Lindsey Buckingham said he and Stevie Nicks are now talking all the time after healing a years-long rift [1, 2].
The reconciliation marks a significant shift for the former Fleetwood Mac collaborators, whose public tensions and professional estrangement have been well-documented for years.
Buckingham said the update during Variety’s Power of Young Hollywood event in Los Angeles [3]. He said that the two have moved past their previous conflicts and established a consistent line of communication [1, 2].
The catalyst for the reconciliation was a special project involving an upcoming Fleetwood Mac documentary [2]. Buckingham said that working on the film helped heal old wounds and facilitated their renewed connection [2].
While the pair previously maintained a distance that mirrored the internal volatility of their time in the band, this new rapport suggests a period of stability. The documentary process required a level of reflection and interaction that allowed the former partners to resolve the issues that had kept them apart [2].
Buckingham said he did not provide specific details regarding the nature of the healed wounds but emphasized that the current state of their relationship is positive [1, 2]. The news comes as fans of the legendary rock group continue to follow the interpersonal dynamics of its surviving members.
