Wait a minute! Are Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham getting back together? Yes, the iconic and brilliant duo behind some of Fleetwood Mac’s greatest hits is currently going viral after they have fans buzzing with anticipation. Why? Because, well, they have now shared a series of cryptic posts on Instagram! Safe to say these posts have left many wondering if they could possibly reunite in near future!
A Cryptic Connection
The whole ordeal began after Nicks shared quite a mysterious Instagram post, which featured a set of handwritten lyrics that read, “And if you go forward…” Immediately, several began to speculate that the singer was announcing that she had a new single coming out soon. But that’s when things got interesting, because just a few hours later, Buckingham posted a follow-up with the continuation of the line! The lyrics went on to say, “I’ll meet you there.” And in case you’re wondering why these lyrics are a bit familiar, yes, they indeed come from the hit, “Frozen Love.” It’s a popular song from their 1973 album “Buckingham Nicks,” long before their time in Fleetwood Mac.
Several began to freak out about what was occurring after their connection was definitely undeniable for a long period of time. Fans quickly took to social media to speculate what the cryptic lyrics actually meant, especially since they were so familiar with each other. “No, because what is going on in this house?” singer and actress Rachel Zegler commented on Nicks’ Instagram.
“One fan exclaimed, “I’ve waited for 10 years for this song to be released. I’m reeaaadddyyyy,” as the possibility of a reunion, whether personal or musical, seemed to be hinted at.
Mick Fleetwood Joins the Conversation
To add even more fuel to the fire, Fleetwood Mac drummer Mick Fleetwood weighed in by posting a video on his own Instagram page. In the clip, he can be seen enjoying the song with the caption, “Magic then, magic now.” Of course, this went on to add only more speculation, with several believing that this might not just be a new release but rather a tour in the making.
As one fan put it, “This is my dream.. to hear them sing this together live.. Stevie and Lindsey have always been magic.. Let’s make that happen again!!” The excitement surrounding this cryptic exchange is more than palpable, as fans, and let’s be real, we too, are hoping that the once-bitter estrangement is finally over.
The Tumultuous Past
For those who may not know, Nicks and Buckingham’s history is more than a little complicated, to say the least. They joined Fleetwood Mac back in 1975, bringing a new dynamic to the group thanks to their undeniable harmonies and songwriting. However, their personal relationship, which quickly turned into a romantic one at one time, deteriorated as the years went by.
In 1976, the two broke up. But they decided to keep things civil and continued working together in the band. Unfortunately, their rocky relationship was infamously marked by public spats. Despite the drama, their creative chemistry was undeniable, and Fleetwood Mac went on to produce timeless albums. But the drama went on to take another quick turn back in 2018 after it was announced that Buckingham was fired from the band, and expectedly. So yes, the fallout between the two was reportedly a major factor in this decision. Since then, it has been stated that the band hasn’t had any contact since then, which makes this possible reunion very intriguing and very special to some.
What’s Next?
So, what exactly could this cryptic post mean, and are we getting something more than we are expecting? Could this be a tease for a new album between once lovers, once enemies, and now friends again? It’s safe to say that fans have long hoped for a reunion between not only these two but the whole band, so it could possibly be a move that could easily break records.
I guess for now, all we can do is wait and see what this dynamic duo has in store. Whether it’s a tour, a record, or just a new, revamped version of their albums, we’ll take it all. Of course, only time would tell, but one thing is certain, the magic between these musicians is definitely far from over.
Is this the start of something new?
