Default Clearwater sold out (LB fired for simply being a guy Stevie Nicks couldn’t stand?)

Show preview from Tampa Bay Times - cute little write-up. And finally some news outlets get that sentence of why he was fired exactly right. Sad but correct.

apparently this show is also sold out.

Weekend concert picks: J Balvin, Lindsey Buckingham, Hanson and more

Lindsey Buckingham will perform at the Capitol Theatre in Clearwater on Oct. 26. [Luis Sinco/Los Angeles Times/TNS (2017)]


GOING HIS OWN WAY: Lindsey Buckingham

When last we saw Lindsey Buckingham in these parts, touring behind a duets album with Christine McVie, he called Fleetwood Mac “a dysfunctional family, but it is a family.” Well, he was half right. This summer, Fleetwood Mac fired Buckingham for (depending on whose story you believe) refusing to commit to a long Mac tour, or simply being a guy Stevie Nicks couldn’t stand. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, he said the group’s manager fired him over the phone — and he’s reportedly suing them for income he’ll lose from their new tour, on which Buckingham is replaced by Crowded House’s Neil Finn and the Heartbreakers’ Mike Campbell. It’s all messy, all par for the course with the Mac. For now, Buckingham is touring on his own in support of a new solo best-of anthology, which includes solo hits like Holiday Road and Go Insane. He might also play a few Fleetwood Mac songs, like Tusk or Go Your Own Way, at 8 p.m. Friday at the Capitol Theatre, 405 Cleveland St., Clearwater. Sold out. (727) 791-7400. atthecap.com.
