Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham are set to reissue their iconic 1973 album, Buckingham Nicks. The announcement comes amid renewed speculation about a possible reunion with their former band, Fleetwood Mac, following a series of intriguing social media posts.
On July 17, 2025, Nicks and Buckingham shared matching posts on Instagram, igniting excitement among fans. Nicks posted a handwritten line from their song “Frozen Love,” which read: “And if you go forward…” Shortly after, Buckingham mirrored her post with the next line: “I’ll meet you there.” This playful exchange has led many to hope for a reconciliation between the two musicians, who have had a tumultuous relationship since Buckingham’s departure from Fleetwood Mac in 2018.
Billboard Teases Release Date
Further fueling speculation, a billboard featuring the controversial topless cover of the Buckingham Nicks album appeared on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles. Fans reported the sighting, noting a release date of September 19, 2025. One user on X (formerly Twitter) expressed excitement, stating: “Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham on a billboard together. Buckingham Nicks is officially happening.”
The original album, recorded at Sound City Studios in Los Angeles, was not a commercial success but played a pivotal role in Nicks and Buckingham’s careers. It led to their invitation to join Fleetwood Mac, where they achieved worldwide fame with hits like “Dreams” and “Go Your Own Way.”
Hope for Reconciliation
While the reissue is generating buzz, the dynamics within Fleetwood Mac remain complex. Drummer Mick Fleetwood, a co-founder of the band, has expressed hope for healing between Nicks and Buckingham. He told Us Weekly: “I always have a fantasy that [Stevie] and Lindsey would pal up a bit more and just say everything’s OK for them both.”
Fleetwood has been candid about the challenges he has faced since the passing of bandmate Christine McVie in November 2022. He acknowledged the emotional barriers between Nicks and Buckingham, stating: “It’s no secret, it’s no tittle-tattle that there is a brick wall there emotionally.”
Despite this, he remains optimistic about the future. “I miss playing as much as we used to,” he said, expressing his desire to collaborate with another band in 2026. He emphasized that any healing between Nicks and Buckingham does not necessarily need to culminate in a tour but would be beneficial for both artists.
As anticipation builds for the reissue of Buckingham Nicks, fans are left to ponder the potential for a reunion and the possibility of mending old wounds within one of rock music’s most storied partnerships.
