In that regard, her current partner is the perfect musical compadre. Because she was gone for so long.’įor her part, Nicks can’t conceive of retiring. And that’s why Fleetwood Mac will probably go back out next year and do a farewell tour,’ Nicks reveals.
She needed to stand in front of those keyboards and write songs and play. ‘Christine had been gone for 16 years and she had done one tour and she needed to work. The English keyboard player rejoined Fleetwood Mac in 2014 after a decade-and-a-half’s retirement in Kent. She understands why Christine was keen to make the album. And they decided to go into the studio and I said: “I’m not going. ‘It probably would have been, but I had just given three years to Fleetwood Mac and I wanted two years off. Which begs the question: if Nicks had contributed, would it have been a Fleetwood Mac album? The band haven’t made an album since 2003’s Say You Will, so it feels like time. John McVie (Christine’s ex-husband) and Mick Fleetwood also play on the album. Stevie Nicks (left) and Chrissie Hynde perform on stage at Viejas Arena in San Diego, California I’m sure it’s pretty great, because why wouldn’t it be?’ And when they were finishing it, I was on this last tour. ‘I was in Nashville making 24 Karat Gold. ‘I was gone when they were doing it,’ she says. When we speak, Nicks hasn’t heard the Buckingham/McVie album. But Nicks’ and Buckingham’s songwriting contribution – not to mention their split, as famously documented in their songs on 1977’s 40-million-selling album Rumours – helped rocket-power Fleetwood Mac to Seventies rock’s mega-league. Their duo act didn’t last, and neither did their relationship. This legendary ‘lost’ 1973 album was made by Stevie and Lindsey – then a couple – before the Californians joined a mouldering English blues band led by drummer Mick Fleetwood and assisted by bass player John McVie. In the set-up and billing, it feels like a successor to Buckingham Nicks. It’s ostensibly a duo album from Mac guitarist Buckingham and keyboard player/singer McVie. But more pressing is the imminent release of Lindsey Buckingham/Christine McVie.
