Longtime Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham has teamed up with former bandmate Mick Fleetwood once again, with the pair reuniting in the recording studio recently.

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.
