In a revelation that’s rocked the music world, Lindsey Buckingham has finally spoken out about the dark truth behind his shocking 2018 ousting from Fleetwood Mac, and his words have left fans stunned. What was once one of rock’s most legendary partnerships has now been exposed as a decades-long war of love, power, and revenge — and Buckingham isn’t holding back anymore.
According to the guitarist, his removal from the band wasn’t a “creative decision,” as long claimed — it was a personal vendetta orchestrated by Stevie Nicks herself. “She wanted me gone,” Buckingham confessed in a newly leaked interview. “She told them, *‘It’s him or me’ — and they chose her. After everything we built together, that was the knife in the heart.”
Sources close to the band describe a chaotic final rehearsal, where an argument between Nicks and Buckingham turned explosive. Witnesses claim that Nicks stormed out after Buckingham allegedly mocked her onstage — and within 48 hours, he was officially out of Fleetwood Mac. One insider even claims there were tears and shouting as management delivered the news: “You’re done, Lindsey.”
Behind the scenes, things were darker than anyone knew. Buckingham reportedly discovered that several band members had been planning his exit for weeks, secretly negotiating with tour promoters while keeping him in the dark. “It wasn’t just betrayal,” he said. “It was sabotage.”
But the real shock came when Buckingham revealed that he and Nicks had rekindled a brief, private connection in the months leading up to his firing — an emotional entanglement that blurred the line between their art and their unresolved past. “We never stopped loving each other,” he admitted. “That’s what made it all so tragic. The chemistry that made the music great also destroyed everything else.”
Now, Buckingham lives in near-seclusion, pouring his emotions into new music rumored to be his rawest and most confessional work yet — a haunting album insiders say contains veiled references to Nicks and the band’s betrayal. Meanwhile, Fleetwood Mac continues without him, but many fans insist the band has never been the same.
