Solo album in 2026?
 

Thankyou for uploading this update, and I am really looking forward to whatever comes our way!:nod:

I wish for heavens sake he would release this new Album..
Stevie is attending the Met Ball looking fabulous…and current.

It’s all very well appearing with his kids showing reactions to various previous performances…
And I enjoy watching them…
But he needs to do something for now..

He needs to get out there. For all of us fans, and for himself.

He looks well, but I wonder if he has some health issue now. Because he's been too stagnant for too long ..

I did wonder that…although he looks okay physically he is pasty..pallid almost.
I think he has a lot of make up on.
And I wish he would cut his bloomin’ hair ..

I do wonder if whatever is going on with his divorce is also an issue. Seems like he is enjoying spending time with his kids, which is nice.

For his age, he looks pretty good, I think. They're all pushing 80, so whatever we get is probably a bonus at this point. Touring the way he does is still a grind, and I don't think he needs the adulation the way some people do (ahem, Stevie), and is not as money driven as others (Stevie, Mick). I think he's always making or analyzing music, but financially and healthwise, a tour will likely cost him, so I'm not super optimistic that we will get a lot more touring out of him.

1981 Law and Order
Mirage (1982)
1984 Go Insane
Tango in the Night (1987)
1992 Out of the Cradle
The Dance (1997) not a studio album but I guess it kept him busy for most of that year
Say You Will (2003)
2006 Under the Skin
2008 Gift of Screws
2011 Seeds We Sow
Lindsey Buckingham Christine McVie (2017)
2021 Lindsey Buckingham

Yes it could be health or emotional issues. But there has been stagnant periods in the past. If I don’t count his Mac studio albums, the years between solo albums seem very long in many cases. But even including them, there were some 5 years hiatus. I think that more than the albums, it was the Mac tours that delayed him from releasing solo albums. However, that 1992-97 gap… was he on the road during those years? I can’t remember, I only recall some soundtrack appearances (With Honors, Twisted). If he wasn’t, that would be similar to these late years, except that now he is in his 70s.

Any artist can decide to do something else with their life, temporary or permanent, remember Christine. But the thing is, I often read about he is announcing an upcoming album of him, and several years go by before I see it.

Only in 1993.

During that interval he also made a solo album that was rejected.

Jeez….let the guy work at his own pace. If he wants to release an album at some point, good for him. If he wants to take his time and chill…good for him. If he never again releases music or tours….good for him. He’s old. He’s well past retirement age. Music is allowed to be a hobby now.

Here's the latest short:

The only newsworthy bit is at the very end. When asked about his favorite venues to play, he mentions The Forum as being his favorite LA hometown venue. His daughter remarks "I'd love to see you back there" and Lindsey drops a skeptical hint "Well, you might...we'll see"

I'm going to fall off my chair if we're careening towards another 2018 scenario where they are trying to negotiate some sort of FM thing with Lindsey's solo album thrown into the mix..AGAIN. Make it stop.

I don't think he was getting at that. I think it was more a delusionary remark about the prospects of his solo career blowing up (dreams cast away no more).

My thought upon hearing it was, "Maybe at some big benefit or tribute concert with a lot of higher profile artists on the bill. Otherwise, not a chance."

I saw this too and immediately thought, oh no a FM reunion. I would love a Chris tribute but please no more than that.

Hadn't heard that before. Wonder if much of it surfaced elsewhere.
