To me, the above statement reads like the journalist is paraphrasing what Lindsey has said someplace else, some other time. If he had said it to the interviewer, surely he would have put it like this:
"Buckingham states this tour could well be it."
Or something that gives the paper some credit for the information like "During our conversation, Buckingham stated..."
Might be me being a pedant and maybe it is something he said to the journo, off course. The phrasing just seems off to me.

yeah you could be right. maybe journalist summarized something LB has said in the past, or something he told him in person. he did seem to have talked to him in person for the article:
“I didn’t really know exactly what Christine McVie was up to in those missing years,”
says a sprightly 65-year-old Lindsey Buckingham. “She pretty much took permanent leave of the performing world and moved back to England and lived somewhere out in the country.”
it's weird because the tweet from the paper is quoting LB, but other than the quote i pasted above there are no other direct quotes from Lindsey there -

either way, it's nothing new - Lindsey and Mick have each been saying basically the same thing during their various and frequent fan encounters and m&gs since the tour started. Mick still seems to be hoping they'll get SN on board, and LB still seems to be open to various different options that may get new FM music finally out. the ball just keeps getting pushed down the court timewise, to the next break they have from tour, in each new interview. last time there was i think an interview from Christine where she was saying they'll work on new album during the break before AUS/NZ. now it's after the tour finishes and they get a 3 month break.
