Fleetwood Mac is never, ever getting back together.
Rocker Stevie Nicks has revealed in a new interview with Mojo that the death of band member Christine McVie in 2022 was a "devastating" loss. Nicks recalled McVie sudden stroke and her subsequent passing. "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,” she said.
But mostly, Nicks said that after McVie's death, the show can no longer go on for Fleetwood Mac.
“Without Christine, no can do,” she said. “There is no chance of putting Fleetwood Mac back together in any way. Without her, it just couldn’t work.”
Nicks continued that the band was not in shape for the kind of reunion that required a tour, mentioning health issues with guitarist Lindsey Buckingham, who had open heart surgery in 2019.
“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 half. It’s so demanding,” she said.
The singer, who has a string of European tour dates this show said, “I do ["Landslide"] and we have beautiful video montage of me and Chris. I can never look at it, though, when I’m singing, because I’ll just get hysterical and sob. The world is a little bit of an empty place without her.”
