Mick Fleetwood Mulls Fleetwood Mac Reunion in New Interview
Is Mick Fleetwood contemplating a farewell tour for Fleetwood Mac?
When asked about this possibility, Fleetwood said he envisions a tour with an extended hand to past and current members of the band–including Lindsey Buckingham.
“Strange things can happen,” says Fleetwood. “I look at Fleetwood Mac as a huge family. Everyone plays an important role in our history, even someone like [early Seventies] guitarist Bob Welch, who was huge and sometimes gets forgotten. Lindsey’s position in Fleetwood Mac will, for obvious reasons, never been forgotten, as it should never be forgotten.”
“My vision of things happening in the future is really far-reaching,” he continues. “Would I love to think that [reunion] could happen? Yeah. I’d love to think that all of us could be healed, and also respect the people who are in the band, Neil Finn and Michael Campbell.”
As for Buckingham, there are several factors involved, including his strained relationship with Stevie Nicks.
“I can’t speak for the dynamic with Stevie and him,” says Fleetwood. “I don’t even need to protect it,” he tells Rolling Stone. “It’s so known that they’re chalk and cheese in so many ways, and yet not.”
His relationship with Buckingham is a tad better, he said.
“I know for a fact that I intend to make music and play again with Lindsey,” he says. “I would love that. It doesn’t have to be in Fleetwood Mac. And Fleetwood Mac is such a strange story. All the players in the play are able to talk and speak for themselves. Somehow, I would love the elements that are not healed to be healed. I love the fantasy that we could cross that bridge and everyone could leave with creative, holistic energy, and everyone could be healed with grace and dignity.”
