As he prepares to release Lindsey Buckingham, his first solo album in a decade, on Friday, September 17th, his edges seem to have smoothed a bit in the wake of a series of perspective-shifting events: the bypass and then the pandemic, of course, but also the death, in July 2020, of Peter Green, the Fleetwood Mac founder, and Buckingham's recent separation from Kristen Messner, his wife of 21 years and the mother of his three children. "Somebody in the hospital was going, 'Oops! Hope he doesn't find me!'"īuckingham, who is now 71, may be playing a bit on what he knows is his prickly, self-serious reputation, but throughout a series of conversations he is remarkably open and quick with the occasional self-deprecating joke. But fortunately, from his serene California living room one Saturday afternoon in August, Buckingham can now recall it all with a full-voiced laugh. A similar fate befell their father at 56.)īuckingham found out the bad news when he tried to speak and realised he couldn't raise his voice above a hoarse whisper: someone had been "a little rough with the breathing tube," as he puts it, and damaged his vocal cords – not just any vocal cords but those of the one-time Fleetwood Mac yelper responsible for such modern pop standards as Go Your Own Way, Second Hand News and Never Going Back Again.īuckingham's edges seem to have smoothed a bit in the wake of a series of perspective-shifting events: his bypass, the pandemic, and also the death of Peter Green, and Buckingham's recent separation from Kristen Messner, his wife of 21 years and the mother of his three childrenįor months he wasn't sure if the injury was temporary or permanent.

The good news was that he'd had a cardiac event at arguably the best possible time and place, while under anesthesia for a minor medical procedure. I never want her to ever go out of my life again, and that has nothing to do with music and everything to do with her and I as friends.One day in early February 2019, Lindsey Buckingham woke up to a wallop of a surprise: he had just had a heart attack, followed by an emergency triple bypass. With her back, there’s more of a feminine touch to the whole thing. “She brings the funny back into Fleetwood Mac. “When we went on the road, I realized what an amazing friend she’d been of mine that I had lost and didn’t realize the whole consequences of it till now,” Nicks told the Star Tribune. Though they spent time without seeing each other, Nicks quickly realized the value of her friendship with McVie upon her return. Stevie Nicks realized the value of her friendship with Christine McVie when she returned After some consideration, McVie was back. “We took off, and the feeling was, ‘God, I’m free!’” she told Elle.Īfter playing a show in Hawaii, McVie and Fleetwood flew to Los Angeles together and reunited with the rest of Fleetwood Mac. In a stroke of luck, Fleetwood had plans to visit London, and the two decided to fly back to Hawaii together.
McVie chose Maui, where Fleetwood was living. They encouraged her to buy a plane ticket to anywhere she wanted, but she didn’t actually have to get on the plane.
