Nicks and Buckingham Reconnect to Announce Remastered 'Buckingham Nicks'

Their first contact since 2018 has fueled speculation of a thaw in their decades-long estrangement.

Nicks and Buckingham, pictured performing in 2013, hadn't spoken much from 2018 until 2022, when bandmate Christine McVie died.

Overview

  • The duo’s 1973 album Buckingham Nicks will be remastered from original analog tapes and released by Rhino Records on September 19 across vinyl, CD and streaming platforms.
  • Last week’s matching social media posts exchanging “Frozen Love” lyrics mark Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham’s first mutual communication since his 2018 departure from Fleetwood Mac.
  • Buckingham Nicks originally flopped but attracted Mick Fleetwood’s attention and paved the way for Nicks and Buckingham to join Fleetwood Mac in December 1974.
  • Fans have seized on the joint announcement as a possible sign of reconciliation between the pair after decades of personal and creative tension.
  • With Christine McVie’s 2022 death closing the door on a full-band reunion, Nicks and Buckingham are unlikely to reunite Fleetwood Mac but may continue collaborating on archival projects.
