Stevie Nicks & Lindsey Buckingham: Love Rekindled? Fans Buzz Over Instagram Clues
The Long-Feuded Duo Reunite: Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham's Decades-Long Drama
Get ready for some serious drama, folks! Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, the legendary duo from Fleetwood Mac, have finally put their decades-long feud behind them. Or so it seems. The 77-year-old songstress and her 75-year-old ex-lover-turned-bandmate shared a cryptic message on Instagram that had fans freaking out.
The Mysterious Posts
On Monday, Stevie dropped the first hint with an image of a graphic featuring lyrics from their 1973 song "Frozen Love." The post was accompanied by a single caption: "And if you go forward..." But that's not all - just 30 minutes later, Lindsey chimed in with his own Instagram post, sharing another snippet from the same song: "I'll meet you there." Cue the collective gasps and swoons from fans!
The Feud That Wouldn't End
Stevie and Lindsey's tumultuous romance began back in high school, when they met at Menlo-Atherton High School in California. The sparks flew, and they started writing songs together as a duo called Buckingham Nicks. But things took a dark turn after their breakup in 1976. The drama spilled into Fleetwood Mac's music, with Lindsey penning scathing lyrics about Stevie in tracks like "Go Your Own Way" and "Second Hand News."
The tension continued even after the band's iconic Rumours album was released in 1977. Lindsey allegedly demeaned Stevie's songwriting skills, telling her she needed him to make her songs sound decent. The singer claimed that he "hijacked" her music, and that their arguments often turned physical.
Stevie Speaks Out
In a 2009 interview with MTV, Stevie revealed the true extent of Lindsey's manipulation: "He knew it [that she was unhappy], so he really pushed my buttons through that. It was like, 'I'll make you suffer for leaving me.' And did. For years." The singer also confessed to having an affair with bandmate Mick Fleetwood in the 1970s, which further fueled the drama.
The Fallout Continues
In recent years, Stevie and Lindsey continued to clash, with Buckingham accusing Nicks of orchestrating his removal from Fleetwood Mac in 2018. But Nicks shot back, stating that she had "proactively removed" herself from the band due to a toxic environment. The two exchanged barbs on social media, with Lindsey questioning Stevie's creativity and energy level.
Could This Be the End of the Feud?
So what do these latest Instagram posts mean? Are Stevie and Lindsey finally putting their differences aside? Some fans speculate that they might be working on a new project together. Others are convinced that it's just a publicity stunt to revive Fleetwood Mac's flagging career.
