After a Long Estrangement, Buckingham and Nicks Are Again Friends

"Stevie and I are talking all the time now, Buckingham said. "Next year quite a few things will reveal themselves. Just a couple of years ago, any sort of reconciliation between Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham felt like an absolute impossibility.

They briefly interacted at a memorial event for Christine McVie in January 2023, but otherwise had no communication since Buckingham was removed from Fleetwood Mac in 2018, sparking a legally battle that was eventually settled out of court. "The only time I've spoken to Lindsey was [at McVie's memorial], for about three minutes, Nicks told Rolling Stone in 2024. "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.

But in October 2025, Nicks revealed that the number grew to 300 million and one when she was interviewed on the Song Exploder podcast. "Lindsey and I started talking about [the night we met in 1966] last night, Nicks said. "This whole thing seems really like yesterday to us.

And in March of this year, Buckingham said the recent reissue of the 1973 Buckingham Nicks album drew them back together. "What that translates to specifically, I wouldn't want to speculate yet, he said. "But I believe with all my heart, it will translate to something good, and something wonderful, and something needed and something extremely appropriate.

These were very tantalizing words that generated tremendous excitement in the Fleetwood Mac fan community. And in a new interview with E!, Buckingham again hinted at a future project with Nicks, seemingly tied to the release of an upcoming documentary about Fleetwood Mac's history directed by Frank Marshall. "I think the process of making that has been a very circular healing process for all of us, said Buckingham, who dodged a question about a possible tour, instead saying the "the mort important thing was the fact they're reconciled.
