Fleetwood Mac's 35 years of 'Rumours'

By Denise Quan, CNN

It's 35 years after the release of Fleetwood Mac's groundbreaking album "Rumours," and Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham are holding hands.

Maybe it's true that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Or maybe it's a put-on, knowing that fans are still intrigued by the complicated interpersonal drama that drives the band.

"Rumours" gave listeners a voyeuristic peek into the messy romantic lives of the quintet. "Go Your Own Way" was Buckingham's anguished kiss-off to Nicks. "Don't Stop" was Christine McVie's song of encouragement to her soon-to-be ex-husband, John McVie.

A special anniversary reissue of "Rumours" is now available, with expanded and deluxe versions featuring previously unreleased demos and early takes, along with a dozen live recordings from the group's 1977 world tour.

In April, Nicks and Buckingham will join drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie for their first tour in three years. In addition to their arsenal of beloved hits, they're hoping to crowd-test three newly recorded tracks.

"We have two brand new songs and one really, really old song," Nicks said.

The "old" tune predates Fleetwood Mac: an unreleased nugget written for the "Buckingham Nicks" LP, which marks its 40th anniversary this year.

The two "new" tracks were penned by Buckingham. Last year, he went into the studio with Fleetwood and McVie to record eight songs they hoped would become the catalyst for a new Fleetwood Mac album. But Nicks had reservations.

"We really didn't want to rent a house for a year and then make a whole record with 13, 14, 15 songs on it, then have most of the people who are thinking about buying it buy one song," she explained. "So we did the three songs, and we'll see how the world reacts to that. If they love those three songs, then maybe they might talk us into doing something else."

Maybe Nicks and Buckingham's hand-holding isn't for the cameras. Maybe it's to remind each other that despite their differences, they remain personally supportive and unified in their commitment to the juggernaut that is Fleetwood Mac -- even if it means playing mostly vintage hits for their upcoming tour.
"That's okay," Buckingham conceded. "That's part and parcel with what we do."

"We laugh," added Nicks, "but (the classics are) why we all have a beautiful house."

She's been talking about beautiful houses ever since she visited Lindsey.

Was she under the impression that Lindsey lived in a hovel before? I guess she looked at the way he dressed and assumed the worst.

I laughed the other day because she tried to bring Mick into it by acknowledging his restaurant.

Tango was recorded at Lindsey's house. But not this house.

I didn't pick up on that - which interview was it? Anyone know?

It is kind of strange, but at the same time, I seem to remember an article where Stevie mentioned that she had never been to Lindsey's house... but I think it was from maybe the SYW era so I just assumed sometime in the last 10 years she'd gone over there. At one point didn't they only live a few miles away from each other?

he may have said it in that his-and-hers RS interview? i'm not sure but i think it was not one of these from village recorder studios, although i might be wrong.

SN mentioned that in 2009 during UL tour promotion i believe. or maybe in that relatively recent BBC doc that just re-aired 2 days ago?

She made that comment in the 2009 Don't Stop doc for BBC. She said he had only been to her house a couple of times and she had never been to his.

They still do not live far from each other, but she was renting some other house at the time she said that during TISL - I think it was the one she had the photo shoot and pretty red dress/cape thing whatever with the roses on on the tiled staircase outside.

gotcha! couldn't remember if it was a brand new house at the time of syw as opposed to selling/building his current house.

One of the first batch of promo videos..also in the Don't Stop doc as previously mentioned. I too would have just assumed since then they had visited each other's places.

And they rented a house to record SYW in.
