Stevie Nicks Says She and Lindsey Buckingham Are Talking Again After Yearslong Rift

The disclosure came in separate podcast interviews tied to the 1973 album’s September reissue, signaling a tentative thaw rather than a Fleetwood Mac reunion.

Overview

  • On a new Song Exploder episode recorded as separate interviews, Nicks said, “Lindsey and I started talking about it last night,” confirming renewed contact.
  • They revisited their origins from high school to the band Fritz and described how producer Keith Olsen steered them toward the Buckingham Nicks duo.
  • Discussing “Frozen Love,” Nicks framed herself as primary songwriter and Buckingham as arranger-producer, a division both affirmed on the podcast.
  • Nicks clarified a long-misheard lyric as “Fate gave you me for a lover,” apologized on air, and said she would call Buckingham later.
  • The Buckingham Nicks reissue, out of print for decades, arrived Sept. 19 via Rhino’s High Fidelity series and debuted at No. 3 on Billboard Top Album Sales with 30,000 U.S. copies sold.
