But Fleetwood Mac’s camp have now moved swiftly to crush the fantasy, telling Rolling Stone that the rumours were “categorically false” and, for good measure, “not in the realm of true.”This denial matters because Fleetwood Mac reunions aren’t just speculative clickbait. Buckingham promoted the reissue of his pre-Mac album Buckingham Nicks with Stevie Nicks, and by 2021 had made peace with Mick Fleetwood. Except Stevie Nicks herself dismissed the idea outright. She declared she could not envision Fleetwood Mac continuing without Christine McVie, the heart and voice of so many of their classics. Fleetwood Mac’s story has always been one of friction, mythology, reinvention, and, crucially, finality.
