By 2012, Fleetwood Mac hadn’t released an album in years, something Lindsey Buckingham blamed on Stevie Nicks. The band was working without Christine McVie, but Buckingham felt it was time to put out a new record. Nicks resisted, though. According to Buckingham, she felt intimidated by the quality of the music. Her hesitation to write new songs ultimately caused the project to fall apart.
Lindsey Buckingham said Stevie Nicks resisted making a new Fleetwood Mac album
As Fleetwood Mac geared up to tour, Buckingham started itching to put out a new album. Their last album with new material was 2003’s Say You Will. He felt it had been too long and began working on new music.
“It would have been really appropriate at this point,” he told Rolling Stone. “Stevie wasn’t really into doing it. She wasn’t into it at all. But I went ahead and got John...

Lindsey Buckingham is known for his longtime role in the rock band Fleetwood Mac, but his history with the band has had plenty of ups and downs. According to him, Stevie Nicks had a hand in his 2018 ousting from the group.

Buckingham started playing guitar and writing his own songs when he was just a teenager. By the early 70s, he was dating Nicks and the pair even recorded an album together, Buckingham Nicks. They struggled to find success, but in 1975, Buckingham was asked to join Fleetwood Mac as a guitarist. He accepted — but only if Nicks could join the band as well.

Fleetwood Mac hasn’t come out with new music as a band since 2003. While many fans want the band to continue, that dream was halted after the death of keyboardist and vocalist Christine McVie. In a recent interview, Mick Fleetwood confirmed that Fleetwood Mac continuing without McVie is “unthinkable.”

While Fleetwood Mac has rearranged its roster a few times since its conception in 1967, most fans know the official lineup to be Mick Fleetwood, Christine McVie, John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, and Stevie Nicks. The band had a successful run, with their most significant hit being 1977’s Rumors.
In the late 1980s, the band began to disintegrate before reuniting in 1993 for Bill Clinton’s first presidential inauguration. The band then reunited for a live compilation album called The Dance in 1997. Christine left the band in 1998, but...

Like gladiators in ancient Rome, rappers Drake and Kanye West entered the Los Angeles Coliseum last night with the energy of two people about to enter a fateful battle. The pair, who spent the majority of 2021 in acrimonious tension, trading coded bars at each other on their respective releases, recently buried the hatchet. According to a series of Instagram posts, Drake and Kanye (who is now legally known simply as Ye) are as chummy as ever. Their performances as part of a benefit concert for imprisoned gang leader Larry Hoover...

The Haden Triplets – siblings Petra, Rachel, and Tanya – offer another sneak peek of their forthcoming LP, The Family Songbook, with the heavy-hearted “Every Time I Try,” accompanied by a video that pays tribute to syndicated country-music television programs that were popular weekend viewing from the Fifties to the early Eighties. The clip also features an amusing cameo from actor Nick Offerman (Parks and Recreation) as the “special guest star” of The Haden Triplets Show, a throwback to music-oriented series such as The Porter Wagoner Show and the Springfield, Missouri-based Ozark Jubilee,...

Living in Los Angeles in 2019 means that every couple of weeks you’ll be summoned somewhere only coyotes and executive producers live to hear whatever Kanye West has been learning about in Bible study. This time it’s the Book of Daniel; this time it’s being staged as an opera; this time there are bomb-sniffing dogs hired from a firm that promises “High Consequence Threat Protection.” Art thou able to make known unto me the dream that I have seen?

In 2014, the Haden Triplets – Petra, Rachel, and Tanya – released their eponymous debut album on Jack White’s Third Man Records label. A sterling collection of vintage country songs, the LP was distinguished by the siblings’ chill-inducing harmonies. The daughters of jazz bass legend Charlie Haden (who died in July of that year) pay homage to their father’s exceptional music history, first as a singing (and yodeling) 2-year-old member of his family’s country-music act and his later years as one of the most influential jazz instrumentalists from the Fifties...
