The Record
I thought we could all benefit at the moment from having key remarks from band members etc. listed in one place in rough chronological order.
- Basic policy will be to only include direct quotes from band members; but due to the relative radio silence on the Lindsey side, I will extend this to direct quotes and hearsay from interested parties who are close to any of the band members (e.g. the likes of Richard Dashut; NOT the likes of "psychologist Dr. Linda Papadopoulos" ). - Correct me if I make any errors or display any undue editorial bias - This is a work in progress, but one man can only trawl through so many endless threads of Sugar Mice and Homers McVie without Going Insane. Please help me fill in the holes in my existing list and provide any other new or existing quotes by replying to this thread, along with the link to the original thread where available. - It would be great to be able to replace the articles with interview transcripts. Not the whole transcripts, just the parts that seem pertinent to ‘what went down’. Don't make posts here discussing the substance of the quotes! Use the original threads or make a new thread. +--------------------------------+--------------------------------++--------------------------------+--------------------------------+ +--------------------------------+--------------------------------++--------------------------------+--------------------------------+ O---------------------------------------------------------------- 2017 June 20 Lindsey Buckingham in a Los Angeles Times interview (When asked how he felt about playing the Classic shows, geared to evoke memories of the old days)Source thread: O---------------------------------------------------------------- 2018 January 26 Stevie Nicks in a red carpet interview before Musicares in NYC (In response to a question about what the Musicares award means)Source thread: O---------------------------------------------------------------- 2018 January 27 Lindsey Buckingham in a fan paparazzi video taken the morning after Musicares (In response to a question about his solo album and tour plans)Source thread: http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showthread.php?p=1228631 O---------------------------------------------------------------- 2018 April 4 Billy Burnette on his Facebook (post was subsequently hastily deleted) Breaking news: Lindsey Buckingham is out!Source thread: http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showthread.php?t=57756 O---------------------------------------------------------------- 2018 April 9 Joint press statement by Fleetwood Mac Lindsey Buckingham will not be performing with the band on this tour. The band wishes Lindsey all the best.Source thread: http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showthread.php?t=57761 O---------------------------------------------------------------- 2018 April 12 Rick Turner (and Pattie D) on 'Real Savage Like' FaceBook forum Rick Turner At one point, Lindsey had proposed that both FM and he with his band tour at the same time with the LB band filling in dates between the FM shows. The report was that Stevie wanted at least a day between gigs; Lindsey wanted to play as much as possible. That's what I heard from a most reliable source at the NAMM show in January. [...] I think it just points out one point of contention. Maybe it looked to some as though LB was going to do really well touring hard; perhaps not doubling his money on the tour, but certainly getting in nearly twice the audience facetime.

For me, personally, probably some of you know that, for the last three months, 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. I think what you would say is that there were factions within the band that had lost their perspective. ... The point is that they'd lost their perspective, and what that did was to harm — and this was the only thing I'm really sad about, and the rest of it becomes an opportunity — but it harmed the 43-year legacy that we had worked so hard to build. And that legacy was really about rising above difficulties in order to fulfill one's higher truth and one's higher destiny.Source thread: http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showthread.php?t=57907 O---------------------------------------------------------------- 2018 May 11 Brian Larsen in YouTube post notes Lindsey *did* want to tour. Saying that he did not want to tour until 2019 is simply not true, no matter who says it.Source thread: O---------------------------------------------------------------- 2018 May 27 Mick Fleetwood in TMZ airport ambush interview (In response to questions whether the alleged story that Stevue wanted Mike Campbell to replace Lindsey and issued an that either Lindsey goes or she goes and the band sided with her No.Source thread:http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showthread.php?t=57941 O---------------------------------------------------------------- 2018 June 15 Mick Fleetwood in Yahoo!News article and on SiriusXM radio Fleetwood is reluctant to go “into all of ups and downs and the details of where we ended up” with Buckingham this time around, but he gives “huge kudos and respect, forever and before and now and into the future, of what Lindsay Buckingham has always been within the ranks.” He also reveals that he and longtime bandmates Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie (who took a hiatus from the group from 1998-2013), and John McVie “thought very, very hard and long about going forward.” In fact, they even considered not going forward at one point, but it didn’t take long before they realized they wanted to stick together. “Well, it was a huddle, really. It was a team huddle of the existing band members to really not panic into anything, other than really following our hearts as to what this meant — which was huge, any which way you look at it,” Fleetwood muses. “And once we had galvanized that approach amongst the four remaining folks, the ladies and the guys in the band, we took the bull by the horns. It was really as simple as that. But it certainly took a real, meaningful breath. All of us, probably in our various ways, came to that decision that we want to, we need to, we feel good about it. And once we all felt that we really wanted to do that, it got hot and heavy as to how this is going to be really musically uplifting for the existing band — the band that we have now — and have it be believable for everyone out there that has been loyal and taken that journey with the crazy band Fleetwood Mac.”Source thread: http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showthread.php?t=57973 O---------------------------------------------------------------- 2018 June 29 Kristen Buckingham on her Instagram (In response to a user asking “WTF did [Lindsey] do [to get fired]?Source thread: http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showth...t=58003&page=5 O---------------------------------------------------------------- 2018 July 1 Richard Dashut on his Twitter I’ve been asked for my opinion on Lindsey’s departure from FM quite a few times. Alright, here it is. I believe what has transpired amounts to the final chapter in Stevie’s & Lindsay’s relationship. Power balance finally tipped over. Creativity spilled, “never going back again “. I get the fact that more than a few of you are concerned about the legacy of FM without Lindsey. Nobody took it harder than I. [...] Yes I can confirm that Lindsey is indeed personally crushed by his firing and no it’s not right. At this point in his career he should be completely satisfied with his legacy, not in pain. [...] I just texted Lindsey your feelings and got an immediate response. He sincerely thanked me for all your messages of support and I could tell it meant a lot to him. Sometimes we need others words of appreciation to get us over the hump and remind us of our own self worth.Source thread: O---------------------------------------------------------------- 2018 August 3 Richard Dashut on his Twitter Please don’t blame Christine McVie for what happened to Lindsey. After texting with Chris I am convinced that whatever went down between Stevie & Lindsey was to personal, complex, hurtful & deep for her to have affected the outcome in any meaningful way. She has a heavy heart... [...] Believe me I was witness to many an intense argument between Stevie & Lindsey back in the early 70s when we were all living together. To get in the middle was a futile exercise in emotional hostage rescue with little positive results, usually leading in ones own self destruction. I know this, the opposite of love is not hate but apathy. There was never any apathy between Stevie and Lindsey, not now, not ever.Source thread:http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showthread.php?t=58003 O---------------------------------------------------------------- 2018 August 5 Mick Fleetwood in Billboard article Obviously this is a huge change with the advent of Lindsey Buckingham not being a part of Fleetwood Mac. We all wish him well and all the rest of it. In truthful language, we just weren’t happy. And I’ll leave it at that in terms of the dynamic. And he’s going out on the road more or less the same time I think -- not in the same places, I hope (laughs). [...] If you know anything about the history of this band, it’s sort of peppered with this type of dramatic stuff.Source thread: http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showthread.php?t=58029 O---------------------------------------------------------------- 2018 August 6 Kristen Buckingham on her Instagram (In response to Mick Fleetwood’s remark in the Billboard article saying that “In truthful words, we just weren’t happy”)Source thread: http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showth...t=58029&page=3 O---------------------------------------------------------------- 2018 August 15 Lindsey Buckingham North America solo tour and Best Of album officially announced for October-December 2018.
