Lindsey Buckingham has ended his feud with Mick Fleetwood to work on Fleetwood’s new solo album. Swedish songwriter and producer Carl Falk posted on Threads last month revealing the news. He shared a photo of Buckingham and Fleetwood in the studio.
“Slightly unreal moment to sit with Lindsey Buckingham and Mick Fleetwood to play Lindsey the album we have been working on,” Falk wrote. “And to see his genuine happiness for Mick to finally do his own album and offering to play guitar and to sing on it. Can’t wait to finish this one.”
Falk posted more images from the sessions, including one captioned “Mick and Lindsey together again, what a flawless guitar player” and another with Fleetwood and Adam Granduciel, frontman with Philadelphia rockers The War On Drugs. Most recently, Falk posted a video of himself jamming with Buckingham in the studio.
In 2018, longtime guitarist and vocalist Lindsey Buckingham was fired from Fleetwood Mac, marking a dramatic turning point for the iconic band. The dismissal came after internal tensions reached a breaking point, reportedly over disagreements regarding the band’s upcoming tour schedule. Buckingham had requested a short delay to promote his solo work, but other members, especially Stevie Nicks, opposed the idea.
According to court documents later filed by Buckingham in a lawsuit against the band, he was abruptly informed of his firing by the band’s manager, Irving Azoff. Buckingham claimed that Nicks gave the group an ultimatum: either he would go, or she would. The lawsuit, which was eventually settled, revealed that Buckingham had not anticipated being let go and felt blindsided by the decision.
The band quickly replaced him with Mike Campbell of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and Neil Finn of Crowded House. Despite the fallout, Buckingham expressed disappointment rather than bitterness, stating in interviews that the split was more about personal conflicts than musical differences. Fleetwood Mac has a long history of internal drama, but Buckingham’s 2018 firing underscored just how deep those tensions still ran—even after decades of legendary success.
