Stevie nicks on Fleetwood Mac’s future: “No Plans to Reunite” without Christine McVie

Stevie Nicks has made it clear: there are no plans for⁤ Fleetwood Mac ⁢to reunite without her “music soulmate,” Christine mcvie.⁢ The ⁤legendary singer, speaking in a recent interview, addressed ‍the future of the iconic band, confirming that the lineup that last ⁤toured ⁤in 2019 is⁢ unlikely to take the‌ stage again.

The band’s final performance, though not officially billed as such, was a ⁤brief set at the MusiCares event at Radio City music‌ Hall in‍ january 2018.‌ This particular⁢ performance, though, was reportedly not a pleasant⁢ experience for the band members.

the ⁢Departure of Lindsey‍ Buckingham

Nicks ⁣candidly discussed the circumstances surrounding Lindsey buckingham’s exit from the band. “That’s when he wasn’t very nice to anybody; he wasn’t very nice to harry Styles,”‌ Nicks ⁤recalled of Buckingham in⁤ an expansive rolling⁤ stone ⁣interview last‍ fall. She emphasized her⁣ patience,⁣ stating, “I dealt with Lindsey for as long as I could. ⁢You could not say that I did⁣ not give ‌him more ​than 300 million chances.”

Following ⁤this ​period, Fleetwood Mac officially fired​ Buckingham. They then replaced him⁤ with Mike Campbell, the former guitarist of Tom Petty and the ⁤Heartbreakers, and Neil‍ Finn of⁤ Crowded House.

The End of⁢ an Era

The final show of ⁢that particular Fleetwood Mac tour took place in November 2019. Tragically, Christine McVie, a cornerstone ⁣of the band’s sound and Nicks’s close friend, passed away in November 2022.

As Stevie Nicks herself stated, ​she has no intention of reuniting the band without McVie. She referred to McVie as⁢ her⁣ “music soulmate” and “best ⁢girlfriend.” Despite the‌ absence of these key members,‍ Mick Fleetwood has expressed that the magic of Fleetwood Mac continues to live on.
