’Our relationship has always been volatile,’ Stevie Nicks said. ’We were never married, but we might as well have been.’
Just because singer-guitarist Lindsey Buckingham is going his own way, doesn’t mean the arena rock-filling behemoth Fleetwood Mac has to stop anytime soon. Just a few weeks after it was revealed that Buckingham had parted ways with the group over scheduling conflicts, the other members of Fleetwood Mac have announced a massive new tour with Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell and Crowded House singer Neil Finn taking his place.
In an illuminating interview with Rolling Stone, the members of Fleetwood Mac talked about soldiering on without Buckingham. “Words like ‘fired’ are ugly references as far as I’m concerned,” drummer Mick Fleetwood said. “Not to hedge around, but we arrived at the impasse of hitting a brick wall. Stevie Nicks added. “Our relationship has always been volatile. We were never married, but we might as well have been. Some couples get divorced after 40 years. They break their kids’ hearts and destroy everyone around them because it’s just hard. This is sad for me, but I want the next 10 years of my life to be really fun and happy.”
Tickets for the tour go on sale Friday, May 4th at 10 AM on the band’s official website. You can check out the full-list of dates below.
