Rumors of a renewed partnership between Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks may be gaining momentum.
In a new video posted to social media, the guitarist offered fans an update on several projects — including a nearly finished solo album, a forthcoming documentary about Fleetwood Mac, and what he described as a growing sense of renewed connection between himself and Nicks.
Buckingham began the clip by reflecting on the year ahead. “I think 2026 is going to be a very interesting — and despite what’s going on in Washington — I think it’s going to be a very good year,” he said with a laugh. “Or maybe because of what’s going on in Washington. But I’m still very grounded in my creative life.”

The guitarist — long celebrated for his fingerstyle talents on both electric and acoustic — revealed he has been working on a new solo record for the past couple of years and said it is now nearly complete. “I’ve been working on a new solo album for the last couple of years,” he explained. “It’s one song away from being finished. That’s certainly in the future for this year.”
Buckingham also confirmed that a long-anticipated documentary about Fleetwood Mac is still in the works. The project, announced in 2024, is being directed by filmmaker Frank Marshall for the streaming platform Apple TV+.
“Fleetwood Mac has been working on a documentary for the last couple of years with Frank Marshall, who has done many wonderful documentaries,” Buckingham said. “Those are two very specific things that are waiting in the wings for this year.”

But the most intriguing moment came when he discussed the renewed attention surrounding Buckingham Nicks , the 1973 album he recorded with Nicks before the pair joined Fleetwood Mac. The record was reissued last September, making it widely available again after decades out of print.
According to Buckingham, the renewed focus on that era has helped reopen lines of communication between the two longtime collaborators. Their association fractured following Fleetwood Mac’s performance at a 2018 MusiCares event.
“Just the energy in terms of what Buckingham Nicks did, to sort of create a resurgence of connection between Stevie and myself on a larger scale — that seems to be something that’s in the air,” he said.
To celebrate the album’s reissue last year, the two appeared on the Song Exploder podcast, where they discussed the album track “Frozen Love.” Although the interviews were recorded separately, the fact that both participated was significant.
Afterward, Nicks acknowledged the two had begun reconciling. “Lindsey and I started talking about it last night. This whole thing seems really like yesterday to us.” Nicks went on to share a letter she wrote to her parents while recording Buckingham Nicks. In it, she praises Lindsey Buckingham's guitar talents, and prophesies that he will go down in history as one of the best.
Buckingham — who worked with Mac drummer Mick Fleetwood in 2024 — has stopped short of confirming any concrete plans, but suggested that whatever comes next could be meaningful.

“What that translates to specifically, I wouldn’t want to speculate yet,” he added. “But I believe with all my heart that it will translate to something good and something wonderful and something needed and something extremely appropriate.”
The comments will inevitably fuel speculation among fans about whether the pair might record together again or even revive the Buckingham Nicks project onstage.
The relationship between Buckingham and Nicks has long been one of rock’s most famously volatile partnerships, particularly after Buckingham’s 2018 dismissal from Fleetwood Mac. But signs of reconciliation have emerged in recent years. During an appearance last October on the Song Exploder podcast, Nicks confirmed that the two were once again on speaking terms.
If Buckingham’s latest remarks are any indication, that thaw may now be opening the door to new creative possibilities.
