Just a couple of years ago, any sort of reconciliation between Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham felt like an absolute impossibility. They briefly interacted at a memorial event for Christine McVie in January 2023, but otherwise had no communication since Buckingham was removed from Fleetwood Mac in 2018, sparking a legally battle that was eventually settled out of court.  “The only time I’ve spoken to Lindsey was [at McVie’s memorial], for about three minutes,” Nicks told Rolling Stone in 2024. “I dealt with Lindsey for as long as I could.
