Lindsey Buckingham Reportedly Doused in Santa Monica Attack
Former Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham was allegedly attacked in Santa Monica after a woman confronted him during an appointment and doused him with an unknown substance, according to a report citing law enforcement sources. The incident was reported on April 1, and authorities were said to be working to locate the suspect.
Lindsey Buckingham was allegedly ambushed by a woman who “doused him with an unknown substance,” TMZ reported, citing a separate NBC4 report that said the woman fled the scene but is known to police and may be connected to prior incidents involving the musician.
The report said Buckingham did not appear to be physically injured. It also said police believe they know the identity of the woman involved and expected to track her down and make an arrest, while noting that Buckingham allegedly recognised her from earlier encounters.
The alleged attack comes as Buckingham has remained a frequent topic of Fleetwood Mac discussion, including speculation about future activity after he addressed questions about a possible band reunion in recent months.
No further details about the substance involved or potential charges were included in the initial report, and representatives for Buckingham and law enforcement had not publicly responded to requests for comment at the time of publication. Police activity in the coming days is expected to clarify whether the case will be treated as an isolated assault or part of a broader pattern of alleged stalking.
