Lindsey Buckingham said he is not ruling out a Fleetwood Mac reunion during an appearance in Los Angeles this week.
The possibility of a reunion is a significant point of interest for fans following the death of band member Christine McVie in 2023 [1]. The group has seen a recent resurgence on music charts, prompting new speculation about whether the remaining members will perform together again.
Speaking at the Variety Power of Young Hollywood event in 2026 [3], Buckingham said he addressed the ongoing interest in the band's future. While he did not confirm any immediate plans for a tour or new recordings, he remained open to the idea of a comeback. The discussion comes as the band continues to find new audiences through streaming and digital platforms.
Buckingham's comments follow a period of relative silence regarding the band's collective activities. The group's dynamics have been complex for years, but the current chart success suggests a renewed appetite for their catalog. This resurgence has led to rumors regarding potential high-profile residencies or special event performances.
In addition to the reunion talk, other projects remain in the pipeline for the musicians. A Buckingham Nicks reissue was scheduled for 2026 [2], highlighting the continued focus on the archival work of the songwriters. This release serves as a reminder of the deep creative partnership between Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, which formed the core of the Fleetwood Mac sound.
Despite the openness expressed at the event, the loss of McVie remains a central factor in any future planning. Her role as a songwriter and vocalist was integral to the band's most successful era. Any potential reunion would require the members to navigate the void left by her death [1] while managing their individual careers.
“Lindsey Buckingham said he is not ruling out a Fleetwood Mac reunion.”
The openness to a reunion suggests that the interpersonal tensions that previously hindered the band may be softening, or that the commercial viability of a comeback has become too significant to ignore. However, the death of Christine McVie fundamentally changes the band's sonic architecture, meaning any future iteration of Fleetwood Mac would likely be a celebratory or archival project rather than a continuation of the classic lineup.
