Does this mean once the pandemic is under control, there might be a tour with Buckingham back in the band? “Strange things can happen,” Mick says. “I look at Fleetwood Mac as a huge family. Everyone plays an important role in our history, even someone like [early Seventies] guitarist Bob Welch, who was huge and sometimes gets forgotten. Lindsey’s position in Fleetwood Mac will, for obvious reasons, never been forgotten, as it should never be forgotten.” He adds, "Would I love to think that [reunion] could happen? Yeah. I’d love to think that all of us could be healed, and also respect the people who are in the band, Neil Finn and Michael Campbell.”
There are a lot of factors involved, of course, and the biggest hurdle is Lindsey's contentious relationship with Stevie Nicks that Mick describes as "chalk and cheese." There are also John and Christine McVie, the latter of whom intimated they were ready for retirement but then walked back what she said. Mick has hope, though. "Somehow, I would love the elements that are not healed to be healed. I love the fantasy that we could cross that bridge and everyone could leave with creative, holistic energy, and everyone could be healed with grace and dignity.”
Stay tuned.
