I will grumpily admit that a reworking of Fleetwood Mac #XIII would be a better send-off for the band than the Finn/Campbell version, especially if John is well enough to take part. I understand that Lindsey has an ego too...

Having said that, it will all rather stick in my craw. In the unlikely event they came to the UK, I wouldn't go. Stevie denied us a final album with the FM moniker on it, although part of me might concede that what we got instead was improved by her absence.

This does not surprise me at all. Lindsey has been dropping hints for about 6 months now. But I think its as ridiculous as Lindsey's firing was. Gosh remember when Mick said Mike and Neil were permanent new members and they were not "fill ins." But I have been saying this since 2018 that Lindsey would share a stage with Stevie again. I will also predict they will do Frozen Love and celebrate Buckingham Nicks in the set too. Mick and Stevie will say with a serious face that time healed the wounds and the public will eat it all up. Oh yeah the facial expressions during Silver Springs will be called authentic and dramatic. I can hear Stevie phoning Mike. Sorry Mike but I need to do this for Mick and he wanted Lindsey.

I probably wouldn't even go if it was free. Croak, croak, croak.

Or maybe they can lip sync like they say Don Henley is doing now. Even sadder...

I wonder what John is thinking if he’s read those headlines suggesting possible reunions. I highly doubt the idea appeals to him. Can you imagine how he’d feel standing on stage and seeing that Christine is no longer there on keyboards? I wouldn’t want to cause him that kind of sadness; I hope his bandmates have considered that. Besides, it would be very sad for them, too.

Sheryl Crow is waiting in the wings plus her cousin plays bass.

I haven't read the paywalled article, but if we follow his cycles theory through to its inevitable next phase, while we may well see a SYW-lite project and feel-good rapprochement of sorts, wouldn't we also have to endure the subsequent falling-out and ill-treatment all over again when the Wheel of Time keeps turning?

I can see where Lindsey is coming from. It's the same old stage in the cycle for him, with a nearly completed album of material and hoping to get it out there on a bigger stage. And wanting a chance to rewrite the closing chapter of the FM/BN story.

But I can't see where Stevie is coming from. Maybe she's grown bored of her solo shenanigans.

Or the two of them deep down just crave one more opportunity to get close enough to each other to keep twisting the same old knife.

I don't particularly want to hear either of them sing. I definitely don't want Stevie to write any new 'songs.' I would settle for a public apology to the fans and to the memory of Chris and the Rumours Five for the shameful past ten years.

Maybe Lindsey could ask if he could do some solo shows to support his album in between the Mac ones and see how that goes this time

I have a very large bridge to sell you if you think an apology is going to happen.

I see headlines all over the web "Lindsey Buckingham says feud with Stevie Nicks is over."
Can someone please tell us what the feud was? Lindsey has always stated he had no idea. Mick could never answer the question either. Stevie says she could not stand Lindsey anymore but never any details. The feud is over. Can someone please ask them what the feud was about? 8 years later no one knows.
No one will ever ask because the answer involves arrogance and pettiness and no way anyone will use those words with Stevie in the same sentence.

Its hard to keep track of the lies. First Mick stated that Lindsey wanted to do a solo tour within the Mac tour so they let him go because of that. Then it was Stevie's manager said she would never be on stage with Lindsey again. Mick stated Neil and Mike were permeant member and would like to record music with them. Then Mick said after Chris's passing that Fleetwood Mac was over. Now this mysterious feud is over?
Someone must have promised them huge coin for the 50th anniversary of Rumours next year.

Shhh listen. If you listen closely you can hear Sheryl warming up in the wings.

That old bitch would NEVER apologize. If they do reunite, they should just rename it Stevie Mac.

It's so tiresome. They fight, then make up and the cycle continues for years and years. Now they are pals again? WTF? Why does Lindsey even care at this point. I don't know what the state of his marriage is right now. I think he still wears his ring, but they aren't together I don't think, but I am sure some of their difficulties were from his not accepting what Stevie and the rest of the group did to him. Have some pride man!!

Tusk Lindsey would kick this pathetic Lindsey right in the sack. Because it's empty. Maybe he spells it LindsAy, now?

Inquiring minds want to know...

Here is Lindsey on Entertainment Tonight discussing the concert possibilities next year. He is open to doing a residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas. When he said that I had a horrible thought. If they did that would they use an AI Christine on stage for a song or have her appear in the background. I hope not. That would not be proper but everyone has their opinion. I remember Prince's family was furious that they gave permission for a Prince tribute at the halftime show and they used some sort of sphere magic to make it look like Prince was playing the piano and walking. I wonder is Stevie is busy crafting new tributes.

I mean, even Lindsey was telling fans that he was planning on doing a mini-tour during the off nights.

And, Azoff was actually Lindsey’s manager, not Stevie’s, and was acting as the lead manager for the tour. And, Lindsey crapped all over the two big festivals he was putting on and had tens of millions invested in.

I have zero doubt that was true in that moment. I think it was Mick’s way of sweetening the pot to get Stevie on board with another Fleetwood Mac album. Plus, why wouldn’t he want to make an album with them?

DownOnRodeo · #14 08-09-2026, 08:35 PM

They sounded rough at the Classic Crap concerts ten years ago. If we're talking another year from now, I would hope they do use lip synch, AI, and Abbatars, whatever it takes.

Their story shouldn't be an Apple TV documentary. It should be a Netflix "Black Mirror" episode.

Perhaps when he said "residency in Las Vegas," Lindsey meant to say "residential care in Los Angeles"?

I really doubt he'd want to do anything on stage again without her there. I don't think they'd push him to do anything, though... maybe they'd extend an invitation to be polite and then understand if it's not up his alley. but yes i feel the same, that it would be painful for him.

not so sure it would cause lindsey and stevie much sadness, to be honest. and mick would prob get over any pangs of sadness quickly.
