Did Lindsey Buckingham Just Tease A Reunion With Stevie Nicks?

The story is told so often that it feels like myth: Before they joined Fleetwood Mac together and began an historic spree of easy listening West Coast rock excellence and intra-band romantic mess, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks were a romantic couple who doubled as a musical duo. Their 1973 album Buckingham Nicks was out of print and off streaming services until a reissue last fall, but those business machinations did not actually involve Buckingham and Nicks reuniting. That might be about to change.

A reunion between Buckingham and Nicks would be significant and unlikely. They've fallen out and mended fences several times over the years, but when Fleetwood Mac kicked Buckingham out of the band in 2018, it was primarily because Nicks couldn't stand to be around him anymore. Any chance for a Mac reunion with Buckingham expired with the death of Christine McVie in 2022, which ended the band forever. But theoretically Buckingham and Nicks could do something. And based on a new video Buckingham uploaded to his Instagram today, it sounds like they might.

The clip is all about what Buckingham is looking forward to in 2026. He mentions a solo album that's one song away from completion, as well as the upcoming Fleetwood Mac documentary directed by Frank Marshall. Then he says the following:

But I think on a more general level, just the energy of what Buckingham Nicks did to sort of create a resurgence of connection between Stevie and myself, I think on a larger scale that seems to be something that's in the air. And what that translates to specifically I wouldn't want to speculate yet, but I believe with all my heart it will translate to something good and something wonderful and something needed and something extremely appropriate.

That doesn't sound even slightly definitive, but it certainly could indicate some plans are already in motion. Watch Buckingham recite those very words below.

In more important news, in one of Buckingham's newest videos with his daughter Leelee and son Will, he comments on the brainrot slang "6-7." I'm pretty sure that trend is dead by now, and many of the kids who popularized it are too young to be described as Gen Z. But it's still cute to hear a 76-year-old rock star weighing in, even if he's late. "My guess is that 6-7 doesn't mean a damn thing," he correctly proclaims.
