Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham Rekindle Friendship After 'Song Exploder' Conversation
The tumultuous past between Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham appears to be thawing out. The former Fleetwood Mac duo revisited their history while discussing the making of "Frozen Love," a track featured on the reissued album "Buckingham Nicks." In an intimate conversation, they revealed that their frosty relationship has warmed up, with Nicks admitting throughout her segment that she and Buckingham are now on friendly terms.
Their journey began when they attended a youth group social at Menlo-Atherton High School in 1966. It was there that Buckingham backed Nicks on "California Dreamin'." However, they didn't formally meet until two years later, when they joined the band Fritz. The duo's early success opening for Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin led producer Keith Olsen to suggest they become a duo instead.
The partnership, though initially marked by disappointment – including being unable to secure a record deal as part of Fritz – proved pivotal in their future endeavors. It was during this tumultuous time that Nicks and Buckingham found themselves drawn together, ultimately leading to romance.
In reflecting on the songwriting process for "Frozen Love," Buckingham explained how he transformed the track without overstepping Nicks' creative bounds. Nicks described their relationship as a paradox of ups and downs, but one that produced exceptional work worth enduring the hardships.
The line "Hate gave you me for a lover" took an unexpected turn during the interview, with Nicks jokingly apologizing to Buckingham after realizing she originally intended it to be about fate instead. This shared laugh underscores their ongoing amicable rapport.
Their reunion has provided new hope among fans anticipating a potential Fleetwood Mac reunion in the near future, especially as the 50th anniversary of "Rumours" draws closer in 2027.

i mean who wouldn't want to see fleetwood mac back together? the way stevie nicks joked about hating lindsey buckingham for a lover is just so adorbs 
anyway, it's nice to hear that even after all these years they can still have fun and laugh together. maybe this is a sign of something bigger? 
Those early days of struggling as a duo might've been tough, but they clearly made it work. And who knows, maybe their relationship even influenced the music they created together - all that ups and downs (or should I say, highs and lows?) probably led to some incredible songwriting moments!

. It's like they've learned that sometimes you gotta let go of the hate and just focus on creating something beautiful with someone who was once a source of pain. And I think that's what makes this whole thing so inspiring - they're not dwelling on the past, but rather using it as fuel for their future creativity 
. It's like Stevie said, "Hate gave you me for a lover"... but now she's choosing to see it as "love gave us each other" 
. and the fact that they're now on good terms is pretty cool, especially after all the drama they've been through over the years 
- 50th anniversary of "Rumours" in 2027 can't come soon enough! Bring it on, I say!
, with "Rumours" being one of the best-selling albums of all time (over 40 million copies sold in the US alone) 
.
At the height of Fleetwood Mac's success, they would often perform without any lyrics or visual aids, relying solely on their vocal talents to convey the emotions in their songs 
.
