Lindsey Buckingham Talks New Fleetwood Mac Album: 'It's All On Stevie Nicks'

Lindsey Buckingham has talked about the possibilities of a new Fleetwood Mac album, stating that it would only be possible if singer Stevie Nicks was up for it.
The band recently dropped jaws and wowed audiences with a series of UK shows, which included a three-night run at the London O2 Arena, which saw them reunited with former member Christine McVie.
The band still have a few more UK shows to get through and will be travelling across Europe, Australasia and North America over the next few months, and with the band on such sweet form right now, an album wouldn't go amiss with their legions of fans.
But, for any such LP to come together, it would have to have the approval of Stevie Nicks, and Lindsey Buckingham reckons the chances of a new record rely solely on her. He told M Music and Musicians:
“She had a wonderful experience making that album. She hasn't said this – this is just me – but, knowing Stevie, she's probably thinking, 'If I have to write five new songs, do I want to give them to Fleetwood Mac?' I think she's feeling a bit protective and territorial about the experience she had doing her solo project. And I can totally relate to that.
"The way we do things is always a political minefield. If it's not Stevie, it's me; someone is always causing trouble. I know Warner Brothers is dying to get an album from us, even though we're not signed to them anymore. Stevie needs to come to the table with some material. In order to contemplate a new album, she has to want to do it."
Stevie Nicks did once say that McVie joining them on stage was less likely than an asteroid hitting earth, so however she feels about a new album, we could eventually be treated to one. Would you like to see it come together? Leave us a comment in the box below!
