of future Fleetwood Mac activity. “I dealt with Lindsey for as long as I could. You could not say that I did not give him more than 300 million chances.” 

That truly seemed like the end of the Stevie-Lindsey saga until July 2025, when they teamed up via social media to tease the Buckingham Nicks reissue. There was no evidence they actually spoke until October 2025, when Nicks went on the Song Exploder podcast and discussed the night they met back in 1966. “Lindsey and I started talking about it last night,” Nicks said. “This whole thing seems really like yesterday to us.”
