Stevie Nicks has definitively ruled out any possibility of a Fleetwood Mac reunion following the death of Christine McVie. In a new interview with Mojo magazine, Nicks stated: “Without Christine, no can do. There is no chance of putting Fleetwood Mac back together in any way. Without her, it just couldn’t work.”
Nicks reflected on McVie’s final days, revealing that she received a call from McVie’s family after the singer suffered a stroke. Nicks planned to fly to see her but was advised not to, as her family was unsure if McVie would survive. McVie died the following day. “I wanted to go there and sit on her bed and sing to her – which definitely would have made her pass away faster. But I needed to be with her. And I didn’t get to do that. So that was very hard for me. I didn’t get to say goodbye,” Nicks said.
Nicks also cast doubt on the possibility of a reunion with Lindsey Buckingham, citing his health issues. “Even if I thought I could work with Lindsey again, he’s had some health problems. It’s not for me to say, but I’m not sure if Lindsey could do the kind of touring that Fleetwood Mac does, where you go out for a year and a half. It’s so demanding,” she explained. Despite this, Buckingham expressed interest in a reunion earlier this year, saying he would rejoin “in a heartbeat”.
Nicks is currently on tour, with a headline show at London’s BST Hyde Park scheduled for July 12. She recently cancelled a solo show in Pennsylvania due to illness.
