Get Well Soon Neale
 

Neale ( if you read the forum)
I am very sorry to hear about your injury. There is never a convenient time for something so unfortunate to happen someone. There are some rather upset people over here in the UK and Ireland that are very disappointed the show had to be postponed. Having said that, I am sure none more sorry than yourself.
You guys are like family up on that stage and you have played together in such a tight unit for so long now. I was glad to hear that you were not going to be left behind or replaced. It honestly wouldnt have been the same

I want to take this time to wish you all the best and for a speedy and healthy recovery and I look forward to seeing you in the very near future.

and the band DIDN'T play on..........

Paul

Wish you a speedy recovery, Neale! My mum has a back condition, so I know how debilitating it can be. I hope treatment proves effective for you. I've never been lucky enough to experience a live Lindsey show before, and I don't know the band beyond Lindsey himself. But I look forward to one in hopefully the very near future.

I definitely wish Neale a quick and full recovery!! I hope you feel better soon!

Yes, wishing you a speedy recovery.

I said this in the wrong thread - so, again, Good Luck and Get Well Soon Neale! :xoxo:

Get well soon Neale, we want to see you rocking again as soon as possible man! :wavey:

sending LOTS OF LOVE!

Take care of that back dude, and we'll see you soon over here in Europe! All the best from the Netherlands.

Gerald

Neal...GET WELL SOON !!!
 

Neal dearest,
Sorry to hear of your injury!!! There are some great new
therapies out there my neighbors are trying! It seems to
work but from experience (ouchy!) we know bed rest is a
key to recovery at first! Sending God's Healing Upon You!

December 4th:
Update on Neale's situation - From someone that's close to him:
Neale has been going through some serious trouble with his back on nearly the entire SWS tour, and is scheduled for surgery at the end of the month to take care of this issue. Thank you to all of you who have wished him well, and who have been compassionate and understanding of the circumstances. Lindsey's band members are not replaceable, they are his family and have become so over the decades. It's not as easy as calling someone else, rehearsing for a while and getting that same comfort level as the well-oiled machine that they already have. Let's all come together and accept the postponement, however disappointed we may be, and extend positive vibes to the guy who needs it. Thanks!

3Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham cancels UK tour due to injury

Guitarist has shelved his planned seven-date tour due to a back injury

Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham has cancelled his UK tour, which was due to begin last night (December 8) in Birmingham.

Buckingham, who released his sixth solo album 'Seeds We Sow' on September 5, has sustained a serious back injury and will not be able to perform live.

The guitarist has promised to reschedule the shows, which were due to begin at Birmingham's Symphony Hall last night and finish up on December 19 at London Palladium.

Representatives for Buckingham said in a statement: "Lindsey Buckingham unfortunately needs to postpone his upcoming UK shows as his guitarist has severely injured his back and is not able to presently perform. All tickets will be honoured at the soon to be announced rescheduled dates."

The dates will be rescheduled at the earliest opportunity, with ticket holders advised to keep hold of their tickets as they will be valid for the new dates. Any ticket holders who wish to gain a refund should do so from their point of purchase.

Hey Neale,
How you recovering man. Havent heard from you or your speakers in a while now. I hope you are recovering well and are on the road to a full recovery. Noel Gallagher (Oasis) played the other night and I just want you to know that currently he is the biggest name in Rock n Roll in the UK. You guys could have melted him in a heartbeat. Why didnt yous even try ???? When are you guys coming over. I never sent my tickets back for a refund yet.
Love yous all, hope to see you ll soon.

Get Lindsey to release a greatest hits album and tour it in the UK.#
I would definafely support this

I love you Madness! :laugh:

We're still not over it Lindsey - y'all get your bums over here.

We're not going to forget Neale's promise! :D

Has any one heard any news on neales recovery and how he's doing?

I'm very happy to report that he is doing well. There is still a bit of the road he has to travel to make a complete recovery and he's still waiting to feel "Normal" again (who defines normal, anyway?). That being said, he is working aggressively on building his strength and has a lovely physical therapist. Thanks to everyone for their thoughts, and here's hoping that normalcy returns soon and so does the music!

Thanks for report yeah i hope neale is well enough to come to UK by December but lindsey hopefully won't go on the road without them as there a team. But i don't know if this is true or not as my friend told me her mum works as a promoter and there certainly talking about coming over but as i say the person that told me this was 45 percent sure

Glad to hear that Neale is doing well. Thanks for the update :)

So I tell myself there's no way I'm going to get excited - but I'm thrown a crumb of hope and off I go again! :distress:

Well all we can do is hope and pray that it will happen

Hey guys i hope i didnt get any ones hopes up as i thought tht people would like a update on neale and the uk tour i only posted it because someone told me im not naming names but she said tht there in talks of redoing the tour and tht they where 45% sure of talks but it relli is a waiting game.Even if it does happen it will have to depend on neale as he still is recovering which could take months. As of now all we can do is hope and pray im so sorry if i made anyone think tht it was for sure happening.:sorry:

I just got off the phone with Neale and
he said it was more like 46.7% sure.

Maybe if we all sang Neale the Seinfeld song...

get well, get well soon
get well, get well soon

I dont know anymore

Did you sing the song?

Haha no i wish tht we had real solid news

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but as far as I've heard there aren't any plans being made as of now. Just don't want anyone to get their hopes up. Sorry! :(

S'okay Miranda - it's just that we're so desperate to see the whole band over here that we grasp at any little straw! :)

Yeah, right! :lol:

Stop messing with our emotions!!!!!!!!

Lets just keep positive i know it sucks that he didnt come over last yr and some of us have given up after it happened but just try to be positive fingers crossed it will happen

??????????????
