Lindsey Buckingham blames Stevie Nicks for the lack of new music from Fleetwood Mac, telling Classic Rock<\/em> magazine that the fact that the legendary rock band haven\u2019t released a studio album since 2003\u2018s Say You Will<\/em> \u201cwasn\u2019t for lack of trying.\u201d<\/p>\n

Buckingham, who released a self-titled solo album earlier this year, was fired from Fleetwood Mac in 2018, and claimed earlier this year that Nicks was the catalyst for that decision: speaking with the LA Times<\/em>, the guitarist said that Nicks issued a \u2018him or me\u2019 ultimatum to the band, in a bid to assert more control over the group, an accusation Nicks has denied.<\/p>\n

Now, in a new interview running in the new issue of Classic Rock<\/em> magazine<\/a>, on sale on December 7, Buckingham suggests that his former partner\u2019s reticence to get involved in the writing and recording of new Fleetwood Mac material is the reason there\u2019s been no new album from the band in 18 years.<\/p>\n
