In a recent interview with MOJO, Fleetwood Mac drummer Mick Fleetwood has expressed hope that Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham will reconcile and resolve their issues soon.

The relationship between Nicks and Buckingham has remained tumultuous for nearly half a century.

“It’s no secret, it’s no tittle-tattle that there is a brick wall there emotionally,” Fleetwood shared. “Stevie’s able to speak clearly about how she feels and doesn’t feel, as does Lindsey. But I’ll say, personally, I would love to see a healing between them – and that doesn’t have to take the shape of a tour, necessarily.”

“Even if I thought I could work with Lindsey again, he’s had some health problem,” Nicks said when talking about whether Fleetwood Mac could ever tour again, noting that since the death of Christine McVie it couldn’t happen.

Nicks and Buckingham, who joined Fleetwood Mac on New Year’s Eve 1974, after performing as a duo under the name Buckingham Nicks, ended their romantic relationship in 1976. Though the duo continued to perform together for Fleetwood Mac for several years after their relationship went sour, Buckingham left the group in 1987, and Nicks quit in 1990.

They returned to the group in 1997. Buckingham got fired in 2018, and claimed it was “all Stevie’s doing,” alleging that she gave the band an ultimatum that led to his firing.

Nicks refuted his claims, saying, “I did not demand he be fired. Frankly, I fired myself. I proactively removed myself from the band and a situation I considered to be toxic to my well-being. I was done. If the band went on without me, so be it.”
