McVie will begin recording with most of the band members in March. The Mac will head out on the road again in the fall.

I never thought it would happen. My most complete Mac lineup back together again. As Mick would say, THE MAC IS BACK! So sweet!!

I wouldn't break out the champagne yet. Mick has been known to leak stuff over the years that turns out either totally wrong or wishful thinking.

I met Mick Back in 1996 right before the release of Twisted and he gave me the 411 on that track and a dinner the 5 had and how something BIG was coming down the pike. I think Mick clears it with the band before he makes such announcements.

I don't ever remember Mick saying anything about Sheryl joining the band. Just Sheryl.

In any event, their publicist verified it. It's been long enough that if it was not true, Christine or her manager would have said something.

Chatting after performing at Willie K's BBQ Blues Festival, Mick Fleetwood confirmed the rumor that Christine McVie will rejoin Fleetwood Mac. Already composing new songs, McVie will begin recording with most of the band members in March. Mick indicated that Christine's rapturously received appearance with the Fleetwood Blues Band in the Castle Theater early last year opened the door for her return. The Mac will head out on the road again in the fall. No word yet if Hawaii is on the radar for shows.

Fleetwood Mac ready to begin recording?

Newly reunited with Christine McVie, the group are already composing new songs according to a report in Maui News

Fleetwood Mac‘s classic line-up is reportedly set to begin recording together for the first time in 27 years. Newly reunited with Christine McVie, Mick Fleetwood, Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks and John McVie are purportedly working on a new album.

Word of the studio reunion emerged through a tiny item in Maui News (via Stereogum), following Mick Fleetwood’s 11 January gig at a small festival in Wailuku, Hawaii. “Chatting after performing at Willie K’s BBQ Blues Festival, Mick Fleetwood confirmed the rumour that Christine McVie will rejoin Fleetwood Mac,” wrote columnist Jon Woodhouse. “Already composing new songs, McVie will begin recording with most of the band members in March … [and] the Mac will head out on the road again in the fall.”

Although the return of Christine McVie has been corroborated elsewhere, this is the first indication that Fleetwood Mac are making a record together. When the group last convened for an album, 2003′s Say You Will, Christine McVie didn’t write any songs. Her only contributions were borrowed from aborted sessions for a Lindsey Buckingham solo album.

When asked about a new album, last September, Lindsey Buckingham said the decision was up to Stevie Nicks. “Stevie needs to come to the table with some material,” he said. “She has to want to do it … [And] she’s probably thinking, ‘If I have to write five new songs, do I want to give them to Fleetwood Mac?’”

Buckingham was part of Sunday night’s Grammys gala, performing in a closing jam with Trent Reznor, Dave Grohl and Josh Homme. Due to time restrictions, producers cut to a commercial before the performance was finished. “Music’s biggest night… to be disrespected,” Reznor tweeted. “A heartfelt FU*K YOU guys.”

Nothing new here it's just a rework of the Maui news piece...The interesting thing is that when Mick put it out there that CM was returning to FM Liz was quick with a confirmation but with Mick's "recording in March & tour in the fall" statement everyone else seems to be avoiding it...Stevie & Lindsey both were in the position to say something at the Grammys and Stevie is interviewed regularly...You would think that since Mick has put it out there Lindsey would mention recording and Stevie even if she isn't thrilled about recording would at least mention some new FM shows...

Lindsey was not interviewed at the grammys - he didn't walk the red carpet, he just performed and was seen in the audience several times.

also, with being burned so many times since Unleashed and being on the record that he wants new FM album, maybe he'd avoid saying much more. he did say in that radio interview that with Christine possibly coming back that opens up some great new possibilities, about which he doesn't want to say anything more so not to jinx it.

But didn't Stevie mention touring? I thought she did say they might do more shows, but that she just didn't mention recording.

if Stevie is mad at Lindsey she might not mention recording, to make him wonder. It's not that she's not going to do it, she will. But she doesn't want to say it. It's like in DR she was saying she might not do a long tour. She had every intention of a full tour, but it was her leverage to get him to stop with the double album.

Yes she did say she was touring but she didn't say it was with FM...She didn't mention touring with FM in the fall but she carried on about wanting to tour with Dave Grohl...If Stevie is doing one of her usual summer tours we should hear something about tickets in the near future...I don't think she will do both (solo & FM) although she did mention doing two tours in one year but I thought she said it was next year (2015)

Is Stevie mad at LB??? who knows...I do think she is playing the FM game the same way Mick is...

she said in Vegas, at the end of the FM show, that they'll be back next year (2014). so i see no reason to think she will not be touring with FM this fall.

she never said she'll be recording with FM though, and in that new interview she said she has no plans for another solo album any time soon and definitely not in the same house she recorded her last solo album. so i guess whether or not she'll be recording with FM this year may be open to speculations.

I don't know. She didn't say enough for me to tell. But if she doesn't like something about what's happening in March, she may want to act like she's on the fence about it and not mention it, as if there's a chance she won't participate. But if they are recording in March, she'll be there.
