Well, now WE KNOW. And we also know that they couldn't care less if Lindsey leaves or dies. They don't. I wouldn't be surprised if they were eagerly waiting for him to die.

It's pretty obvious at this point that Mick has a big 'ol ball gag in his mouth, firmly placed by Stevie Diva.
"we were not happy" = Stevie was not happy = potential no Stevie = potential no money = stick to the script Mick! The whole thing is 50 shades of bullsh*t.

Memo: From: $tephanie To: Mick, Chris, and John Subject: Being Happy and keeping you all rich. Below is the script you all should follow: Script: No talking to Lindsey in any way shape or form. IF asked, we will not be ever playing with him again. But, you should let reporters know that we don't want questions about Lindsey. And Christine, if you ever do an album or email that barking fool again, I'll send you back to London for another 15 years. Don't test me, girl. Love Anabelle Lee

A friend posted this in one of the groups on Facebook when trying to have a rational discussion with some of the Lindsey bashers.
Fleetwood Mac Still Not Interested in Lindsey Buckingham Return ultimateclassicrock.com Sharing this post from a friend in another forum. She has medical degrees and expertise in the issues of abuse , narcissism etc behaviours There is no proof he abused Stevie and that was certainly not why he was fired. Stevie Nicks has said on 3 separate occasions she’s never been abused. Understanding that doesn’t mean anyone thinks Lindsey is a god. Lindsey isn’t a narcissist, he doesn’t meet the diagnostic criteria for the disorder. A lot of misinformation surrounds the 1987 break up. Stevie is the one who got violent. This is what Stevie said about the night at Chris’ house when LB said he wasn’t touring and couldn’t: “ I went crazy; I ran up and jumped on his back and started hitting and scratching him, I wanted to kill him- he ran outside to his car and I ran after him.” According to the rest, he finally grabbed her by the neck and sat her down hard on the hood of his car until the other guys came out because he was afraid she would jump on his car and he’d run over her if he drove away. The problem is, Mick put an embellished version of that event in the book he wrote after the band split which pissed off both Stevie and Lindsey. When they reunited in 1997, Mick publicly apologized to Lindsey and Stevie and said he was “a bit fast and loose with the truth.” Unfortunately, the book was already out for years and sloppy writers who call themselves ‘biographers’ have just cut and pasted that into their newer material which is not fair to anyone and is where much of the misinformation comes from. As Mick, Stevie and Lindsey did an interview in 1997 about him leaving during Tango. He left because Stevie was so addicted to alcohol and Klonopin she couldn’t work on the album. Much of the album was Lindsey’s unreleased solo work he was saving for his own album. All Stevie’s work and vocals needed to be added after the work was done. He wrote melodies specific for the voice issues she was having at the time. Mick was bankrupt, his wife booted him out. He was addicted to coke living in Lindsey’s driveway in a trailer Lindsey gave him. Buckingham was at his wits end dealing with two addicts and trying to work with them after he’d been drug free for several years. His health suffered during that time and his epilepsy got worse. Anyone who thinks Stevie Nicks would stay and work with a man who abused her for 40 years doesn’t get her personality. She doesn’t suffer in silence and has no history of putting her needs second to anyone. Stevie’s parents also adored Lindsey. In fact it was he who they called during that ten year break up like time with the band, to get Stevie in her final rehab when she was walking around carrying baby dolls and talking to them. He also sang and played at both her parent’s funerals. According to the lawsuit which was settled for everything asked for, abuse is not why he was fired nor would he have prevailed given abuse would be sufficient grounds for separation from the band. Stevie has very clearly stated in the last 7 years that she has never been abused by anyone. I’m a Stevie fan and have been since I was 14. I’ve bought everything she’s ever done at least once. I’ve seen Fleetwood Mac 6 times and Stevie solo 14 times. I’ve never bought anything the others did solo nor have I seen any other band member solo. I add that I’ve been accused of being a Lindsey lover and Stevie hater for simply stating facts that came straight from the horses’ mouth. As a fan, I’ve very glad to know she’s not an abused woman. According to Stevie in the 12/30/2013 interview with the Daily Mail: “In my entire life no man has ever gotten physical with me.” And they never had a problem with going to see a band with an abuser. So stupid. They are actually angry at facts. Like they are disappointed she wasn’t abused. |

Lindsey accommodated her AGAIN going back to recording music for what became of the EP and later Buckingham McVie. He talks about writing songs specifically in the keys that Stevie prefers to work in.

Ok here is my slightly weird theory, hear me out.
I think things started to really get weird going all the way back to when Lindsey and Stevie both played back their new albums together with some record executive. I forgot where we first heard this story, was it in the IYD documentary or press. Anyhow, you have to wonder if in that meeting Stevie felt Lindsey got more praise than she did...who knows. But I have to wonder if she got intimidated by him in some way, his ongoing creative force when her story was so dependent on Dave Stewart to save the day? And then her mother passed away and up came a whole new sense of bitterness that hadn't necessarily been seen before. The more the universe seemed to push them in the direction of working together, it's as if she went out of her way to find a way out of it. For reasons, we'll never know.

Stevie craves recognition for her creative works and because of how the system of the Mac works, Lindsey gets partial credit because of his creative genius and production work. What she fails to understand is that people do recognize her lyrical genius apart from Lindsey's contributions to the work. They are their own Lennon / McCartney. The lyrical work she produces is beautiful, and the small genius touches that Lindsey lends to the production of her work is untouchable. Dave, Waddy, Mike... they all add their own little touches and accomplish cool things with her art, but none match what Lindsey did with her songs. And given their history of never getting along all that well for that long, I think that is what pisses her off most. She is forever tethered to a man she cannot stand half the time. Add that touch of jealousy that he settled down, married, had kids and that wasn't in the cards for her, I am sure that rubs her the wrong way as well.
Now, outside of band politics, they have to continue to hold the banners and I understand that while some may not like it. John likes to sail on his boat, be the family man and jam when needed. Christine was stuffed in her English house way too long and enjoys being active no matter who its with. Mick is just a money hungry man that will say anything to line his pockets (brilliant drummer, but never liked him as a person). Who knows, we have heard this song and dance before in the 80s and 90s from all parties. "We're done," "Never going back," "I cannot see myself rejoining the band, ever." Will they never reform as the 5-piece we know and love? Because of Stevie, and the lawsuit, probably not... But knowing these people, knowing this band, I would never fully say its out of the question. |

Lindsey and Stevie could go out next year on a Buckingham Nicks tour. It would shock me but I’m not going to put my money on its not happening, ever.

Did LB in fact perform at each of her parents' funerals?? I had not heard this before.
He did participate in her Heart Association benefits even when they weren't in the band together.

I agree, anything could happen. I think what's really different this time is they've disgusted so many fans, I don't even think they would show up to buy a ticket.
Plus, they've simply run out of time for five-year grudges to work themselves out. They don't have a decade to let the dust settle.

And all of the sudden she wants to take control of Fleetwood Mac? I don't get it. I still think there were more things that we don't know. And I don't mean she is innocent. I just think that's not the whole or main reason.

And i read Buckingham in just 3 of the 12 songs in the album. Plus 4 songs where he is cowriter (3 of those with Christine, were those songs to be included in his unreleased solo work?).
