happy new decade Lindsey and family - ecstatic that it looks like 2020 will be your comeback year! :blob1:



PS please nurture your friends. people sometimes need to be let in and get a little reassurance! :thumbsup:
don't let an ex with never-ending vendetta of haunting you swoop in and try to take over people who love you.

[BLY]

I’m so ready for some some new music from the man!

And you posted these words over there in the Stevie forum: I hope it will be a great one for all of us, and that everyone will finally get over their petty vendettas and turn to light and positivity!

i definitely hope so!

yes, i do think Lindsey is sometimes very laissez faire about nurturing his friendships.

stay in touch with people who love you and lift you up, and let go of negative ones you couldn't help - and hope they get over their vendetta with time.

yes!!

also, Kristen posted this on twitter and IG just a bit ago - such a great start to a new year, and Lindsey looks so content:

yes!!

also, Kristen posted this on twitter and IG just a bit ago - such a great start to a new year, and Lindsey looks so content:


"new beginnings". That phrase fills us with hope and optimism for what is coming this year with Lindsey!

[AncientQueen]

For once I don't even want to sound mean.
I'm really concerned about Lindsey right now. He looks frail, thin and pale in that picture. Hopefully he'll recover further than this soon.

[justcrazylove]

Oh give it a break. Lindsey doesn't look frail. This was a selfie taken on an iPhone. The picture of him in the hospital is what frail looks like. get some bloody perspective. He is alive, 70 years of age, hasn't been seen in any true public form since 2018, you have no idea how he looks. IMO he looks great, content, relaxed and obviously happy to share a photo via Kristen. This is the start of a slow climb back to public life. Be ****ing supportive.

Denial is a river in egypt and aggression is the new black.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, what else can I say?

[justcrazylove]

What a great reasoned response. :lol:

If anger is the new black I'll wear it gladly. Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one.

And some need a bleaching, badly!:lol:

[bombaysaffires]

Wow the opinion police are starting the year out in full force telling folks what they can or cannot think.:distress:

I don't know if I'd say 'frail' but he does definitely look somehow 'different'. To me it seemed his mouth was at bit different, in a way that a family member of mine's does after they had a stroke. (Relax, I'm not saying he had a stroke, I'm saying a member of my family did and was left with a slightly crooked smile afterwards). Maybe it's the paleness of his skin color compared to before that's different :shrug:

The proof will be in the pudding and when he makes his first public appearance.:thumbsup:

I would love it if he were to start answering questions on Twitter again!

[elle]

Wow the opinion police are starting the year out in full force

haha guess people have strong opinions here!

to me he just looks quietly content in that pic, and also not sunburned like he usually looks (although a lot of that is lighting) but pale as light-skinned people would normally look in the middle of winter. :laugh: you really cannot say anything about persons health from a selfie head-shot, i def hate all of mine even if i take them when i think i look great. ;)

for comparison, here are some of LB's photos before the heart attack when everyone opined how he looked great and healthy, so -

I'm very glad Kristen gave us a new picture of Lindsey.

[nicepace]

ecstatic that it looks like 2020 will be your comeback year!


I haven't been visiting the board lately. Has there been some sort of announcement or press indicating this, or are you basing your comment on a photo where Lindsey looks happy and healthy?

(I'm not being critical here, just asking for information. I'm as hopeful as anyone else here that Lindsey has made a complete recovery.)

It has been announced (and confirmed on LB’s website) that he will be performing at the Beale Street festival in Memphis the first of May (the festival is three days, May 1 - 3, LB will be performing on one of the days - the line-up to be announced in February). Lindsey already had a new album ready for release before his heart attack, that will likely be released this year as well (tentatively titled Blue Light). Hopefully, the Beale Street Festival is part of a longer tour in support of the new album. Along with the Instagram photo and quote from Lindsey has the LB fandom quite optimistic for 2020.

Lindsey Buckingham’s Wife, Kristen, Shares New Year’s Photo
by Best Classic Bands Staff

Lindsey Buckingham has scheduled his first concert appearance since the open heart surgery he had in February 2019. The surprise announcement on Dec. 20 was made by the Beale Street Music Festival in Memphis, Tenn. The annual event revealed the first round of the lineup for its 2020 edition and downplayed the classic rock legend’s appearance.

After noting the headliners – in the announcement’s second paragraph – including the Lumineers, the Avett Brothers, and Lil Wayne – the festival noted “additional first round artists include soul singer Leon Bridges, rock icon Lindsey Buckingham… ” and other acts, including Mavis Staples and Taj Mahal.

On New Year’s Day, Buckingham’s wife, Kristen, shared a photo on her Instagram account of themselves, with a caption that read, in part, “The best time for new beginnings is now.”


The news of Buckingham’s health issues was revealed by Kristen on the musician’s social media platforms on Feb. 8, 2019. He suffered vocal cord damage and was “recuperating at home and each day he is stronger than the last,” she wrote. The singer turned 70 on Oct. 3, 2019.

Buckingham had a highly visible divorce from Fleetwood Mac in 2018. The band completed a tour this fall with two replacements – the Heartbreakers’ lead guitarist Mike Campbell, and longtime Split Enz/Crowded House guitarist-vocalist Neil Finn. Buckingham spent much of his time in 2018 organizing an anthology and performing on a solo tour.

Shortly before the news of his heart surgery, Buckingham had noted that he was planning on scheduling 2019 concerts and one such date had already been listed: he was to play the Doheny Blues Festival on May 18-19, 2019. That performance was cancelled.

Ironically, Buckingham did perform that week, playing guitar at his daughter LeeLee’s high school graduation concert on May 17, as she sang.

Kristen Buckingham shared a clip of the performance on her Instagram account on May 18. That same day, she tweeted: “Last night was epic. First time I’ve seen Lindsey play in the last 4 mos, all the while Lee ending her high school career. AND she sings a little Landslide with her dad. I cried, I’ll admit it. Never know what’s ahead so enjoy the moment…”

Watch father and daughter perform


On May 20, she tweeted a follow-up comment: “The love and support for Lindsey and our family from all of you means the world. Thank u!
