They are going to by no means break the chain, in spite of everything.
Seven years after Lindsey Buckingham was famously fired from Fleetwood Mac, he reunited with Mick Fleetwood — the legendary band’s namesake drummer — within the studio.
The 75-year-old singer-guitarist sat in on studio classes with Fleetwood, 77, who’s engaged on a brand new solo album.
Swedish producer Carl Falk — who’s collaborating with Fleetwood on the LP — posted in regards to the Macters’ reunion on Threads.
“Slightly unreal moment to sit with Lindsey Buckingham and Mick Fleetwood to play Lindsey the album we have been working on,” Falk wrote. “And to see his genuine happiness for Mick to finally do his own album and offering to play guitar and to sing on it. Can’t wait to finish this one.”
In one other Threads submit by Falk, it appeared that Buckingham was armed and prepared for motion along with his axe in hand.
“Mick and Lindsey together again, what a flawless guitar player,” the caption wrote.
It’s been seven years since Buckingham unceremoniously bought the boot from Fleetwood Mac — through the MusiCares pre-Grammy profit in 2018.
“I have sadly taken leave of my band of 43 years, Fleetwood Mac. This was not something that was really my doing or my choice,” Buckingham later defined throughout a live performance. “I believe what you’d say is that there have been factions throughout the band that had misplaced their perspective.
“It harmed the 43-year legacy that we had worked so hard to build,” he continued, “and that legacy was really about rising above difficulties in order to fulfill one’s higher truth and one’s higher destiny.”
Buckingham joined Fleetwood Mac along with Stevie Nicks, his girlfriend on the time, on New Yr’s Eve 1974.
However the pair broke up after becoming a member of the band — an unraveling that was famously captured in Fleetwood Mac’s traditional “Rumours” album in 1977 — and Buckingham left the group in 1987.
Nevertheless, Buckingham got here again to the Mac pack in 1997 to revive the band’s signature lineup with Nicks, Fleetwood, Christine McVie and John McVie.
Nevertheless it was rumored that Nicks had had sufficient of working along with her ex in 2018.
“I dealt with Lindsey for as long as I could,” she instructed Rolling Stone in 2024. “You could not say that I did not give him more than 300 million chances.”
It took not one however two guitarists to interchange Buckingham: former Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers member Mike Campbell,and Crowded Home’s Neil Finn.
However Fleetwood Mac was dealt a maybe closing blow after Christine McVie died in November 2022, with the group primarily disbanding.
However Fleetwood — who hasn’t launched any official particulars about his upcoming album — held out hope that Buckingham would come again to the Mac fold.
“Stevie’s able to speak clearly about how she feels and doesn’t feel, as does Lindsey,” he instructed Mojo in 2024. “But I’ll say, personally, I would love to see a healing between them.”
