Cue βSilver Springs.β
Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham are officially reuniting β sort of βΒ after sparking reunion rumors on social media.
The musicians have revealed that their 1973 album βBuckingham Nicksβ is getting reissued for the digital age.
The record will be re-released for the first time in the US since the early 1980s.
On Wednesday, Nicks, 77, and Buckingham, 75, released a joint Instagram video of a billboard advertising the album on Sunset Strip in Los Angeles, Calif.
βBuckingham Nicks is available for pre-order now, out September 19th. β¨ βCrying In The Nightβ is yours now. Listen at the link in bio,β they captioned the post.
Fans flipped out over the news, considering Nicks and Buckingham had been at odds in recent years.
βFinally!!! I LOVE Long Distance Winner!!! This is awesome news!!β one person wrote.
βYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS! PRAISE THE MUSIC GODS,β a second added.
Last week, Nicks and Buckingham posted coordinated Instagram posts that sent social media users into a frenzy.
The pair began following each other on the app before NicksΒ posted a handwritten lyricΒ from βFrozen Love,β a love song off of βBuckingham Nicks.β
The image read, βAnd if you go forward β¦β
Shortly after, Buckingham completed the lyric with his ownΒ handwritten message that read, βIβll meet you there.β
The duo first met as high school students near Palo Alto, Calif., in the 1960s. Buckingham was in his rock band Fritz, and asked Nicks to join as their lead singer.
After leaving the group, they launched their own band, Buckingham Nicks.
Their album flopped, however, and they were dropped from their contract at Polydor Records.
Soon after, they moved to Los Angeles.
In 1974, Nicks and Buckingham were invited to join Fleetwood Mac but split romantically while recording the bandβs 1977 album, βRumours.β
Both exes remained in Fleetwood MacΒ until Buckingham was fired following a behind-the-scenes altercation in 2018.
Buckingham and Nicks werenβt the only ones in the band with relationship woes. Around the same time as their late β70s breakup, Fleetwood MacβsΒ John McVie and Christine McVie ended their marriage.
Nicks went on to write βDreams,β while Buckingham penned βGo Your Own Wayβ on the groupβs βRumoursβ album.
Over the years, the former bandmates have thrown jabs at one another.
In 1997, Nicks toldΒ Rolling StoneΒ that she βresentedβ the lyrics that Buckingham wrote in βGo Your Own Way,β with lines insinuating the singer was βpacking up, shacking upβ with different men after their breakup.
βHe knew it wasnβt true. It was just an angry thing that he said. Every time those words would come onstage, I wanted to go over and kill him,β explained the vocalist. βHe knew it, so he really pushed my buttons through that. It was like, βIβll make you suffer for leaving me.ββ
By 2018, things came to a head when Fleetwood Mac was honored at that yearβs MusiCares benefit gala.
An argument ensued, ending withΒ BuckinghamΒ being firedΒ from the band.
He was replaced by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell, as well as Neil Finn.
Buckingham and Nicks allegedly didnβt talk againΒ until the celebration of life for McVie. The keyboardistΒ diedΒ in 2022 at age 79.
βThe only time Iβve spoken to Lindsey was there, for about three minutes,β the Grammy winner toldΒ Rolling StoneΒ in 2024. βI dealt with Lindsey for as long as I could. You could not say that I did not give him more than 300 million chances.β
In March, Buckingham reunited withΒ another Fleetwood Mac member, Mick Fleetwood.
The guitarist sat in on studio sessions with the bandβs namesake drummer, 78, who is working on a new solo album.
Swedish producer Carl Falk spoke about the mini reunionΒ on Threads.
βSlightly unreal moment to sit with Lindsey Buckingham and Mick Fleetwood to play Lindsey the album we have been working on,β he wrote. βAnd to see his genuine happiness for Mick to finally do his own album and offering to play guitar and to sing on it. Canβt wait to finish this one.β
