Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham announce reissue of their first album together. Take a look back at their tumultuous relationship.
"Buckingham Nicks" is the duo's only studio album from before they joined Fleetwood Mac. Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham announced on Wednesday that their 1973 album Buckingham Nicks will be reissued for the first time since the 1980s. The album will be released across all platforms on Sept. 19. Buckingham Nicks was the duo's only album release before they joined Fleetwood Mac in 1975. As of reporting, the single 'Crying in the Night' from the remastered album is already available to stream on Spotify and Apple Music. 'It stands up in a way you would hope it would, by these two kids who were pretty young to be doing that work,' Buckingham said about the album. On Monday, fans got excited after a billboard showcasing the Buckingham Nicks album cover appeared on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, less than two weeks after Fleetwood Mac celebrated its 50th anniversary. To reissue an album is a process that adjusts the sound and quality of older music for modern platforms. Rhino, the album catalogue division under Warner Music Group, says the reissued music was sourced from the original analog tapes and will now be available for fans to listen to digitally and on CDs for the first time, the Associated Press reported. Rhino is also releasing 5,000 vinyl copies and 2,000 special edition vinyl copies, which will include replica 7-inch vinyl singles for three of the songs. The announcement also comes a few days after Nicks and Buckingham posted lyrics from 'Frozen Love' off the Buckingham Nicks album on their social media accounts. The posts prompted speculation that some sort of collaboration might be in the works, which came as something of a surprise for fans familiar with the pair's tumultuous romantic history. In an October 2024 interview with Rolling Stone, Nicks said the last time she spoke to Buckingham was at Fleetwood Mac member Christine McVie's funeral in 2022. Nicks said the conversation lasted 'about three minutes.' 'I dealt with Lindsey for as long as I could," Nicks told the magazine. "You could not say that I did not give him more than 300 million chances.' In anticipation of the upcoming Buckingham Nicks reissue, here's a look back at the 57-year relationship between the two singers. Nicks's and Buckingham's relationship history: Before, during and after Fleetwood Mac Nicks and Buckingham first met in high school in 1968 in Northern California, when the pair were in a psychedelic rock band called Fritz with some of their classmates. Fritz broke up in 1972, after years of opening for performers like Ike and Tina Turner, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin, and Nicks and Buckingham decided to move to Los Angeles together to continue pursuing music careers. While in L.A., they started dating and, in 1972, released their joint album, Buckingham Nicks. According to Nicks, it was about a year later, around 1973, that their relationship started to face some hurdles. "When we moved [to Los Angeles], it was lonely. I didn't have any girlfriends. And I was the one who worked," Nicks said in a September 2014 interview with Billboard. "I had to be a waitress, and a cleaning lady, in order to support us.' In December 1974, the couple officially joined Fleetwood Mac. Nicks told the New Yorker in 2022 that the two had thought about breaking up before joining the band, but once Fleetwood Mac was in the picture, she wanted to save the relationship. "We'd only been in Fleetwood Mac for a year and a half, and we were breaking up when we joined Fleetwood Mac,' Nicks told the New Yorker. 'So we just put our relationship kind of back together, because I was smart enough to know that, if we had broken up the second month of being in Fleetwood Mac, it would have blown the whole thing.' The couple stayed together until 1976, which is when the relationship 'blew up,' as Nicks described in her Billboard interview. The breakup happened right as Fleetwood Mac was recording their second album, Rumours, for which Nicks wrote the song 'Silver Springs' about their relationship. Before the album came out in early 1977, band members Mick Fleetwood and Buckingham told Nicks the song wouldn't be on the main track list but on the B-side of the album. (Meanwhile, Buckingham's song about his own breakup with Nicks, 'Go Your Own Way,' was featured on the album.) In 1990, Nicks left the band due to frustration over fighting over the rights to 'Silver Springs,' according to Rolling Stone. Seven years later, Fleetwood Mac would reunite for the live album, The Dance, where 'Silver Springs' was featured on the main track list and would later earn a Grammy nomination. Even though it had been over a decade since they broke up, Nicks would sing 'Silver Springs' directly to Buckingham on stage during The Dance tour in 1997, rather than to the audience. (Nearly 30 years later, clips showing Nicks's 'Silver Springs' performance went viral on TikTok, and Buckingham even acknowledged them with his own video.) The last public fight between the couple was in 2018 when Buckingham was kicked out of Fleetwood Mac. The reasoning seemed ambiguous until Buckingham did a September 2021 interview with People magazine and said, 'Stevie basically gave the band an ultimatum that I either had to go or she would go.' Nicks denied Buckingham's claims and told People, 'I did not demand he be fired. Frankly, I fired myself. I proactively removed myself from the band, a situation I considered to be toxic to my well-being.' Solve the daily Crossword

Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham Tease Project With Sunset Boulevard Billboard
Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham are sparking reunion buzz after a cryptic billboard appeared on Los Angeles' Sunset Boulevard this week, seemingly teasing a long-awaited reissue of their 1973 album Buckingham Nicks. The billboard was shared on , showing the album's original cover art—featuring a topless Nicks and Buckingham—alongside their names and the date Sept. 19. The location, near Sound City Studios where the record was initially tracked, feels like a deliberate nod to the album's origins. More from Billboard Shakira & The Weeknd to Headline 2025 Global Citizen Festival in Central Park The Who Kick Off Farewell Tour in Italy, Perform First Show Since Zak Starkey Sacking Tool Announce First Hawaii Concert in Nearly 15 Years The billboard, spotted near Los Angeles' Sound City Studios where the album was originally recorded, features the iconic cover art of a topless Nicks and Buckingham alongside their names and the date Sept. 19 — a likely nod to the record's roots. Adding to the speculation, Nicks and Buckingham shared matching Instagram posts last week featuring lyrics from Buckingham Nicks cut 'Frozen Love.' Nicks posted, 'And if you go forward…' while Buckingham followed with, 'I'll meet you there,' completing a line from the song's chorus. Though neither artist has officially confirmed the reissue, a now-removed page for Buckingham Nicks briefly appeared on Rhino Records' website over the weekend, further suggesting an announcement is imminent. Parade reported the URL still exists, even though the cover art was taken down. The original Buckingham Nicks album was the duo's only release as a pair before joining Fleetwood Mac in 1975. It's been out of print for decades and has never received a digital or vinyl reissue. Bootleg versions have circulated among fans for years, and there's now hope the new release could include bonus material like alternate takes or live recordings—including a famed early version of 'Rhiannon.' While some fans are holding out hope for a joint tour, others speculate about a full Fleetwood Mac reunion—though Nicks previously revealed that the band wouldn't continue without Christine McVie, who died in 2022. Nicks previously said that the last time she spoke to her former bandmate and boyfriend was at McVie's memorial. 'The only time I've spoken to Lindsey was there, for about three minutes,' she previously told Rolling Stone. '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.' The tease also comes on the heels of Fleetwood Mac's 50th anniversary celebrations earlier this month, where Mick Fleetwood wrote on Instagram: 'It's magic then, it's magic now. What a thrill, what a thrill.' As of now, representatives for Rhino Records have declined to comment. Fans will have to wait until Sept. 19 to see whether Buckingham Nicks finally gets its long-overdue re-release.

Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham Los Angeles billboard on Sunset Boulevard teases possible upcoming project
Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham have fans wondering if a reunion is coming soon after a billboard teasing an upcoming project was spotted in Van Nuys. The billboard on Sunset Boulevard features a photo of the duo's "Buckingham Nicks" album, which was released in 1973 and the date Sept. 19. The billboard is located not far from Sound City Studios, where the album was originally recorded. Last week, both Nicks and Buckingham dropped subtle hints on their own social media accounts, posting lyrics from their song, "Frozen Love." Buckingham wrote, "I'll meet you there," and Nicks posted, "And if you go forward." The billboard has garnered speculation that a reissue of the album is coming soon. Sound City Studios also posted about the billboard, sharing excitement about the possible project. The iconic recording studio celebrated the album's 50th anniversary in 2023 with a special social media post. Sound City said that in 1973, Mick Fleetwood was visiting LA looking for a new recording studio. He went to visit Sound City Studios and heard Nicks and Buckingham recording their album. In 1975, Fleetwood asked the couple to join his band. The album was also featured in a documentary about the studio, highlighting the importance it played in some of music's biggest projects.
