Dream-casting a Fleetwood Mac biopic is fun, but let’s not pretend anyone can replicate Stevie’s voice. That’s a one-of-a-kind disaster waiting to happen.
- 匿名タマネギ (2025-07-23)
If they tour, I hope they bring back the ’70s outfits. Stevie’s shawls and Lindsey’s denim—iconic. But also, therapy bills backstage must be astronomical.
- 匿名ベーコン (2025-07-23)
Denim? Try that shirtless album cover. Age 75 and still pulling it off. Respect.
- 匿名ツナ (2025-07-23)
Therapy? They ARE the therapy. Watching them argue on stage is cheaper than my shrink.

Fleetwood Mac fans starving for content will take anything at this point. Still, a reissue of their 1973 album feels like nostalgia bait. Where’s the new music?
“Buckingham Nicks” Reissue Confirmed: Why It Took 50 Years
The legendary 1973 album “Buckingham Nicks” by Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham is finally getting an official re-release on September 19, 2025. This cult classic, recorded at Sound City Studios, served as the blueprint for their later success with Fleetwood Mac. The album’s original cover featuring the duo shirtless became iconic, though it was controversial at the time.
A mysterious billboard appeared at 7365 Sunset Boulevard confirming the reissue date, strategically placed near where the album was originally recorded. The masters were reportedly tied up in legal complexities due to Buckingham and Nicks both owning rights to the recordings.
Cryptic Social Media Posts Hint at Deeper Reconciliation
The reissue announcement followed tantalizing social media exchanges where Nicks posted handwritten lyrics “And if you go forward…” which Buckingham completed with “I’ll meet you there.” These lines come from their early song “Frozen Love,” suggesting a symbolic mending of fences between the former partners.
Mick Fleetwood’s Mysterious Involvement
Adding fuel to speculation, Fleetwood Mac drummer Mick Fleetwood posted a video just days earlier listening intently to “Frozen Love” before calling it “unbelievable.” The timing suggests possible behind-the-scenes collaboration between all original band members.
The social media breadcrumbs strongly indicate this reissue represents more than just archival material – it may signal repaired creative bridges.
Will There Be a Buckingham Nicks Tour in 2025?
While no tour has been announced, industry insiders note the reissue timing coincides neatly with the concert calendar. Many speculate the duo could launch a limited theater tour similar to their early ’70s shows, potentially including:
- Intimate acoustic sets
- Stories behind the songs
- Special Fleetwood Mac segments
The billboard placement in Los Angeles – essentially the duo’s spiritual home – suggests promotional strategy is already underway. Tour rumors intensified when Buckingham was recently photographed in studio with Fleetwood.
How This Could Lead to Full Fleetwood Mac Reunion
The Buckingham Nicks reissue represents the first joint project from the former couple since Buckingham’s controversial 2018 dismissal from Fleetwood Mac. If this collaboration proves successful, it could pave the way for:
| Scenario | Likelihood |
|---|---|
| One-off reunion concerts | High |
| New studio recordings | Medium |
| Full world tour | Low |
Christine McVie’s passing leaves a creative void in the band that Buckingham and Nicks might naturally fill together. Their renewed willingness to collaborate suggests healed wounds from past conflicts.
Dream Setlist for Potential Buckingham Nicks Shows
Fans are already speculating what magical moments could emerge if the duo performs together again. A likely setlist might include:
- “Crying in the Night” – Buckingham Nicks deep cut
- “Landslide” – Early incarnation
- “Rhiannon” – With original arrangement
- “Go Your Own Way” – Acoustic duet version
The special appeal would be hearing their Fleetwood Mac classics reinterpreted through the raw, unfiltered lens of their original duo dynamic. Bootlegs of early performances suggest these songs took dramatically different forms before being polished for mass consumption with Fleetwood Mac.
Why Now? The Perfect Timing Explained
Several factors make 2025 ideal for this reissue:
- 50-year anniversary of the album
- Current vinyl revival trend
- Fleetwood Mac’s enduring streaming popularity
- Both artists currently between projects
The music industry has changed enough that Buckingham and Nicks now maintain full creative control – something that likely prevented earlier reissues. Younger generations discovering Fleetwood Mac on TikTok creates new market potential.
Remaster vs Remix: What Fans Can Expect
The reissue will reportedly include:
- Digitally remastered original tracks
- Never-before-heard demos
- 1970s live recordings
- New liner notes from both artists
Unlike many archival releases, insiders suggest Buckingham and Nicks rejected overt modernization, wanting to preserve the album’s authentic analog warmth. The original recording techniques at Sound City gave it distinctive character that digital recreation might compromise.
A Buckingham Nicks reunion album? About damn time! 🎸 But let’s be real, their live chemistry is either magical or a trainwreck—no in-between. Touring together again? Bold move.
Trainwreck? More like legendary drama fuel. I’d pay top dollar just to see Stevie side-eye Lindsey mid-performance.
