Nicks is, undeniably, the star attraction in Fleetwood Mac - and her draw has only increased in recent years as she’s cemented herself further in the pop culture firmament. “It would be like a scenario where Mick Jagger says, ‘Either Keith goes or I go,’” he says. Then Nicks, who accepted the prize on behalf of the band, felt that Buckingham was mocking her for her lengthy speech. In January 2018, when the group walked onstage to receive their MusiCares Person of the Year award, “Rhiannon” - a song written by Nicks - was playing, which Buckingham complained about. The tension between Buckingham and Nicks, who were an infamously volatile couple during Fleetwood Mac’s 1970s peak, only grew from there. Stevie Nicks, the band’s primary lead singer and singular superstar, however, would not budge. Still, Buckingham says, the majority of the group - drummer Mick Fleetwood, keyboardist-vocalist Christine McVie and bassist John McVie - seemed flexible. For his new album, he only wanted three months.īut Fleetwood Mac’s 2018 tour dates had already been sketched out. He’d made a similar request back in 2006 and was granted two years to tour behind back-to-back solo efforts. Upon completing the 10-song collection, he asked his bandmates in Fleetwood Mac if they’d be willing to slightly delay an upcoming tour so he could promote his new music. “Lindsey Buckingham ,” the singer-guitarist’s seventh solo venture, was finished nearly four years ago. This is the album that started all the trouble.
