Buckingham and Nicks, who were romantically involved at the time, joined Fleetwood Mac on New Year’s Eve 1974 after performing as the duo Buckingham Nicks. They remained key members until Buckingham left in 1987, followed by Nicks in 1990. Both rejoined the band in 1997, but Buckingham was dismissed in 2018.

In a recent interview with Mojo, Fleetwood opened up about their strained relationship, saying, “It’s no secret that there is a significant emotional barrier between them. Stevie and Lindsey are both very clear about their feelings.” He added, “Personally, I would love to see a healing between them – and that doesn’t have to take the shape of a tour, necessarily.”

Buckingham and Nicks ended their relationship in 1976, just before the band recorded their iconic album ‘Rumours.’ Despite their breakup, they continued to work together professionally. However, after Buckingham was fired in 2018, he told People that it was “all Stevie’s doing,” claiming she gave the band an ultimatum to choose between him and her.

Nicks refuted these claims, stating, “I did not demand he be fired. I removed myself from a situation I considered toxic to my well-being. If the band continued without me, so be it.”
