Lindsey Buckingham has confirmed that he and Stevie Nicks are in regular contact, telling E! News that the two are "talking all the time now." Buckingham made the remarks at Variety's Power of Young Hollywood event in Los Angeles on 5 August 2026, in an interview published the following day. E! News

The guitarist and singer described the band's work on an upcoming Fleetwood Mac documentary as "a very circular healing process for all of us." Apple announced production on the film, directed by Frank Marshall and featuring the surviving band members, with a release expected in 2027. According to Billboard, the documentary will explore the dynamic between Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, and the late Christine McVie. Billboard

Buckingham addressed the 2019 rift that led to his temporary firing from Fleetwood Mac, saying it has been "healed and worked out" and that "nobody was happy about" what happened. He was dismissed from the band's 2018 tour lineup, sued Fleetwood Mac over the removal, and settled the lawsuit in December 2018. Billboard

The interview is the latest sign of thawing relations between the two former bandmates and romantic partners, whose personal and creative friction has shaped Fleetwood Mac's story for five decades. In October 2025, Buckingham and Nicks appeared together on the Song Exploder podcast to discuss their song "Frozen Love," after unearthing their 1973 duo album Buckingham Nicks. A reissue of that album reached No. 3 on the Billboard Top Album Sales chart — a chart tracking pure album sales, not streaming equivalents — in September. Consequence

Earlier in 2026, Rolling Stone published a feature headlined "Lindsey Buckingham Has Made Peace With Stevie Nicks," mapping out five possible scenarios for what the pair might do next. Buckingham told Rolling Stone in March that his 2026 plans included a new solo album and the Fleetwood Mac documentary, and he strongly hinted that he could rekindle his creative relationship with Nicks this year.

At the E! News event, Buckingham offered a forward-looking tease: "Next year should be a pretty interesting year." He said future projects with his bandmates would "reveal themselves." Billboard

For fans, the comments carry an obvious question: does "talking all the time" point toward new music or a live reunion? Buckingham did not specify. Mick Fleetwood and Stevie Nicks have both said in separate interviews that Fleetwood Mac is "done" following Christine McVie's death in 2022. Buckingham's latest remarks do not contradict that directly, but they suggest the relationships within the band are not frozen — even if the band itself is.

Either way, the documentary is moving forward, the Buckingham Nicks reissue proved there is still an audience for the pair's earliest work, and two people who once stopped speaking are now in regular touch. What that leads to, Buckingham is keeping to himself for now.
