Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks have shared one of the music industry’s most complicated relationships. The former couple became key members of Fleetwood Mac, helping shape the band’s legendary success despite years of personal and professional tensions. Now, Buckingham is offering a rare update on where he stands with his ex.

Lindsey Buckingham Made Peace With Stevie Nicks

Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks have a relationship marred by personal and professional conflicts. Despite breaking up in the ’70s, the two continued performing together in Fleetwood Mac, with their complicated dynamic often fueling feuds while also inspiring some of the band’s biggest and most enduring hits.

Now, the guitarist is shedding light on his current relationship with Nicks after years of tension. Buckingham was at Variety’s Power of Hollywood event on August 5, where he told E! News, “Stevie and I are talking all the time now.”

Last year, their self-titled 1973 album titled “Buckingham Nicks,” was re-released, and Nicks also made a comment, saying, “Lindsey and I started talking about it last night. This whole thing seems really like yesterday to us.”

While neither elaborated further, they seem to be in a much better place in their relationship.

Working On The Fleetwood Mac Documentary Healed Relationships

Buckingham shared that he and his former Fleetwood Mac bandmates have been working on a documentary for Apple TV, which will be released sometime in 2027.

The guitarist said the process was a “very circular healing process” for all the members. Buckingham had a falling out with Fleetwood Mac after he was let go from the band in 2018 due to internal disagreements and tensions with Nicks.

The conflict, he said, stemmed from “all the wrong reasons,” but they have since resolved their issues. “No one was happy about it, and all of that has been healed and worked out,” Buckingham shared.

The yet-to-be-titled Fleetwood Mac documentary is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Frank Marshall, and it will be the first film about the band that would be told in their own words, per the press release.

Lindsey Buckingham Confirms New Solo Album

While at the Variety event, a reporter asked the musician about a rumored album, to which he replied, “It’s not a rumor. It’s a reality.”

The 76-year-old has released seven studio albums, his last being the self-titled record released in 2021. Buckingham said that he has been working on his upcoming album for the last three years and believes it’s one of his “best works,” he told AP News.

In 2025, he teased what fans can expect, saying that it will reflect all the things he has learned from his decades of experience.

There isn’t a release date for his new album as of yet, but he confirmed it will launch after the Fleetwood Mac documentary.

Buckingham was fired ahead of Fleetwood Mac’s 2018 tour after being with them for more than three decades. Mick Fleetwood talked about parting ways with Buckingham shortly after, describing it as a “marriage that came to an end.” Nicks also spoke about it, adding, “We just couldn’t agree. And you know, when you’re in a band, it’s a team,” she said, per CBS News.

Buckingham filed a lawsuit against his former bandmates, citing breach of fiduciary duty, breach of oral contract, and intentional interference with prospective economic advantage, per The Blast. He claimed the band “lost their perspective” and added that it wasn’t his choice to leave.

The dispute did not proceed to trial. Instead, Buckingham later announced that he and Fleetwood Mac were able to privately settle the matter.

In April, a report by The Blast detailed that Buckingham’s alleged stalker attacked him in Santa Monica. The musician had an existing restraining order against the woman, who reportedly threw an unknown substance at Buckingham before taking off.

On August 6, the woman was declared unfit to stand trial. The judge noted that it was “medically appropriate to treat the defendant’s psychiatric condition with medication,” citing a report from a medical professional, per Rolling Stone.

The woman, who is facing six felony charges and a misdemeanor, will be back in court later this month to determine her fate.
