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

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.

I have been reading posts in social media about Lindsey commenting his next solo work and also with Stevie. I thought that could be just rumours from people on media, but now I see a RS article.

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/m...se-1235605228/

After a long estrangement, Buckingham and Nicks are again friends. “Stevie and I are talking all the time now,” Buckingham said. “Next year quite a few things will reveal themselves”

And an article of his next solo work.

Also, Lindsey posted he will present sombr with the Songwriter of the Year Award at @Variety’s Power of Young Hollywood event this week.

I'm not fan of a new reunion. The Mac is over to me. But next year will mark the 50th anniversary of Fleetwood Mac’s landmark 1977 LP Rumours. Be prepared for the anniversary release, this time an immersive 5D experience.

It sucks that we have to wait until spring of 2027 for his new solo album. I get that releasing it after the Fleetwood Mac bio release makes sense.

Why are they talking again!? How much abuse can these two take? Lindsey also suggests that FM could do something even Chris is gone, but I think John is done and Chris didn't just quit, she passed away. I don't want to see a FM reunion. I don't mind them playing on each other's albums but that is as far as it needs to go. Also, Lindsey looks really old, I think Stevie has aged quite a bit too in the last few years. Mick still looks pretty good for his age. John had aged badly the last few tour's also

I think it's sad that they just can't call it a day. The Eagles, too. It's over and pathetic now, kids. Enjoy your bankroll and ride into the sunset.

Lindsey isn't looking all that great, he needs someone to help him out w that hair and with what he wears... also looks like too much botox in the forehead, he's too smooth and shiny. Stevie needs to lose to lose ramen noodles on her head, they do nothing for her. Mick looks quite good IMO... but John's cancer really took it out of him, he got very gaunt, plus a lifetime of smoking and drinking didn't help.

and no, i don't want a "reunion", either.

I don't want/need a reunion. I want unreleased material whether it be music or video. Maybe some new merch.

It doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. He thinks there’s some mandate that he has to go on tour if he’s going to put out an album. He’s stuck in a very outdated paradigm. If the album truly is done, he could put it out next week. Whatever grand promotional campaign he’s imagining will buy maybe 72 hours of attention. Waiting a year for those precious 72 hours is ridiculous, especially at his age. Not to mention our age. And it won’t be next spring, it’ll be late fall 2027 if anything.

After everything that happened in 2018, it’s nonsense that they’re talking again, as if nothing happened, or at least that’s the impression they’re giving, both, according to what I read in the RS article. Honestly, it almost feels like a sign of disrespect to their fans. I mean, when we wanted more from them, new material or more tours, they ruined the band's legacy—she didn't want to share a stage with him again, after Christine had returned only for the best lineup to fall apart once more, he sued them later, etc. They left us with our expectations ruined in 2018.

And now he's hinting at doing things together soon. I don't criticize if they have healed or are in peace now. Good for them. But... to say they’re "talking all the time now"??? Give me a break! Seems they both are toxic and enjoy to be with toxic people.
