Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks have healed their yearslong rift
Published in Entertainment News
Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks’ famously tumultuous dynamic is on the mend with the help of an upcoming Fleetwood Mac documentary.
The “Go Your Own Way” musician, 76, described the group’s “healing” Thursday when speaking to E! News at Variety’s Power of Young Hollywood bash.
“Stevie and I are talking all the time now,” Buckingham said of the two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, 78, who he met in high school and began dating shortly into college.
Their romance ended two years into their Fleetwood Mac run, but spawned some of the band’s most storied songs, including but not limited to “Dreams,” “Go Your Own Way,” “Silver Springs” and “The Chain.”
Buckingham explained that working on Apple TV’s upcoming doc about the beloved band “has been a very circular healing process for all of us.”
“We had left things in 2019, maybe as far as I was concerned, not in a very good place for all the wrong reasons,” Buckingham said, referring to their world tour from 2018 to 2019. “No one was happy about it, and all of that has been healed and worked out.”
In 2024, Nicks said the band will never again tour following the 2022 death of keyboardist Christine McVie, whose celebration of life marked the last time Nicks and Buckingham had spoken.
“You could not say that I did not give him more than 300 million chances,” said Nicks.
Buckingham told a 2009 BBC documentary that for “the lion’s share” of his and Nicks’ relationship, “There has been distance and animosity of some kind, mixed in with everything else, too.”
His latest update on their dynamic comes just under a year after the remastered re-release of their 1973 debut, “Buckingham Nicks.”
