With Christine McVie long gone from Fleetwood Mac's touring lineup, the show is basically an ongoing dialogue between former lovers Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks.
Although Fleetwood Mac's current tour comes on the heels of the 35th anniversary of 1977's Rumours set -- they're actually spotlighting it's 1979 followup, Tusk, in the current shows.
With Fleetwood Mac back on the road and playing new material for the first time in a decade, fans have reason to hope that the group's on-and-off momentum over the past few years might regain some measure of consistency. Those hopes should be reinforced by comments Lindsey Buckingham made in a recent interview with 'Rolling Stone.'
Stevie Nicks says working as a waitress and cleaning lady while living in poverty drove her to put her foot down and demand she and Lindsey Buckingham join Fleetwood Mac in the 1970's.
It's a little weird and unseemly, given how long ago it all went down, but the behind-the-scenes breakups that plagued (and perhaps fueled) Fleetwood Mac's classic 'Rumours' album remain a topic of intense fascination for many -- which is why Stevie Nicks delved once more into the end of her affair with Lindsey Buckingham during a recent sit-down with Oprah Winfrey.
