News of the pair’s musician reunion was detailed by Swedish producer Carl Falk, who took to Threads recently to share a photo from the studio where Fleetwood has been working on a new solo album. The sessions have ostensibly also seen Fleetwood working with The War on Drugs’ Adam Granduciel.
“Slightly unreal moment to sit with Lindsey Buckingham and Mick Fleetwood to play Lindsey the album we have been working on,” Falk wrote. “And to see his genuine happiness for Mick to finally do his own album and offering to play guitar and to sing on it. Can’t wait to finish this one.”

Another post shared by Falk captured Buckingham in the studio with his guitar in hand. “Mick and Lindsey together again, what a flawless guitar player,” the caption wrote. Currently, no official details from Fleetwood have been announced in regard to the content or release of the forthcoming album.
Fleetwood served as one of the founding members of Fleetwood Mac alongside guitarist Peter Green and bassist John McVie, serving as the group’s percussionist for the entirety of their career. Buckingham joined as guitarist and vocalist alongside singer Stevie Nicks in 1974, completing the band’s most famous lineup, which also included McVie’s then-wife Christine.
Buckingham departed the group in 1987, but rejoined in 1997 as part of the band’s classic lineup reunion. Buckingham remained with the band until the 2018 announcement he would no longer be touring as part of Fleetwood Mac.
“I have sadly taken leave of my band of 43 years, Fleetwood Mac. This was not something that was really my doing or my choice,” Buckingham later explained during a live concert. “I think what you would say is that there were factions within the band that had lost their perspective.”
“It harmed the 43-year legacy that we had worked so hard to build,” he added of the group’s decision, “and that legacy was really about rising above difficulties in order to fulfill one’s higher truth and one’s higher destiny.”
The guitarist was replaced by former Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers member Mike Campbell, and Crowded House’s Neil Finn for the band’s final years. Fleetwood Mac would officially split in 2022 following the passing of Christine McVie.
Buckingham’s departure from Fleetwood Mac occurred almost a year after the release of Lindsey Buckingham Christine McVie, an album which featured the band’s lineup with the exception of Nicks. Until 2025, it was the most recent collaboration between Buckingham and Fleetwood.
Stevie Nicks has shared a powerful performance of her most recent single, “The Lighthouse”, as part of her Election Day eve appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Stevie Nicks is praising Lizzo for her powerful speech at Tuesday’s 2022 People’s Choice Awards.
After being presented with the People’s Champion award by her mother, Shari Johnson-Jefferson, Lizzo admitted she’d gone back and forth about accepting the award in the first place, and then gracefully turned the spotlight over to a number of activists, artists and other champions she invited up onstage.
Nicks was impressed with the selfless gesture, and she posted her appreciation Wednesday (Dec. 7) on Instagram.
“Dearest Lizzo~ In my opinion~ your presentation last night on the People’s Choice Awards was not only so beautiful and so needed~ that you get the award for being a great woman of our time,” the Fleetwood Mac legend wrote in an open letter to the Special singer on Instagram. “I was so impressed and so touched that you put that together and pulled it off. It was stunning~ and everyone heard you. You have given all women soundbites forever~ flute player, singer, songwriter, future politician…? Your name is in the stars now~ Much Love, Stevie Nicks.”
Appropriately enough for the People’s Choice Awards, Lizzo turned her acceptance speech over to the people, highlighting an impressive array of activists who are effecting real change every day.
“To be an icon isn’t about how long you’ve had your platform,” Lizzo said on stage. “Being an icon is what you do with that platform. And ever since the beginning of my career, I’ve used my platform to amplify marginalized voices. So tonight, I am sharing this honor — make some noise for the people, y’all,” she said before introducing Mary Copeny (i.e. “Little Miss Flint”), Beauty 2 the Streetz founder Shirley Raines, Women’s March Foundation president Emiliana Guereca and many more.
Just last week, Nicks penned a poignant handwritten letter to her Fleetwood Mac bandmate Christine McVie after the “Songbird” singer died at age 79.

“A few hours ago I was told that my best friend in the whole world since the first day of 1975, had passed away,” she shared in a handwritten letter posted to Twitter, alongside a tender photo of the duo. “I didn’t even know she was ill… until late Saturday night. I wanted to be in London; I wanted to get to London – but we were told to wait. So, since Saturday, one song has been swirling around me in my head, over and over and over. I thought I might possibly get to sing it to her, and so, I’m singing it to her now. I always know I would need these words one day.”
Nicks then wrote out the lyrics to a verse and the chorus from Haim’s Women in Music Pt. III track, “Hallelujah,” in which Alana Haim details the feeling of finding out that her own best friend had died. “I had a best friend but she has come to pass / One I wish I could see now / You always remind me that memories will last / These arms reach out / You were there to protect me like a shield / Long hair, running with me through the field / Everywhere, you’ve been with me all along / Why me? How’d I get this hallelujah?” Nicks wrote out the lyrics.
The 74-year-old star signed off her poignant note by writing, “See you on the other side, my love. Don’t forget me.”
McVie’s family shared the news of her death via a statement posted to Facebook, which noted that she passed away at a hospital “following a short illness.”
Fleetwood Mac also shared a band statement, in which they wrote, “She was truly one-of-a-kind, special and talented beyond measure. She was the best musician anyone could have in their band and the best friend anyone could have in their life. We were so lucky to have a life with her.”
