Buckingham Nicks I'll Stand By You, Forever! Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham - a 45 year relationship that endures even in the spotlight of the rock and roll fast lane. Gotta love them!
I hope they'll reconcile before one is gone. You can look at the love between them when they sing. I hope one day they get back together. They make a great couple. I love their music.
@@rhondawilson3124 I get why you’re saying this. Mrs Lindsey Buckingham has got to have a heart of steel to have to deal with millions of FM fans wanting exactly what you’re saying. Could you imagine what it’s like to be her??
Hardly surprising. She was older than him when she first decided he was the best way for her to make a career out of music (even though she's not a musician) and took him to bed when he was 16. He fell in love (and the first cut is the deepest), she was just 'doing business'.
@@Shaun.Stephens Actually Mick said that Lindsey was making faces while Stevie was speaking at the mic during a performance and she got so mad she said it's either him or me...they chose her (she has the largest fan base in the band). Seems neither one of them could reconcile the past, so this is probably for the best...at least for the sake of peace within the band. Really if you think about it, Stevie's the one who came out on the short end of the stick in this whole thing...4 abortions, no husband or children. Lindsey's been married for 20 years and has 3 kids. I think Lindsey is jealous of Stevie's popularity and successful solo career, and Stevie is jealous that Lindsey didn't pine away for her till the end of time, forsaking all other women...yeah, like that ever happens with any man! It's a shame, but what are ya gonna do??
@@blondespitfire Yet Mick and Chris were waltzing behind her! It wasn't 'making faces', Stevie said Lindsey was "smirking", she said she saw it on the replay. As for her getting the short end of the stick those abortions weren't forced on her. At least one of the 'fathers' was really annoyed about it. She had enough time off for binging, rehab and solo tours, she could have taken time off to have a child (or four). Also if she wasn't bed-hopping could likely have had her choice of a husband. But yeah, to quote the J Geils band 'Love Stinks'. It's just a shame that getting booted from the band broke Linsey's heart (literally).
@@Shaun.Stephens Yeah, that's true those guy's were "waltzing" behind her...sorta was an inside joke with the band that Stevie tends to go on and on. Curse of the Gemini...I know, I was married to one and they never stfu! Yet what Mick and Chris did, that didn't seem to bother her...just Lindsey's smirk, which tells you alot! Any little thing between those two always gets blown out of proportion, and the rest of the band has to deal with all the drama. And I do think Stevie got the short end of the stick...100% all her OWN fault though. She's always claimed that never getting married, and the abortions, were all because of her "career" but the real truth is that Stevie was addicted to coke all during her childbearing years. This is something that she doesn't cop to publicly, and I think part of the reason why she's never written a book about her life, despite being a prolific writer...there are things she just doesn't want to discuss about the choices she made. Like the fact that she didn't use birth control because she couldn't afford to get fat, and the Rock Stars she slept with certainly would've been thoroughly offended being asked to use a condom, so she got pregnant alot. She couldn't risk carrying to term while being a junkie, so she had alot of abortions...procrastinating that the right time would come one day. Well, it doesn't work like that, women have a shelf-life when it comes to childbearing and she missed her window. Her ambition, ego, and weakness for drugs got the best of her, and she's got to live with those decisions she made. Men don't have to pay such a high price when this stuff happens to them, but women do! Also, Stevie was never considered to be marriage material by all the Rock Stars she slept with...not Henley, Walsh, Petty, Iovine, not even Mick! 1. She's flighty (the Gemini thing, and the Coke addict thing). 2. Guys like that don't want a woman they have to compete with in their careers, especially one that's on the road as much as they are. Their egos are too fragile for that. She was a road f*ck, period. They want hot arm candy, preferably 15-20 yrs younger than them, that don't have careers, and are always there to serve their every whim and give them children when they're old enough to be grandfathers! And Don Henley wasn't upset at the time Stevie had the abortion. He feigned upset in a drunken interview 25 yrs later, but the time to have shown concern would've been when it happened, and he didn't cause he didn't want a permanent relationship with her. Sadly, it seems no one did because she was just too erratic on coke! Being a woman myself, I would guess Stevie is not a very happy woman. Rich, but lonely and empty! Lindsey was the closest she would come. And even though it's a documented fact that Lindsey was physically and mentally abusive toward Stevie and another girlfriend named Carol during the time he was on Coke, I'm sure she has regrets about ending things with him, and it can't be easy to have to see him all the time and always wondering what might have been if they'd stayed together. There's a rumor, don't know if it's true, that Stevie and Lindsey started back up with each other when the band got back together in the 90's. He was seeing the woman that would later become his wife at the time too and SHE got pregnant...and Lindsey chose her...which created even more bad blood between them! Who knows though. Btw, Lindsey's heart problems weren't caused by the firing. Heart problems in men tend to run in families, and Lindsey's father died of a "widow-maker" heart attack in traffic on his way to work in the 70's. Considering his genetics and all the Coke he did back in the day, Lindsey's very lucky to still be alive!
In the end it is their personal lives and their love story and we should all respect their choices and the time they had together. That kind of love is rare and regardless who is married and who is not, They had a once in a life love that no one can ever replace! We should all be so blessed to find our friend, and someone to love to the end of time even if they are just friends now.Kudos to these two power houses for remaining friends and working together to boot. They rock and always will in my eyes!!!.......... love you Fleetwood Mac and Stevie/Buckingham!!!! Huge Fan!!! Thanks for all the beautiful music you shared with us and by telling your story through your music!!!!................................
I admire your love, your eyes speak about it.I'm a grandma and follow You since 1979 ,thank You all the band ,.Bless You and many regards fir You Lindsey Buckingham & Stevie forever💝
Just when it looked like he was going to get back together with her, his now wife said she was pregnant. He did the right thing by being around as a father to his kids. Their hearts are always going to feel deep love no matter who else is in their life.
If they found their way back together it would be so nice. I think Stevie has loved him her entire adult life. They forged their connection when they were teens. They loved before the fame.
No one knows what goes on behind the scenes, how they treated each other and how hard it is to work with an X, people can all rush to judge and pick sides but at the end of he day it is not our relationship it is Fleetwood Mac’s. They will always be linked together no matter what we say.
Stevie. Lyndsey. Come on. Acknowledge the obvious love you share. It is blinding. Time flies. Get it right before your time on earth expires. I mean come on guys.
@@julietkelly7215it was not about him wanting kids. He was not trying to one at that point. They were happy! She would have had one w/ him but drugs stole years from her. But there are other ways. The problem was outside interference.
Sometimes when someone did you wrong and you let it slide .. When Landslide finely breaks you say fk it and Down he went . it was called sweet revenge .. Sad but true and that's exactly what she did !!!! She let go of all she felt for him ... Ended it just like that and the chain was broke .. It was such a chain!!!! It got all of us thru lots of heart aches ❤ and lots of memories... Just as Lindsey had a spell w health .. Everyone knows there will never be any band to compare w Fleetwood Mac
I'm praying they get back together So be beautiful Stevie. He loves you it's heart wrenching. Love immortal. I went to a wedding Great sermon once chemistry is a sign they are meant to be together
I cried when I saw them sing this and I keep wishing to that they would get back together. Then again I had a 14-year marriage with a man I love deeply and we just could not stop hurting each other?😢
iShip fanvids ~Sure it’s rare, but if you look for it, you will see it. These days you’ll see it between Lindsay and his beautiful wife. He loves all-in; his family, his music, his past and his future. Stevie is her own person. She lives a life of many layers; her music, her family, her pets...her love is very personal to her. She and Lindsay were a high-profile couple, band-mates, shared both heartache and outrageous successes. They spent many years apart. Only when it was proposed that FM produce yet one more album, did the two (finally) talk things out. They re-developed a bonding relationship. They both agreed that they had to - for the music - and they did. It was good to see them (all) back together too! - for the music.
This is fantastic, thank you. We can't know what has gone on between these two, but what is obvious, is that they care deeply for each other through whatever it is, and that "chain" will never be broken. I'm sad that Fleetwood Mac as a group is done as a live group, but happy that we still get these two out.
Judith Magill ... He will be now. Stevie fired him from the band. Lindsey had open heart surgery and Stevie never even sent a get well wish. Nothing. She's a witch and I'm sure Lindsey is kicking himself in the ass now.
@@sherihart7154 Sheri the whole band wanted Lindsey out for his selfishness and difficulty to work with. Don't put it all on Stevie. She is s just one person
@@Vikinggirl1679the whole band did NOT want him out! Chris&John said they never did but felt they had no say. They wanted him back. Mick wants him back & did not want him out. Stevie was going to quit & the manager unfairly fired LB! Lindsey is not selfish. He was not fired for that. Stop the slander! It was about outside interference.
Lori Ritchie their love died a long time ago. Stevie really cinched it when she had Lindsey legally fired from the band.... Then when he had open heart surgery, and could have died, she didn't even send a get well wish to him. Yeah. That's pretty shitty and low. She's used him for forever. He waited to marry for so long all because she strung him along. She had so many flings with men right under Lindsey's nose and hurt him so bad.... Yet he openly loves her and she loves having that control. There's a word for women like that. I no longer see her the way I used to. She has absolutely no class whatsoever. She will die a lonely woman. She is no lady.
OMG, are you just TRYING to make us cry? I love these two, especially Stevie. It's amazing they kept the band together as long as they did given the circumstances.
Aubrey ... Stevie fired Lindsey from the band. With lawyers involved and everything. He had open heart surgery and she never sent him not one get well wish! She is a witch. This is drama material.... Not true love material.
Aww. That brought tears to my eyes. I have loved FM since I was a kid in the 70's, and like so many others I've always had an intense fascination with every thing about Stevie & Lindsey. I always hoped they'd get back together, I think they BOTH DO STILL LOVE each other. I know, I know, Lindsey's married with kids now and I wish him happiness with his family. But I think he still loves Stevie and she loves him. I have a feeling it might be like me and my ex-husband. A toxic love hate thing.
All I have to say is his wife must be a very very understanding woman. I can't say i'd be the same. They so love each other S&L that is. it's so sad to watch
love jesus love america ?... Good man for being affectionate and all over her?? The man is married with 3kids!!! 😣 She just pushed a final button to illuminate him from ant future with the band AND he recently had open heart surgery. What a mess! I feel for Lindsey... I'm quite pissed at Stevie though.
@Rietta Carson I agree. She says Mic is her soul mate. I think Lindsey is her musical soul mate. She chose her craft over romantic love & children. She had to fullfill her destiny. He didn't marry until he was almost 50. They had plenty of time to make up. Stevie missed her boat. Im sure the affair with Mic didn't help. Its funny, Lindsey's wife was probably born when Stevie & Lindsey started.
@Rietta Carson I think Stevie left those men. She is a Gemini woman, they always stat aloof & in control. She is still regretful that she had to choose.
🎶 I pretend not to love you, tell myself you never loved me, nooo 🎶 The passion is still there no doubt about it. Watch the later Silver Springs video if you haven't. Shit gets real toward the end.
His wife must have been so hurt knowing and watching them together. She had to have known their deep forever love for eachother..and knew nothing could change that..that's so sad..why would one stay that many years with him..
It's great to see so many happy photos of Stevie & Lindsey........just wonder what his wife thinks of this video ? He has said before "that the specter of Stevie has derailed several potential relationships in the past".
IDK, but if I were married to this man I would not be able to watch this stuff. Lindsey & Stevie have had so many ups and downs over the years, she doesn't seem as heartbroken as he is/was. Although it's never been addressed publicly to my knowledge, you have to wonder if Stevie's crippling cocaine addiction didn't figure into their split. They all used they say, but it's never been addressed. Hope he can forgive her for this latest shit storm.
Love. Love is the only thing we need in life. Not money, success, not...... It's all about love. Nothing else matters. Sending my blessings to all whom read this. We have a heart for a reason. Let's share it with all who need need it. 🍃🍃🌼🌻🌹💧🌹🌻🌼🍃🍃 🙏
Look at the love .it's a pity .the tragic love drama .. Lindsey loves her more. She doesn't see it yet. We all want to see that love hug.Between Stevie and Lindsey... Stevie he e loves you
I had no idea 1 public comment ( mine ) would get 1 person so damn riled up. All we really know is what the press and their agents & lawyers say; I'm sure even their interviews are monitored, but these photos and their performances don't lie. His wife had to realize Lindsey would always carry a torch for Stevie when they met & married. It was her choice. Now WTH got Stevie's panties in a twist we may never know.......
Judith Magill - I Agree.. we as fans weren’t behind those closed doors. Just seeing a few brief interviews from Mick.. I’ve always felt he was secretly obsessed with Stevie & had his own agenda to keep Lindsey from touring. That’s just my own personal observation. 💔
You feel for her? She not only knew exactly what she was getting into she chose to try & disrupt it when she was not even in a legal position! I think L&S deserve the sympathy!
As a massive FM fan since the 70s..I love all the band, and it pains me to say this, Stevie will end up a lonely old woman, who will live to regret firing Lindsey from FM. I don't like the new line up...getting back to Stevie...she won't be touring forever. And then she will be lonely with her regrets..it is so sad.i think she enveys Lindseys wife, having , him and his children too. Make amends Stevie..life is way too short..to keep grudges.
It's such a pity Stevie put FM before Lyndsey again, Yes he is married now, but she will never have a friend like him again. I know there was craziness during Rumours, they were both young and made mistakes. But without Lindsey, Stevie would not have been part of the group.
Gypsy ummm... You need to get up to dat with what's going on. Stevie fired Lindsey from the band with lawyers and all. Lindsey had open heart surgery some time ago. Not one get well wish from Stevie, you need to get with the program. Some of you guys are so out of touch with reality. Stevie is a witch... She has used him for forever and she's going to die a very lonely woman. Not lady. She is no lady.
I wonder how his wife felt when they performed on stage and acted like they still loved each other and had feelings,and were sorry they wernt together it must have been so hard
If it was, she brought that on herself. No one told her to get mixed up with Lindsey. He is Stevie's man. I'm still hoping there is hope for Stevie and Lindsey getting back together.
U call that acting?! If that's acting they both should get an Oscar EVERY year for the rest of their lives! They were never apart. So many years wasted on others that couldn't compare.
It was his wife not him who wanted to separate. They are not divorced yet. His wedding ring is still on at his concert last week. That thing with him and Stevie is just a fantasy world that their fans keep believing in. They ended years ago.
Okay crying. Amazing. If One find a Soulmate like this , Their forever blessed. I've been listening to Fleetwood Mac all night and this broke my Heart.
Thats the look of love from both of them it's a pity they never married they were made for each other and Fleetwood Mac without Lindsey Buckingham not the same he is as brilliant guitarist get him back where he belongs my advice to them.
I really think that Lindsay Buckingham was good with fleets wood mac and when he was by himself singing.. I really like his voice and playing the guitar.
Lindsey never forget his real love THAT Stevie! he always there for her wanever he was married 20 years with anothers woman! now he divorced because of Nick! (ex wife said) he can't forget her! TRUE LOVE!
(Cont'd) A toxic love hate relationship that's unbelievably great when it's good, and so very destructive when it's bad. No middle ground, no in between. But I'll always love him and I know he loves me. And from everything I've read, watched, listened to about them...and I think they still love each other regardless of everything past and present.
Awwwww love THIS THEY HONESTLY HAVE!!! IM A WEEPING LADY BC I CAN RELATE I LOST A SOULMATE" That deep enduring LOVE IS" comes once in YOUR LIFE EITHER YOU TAKE IT TO THE MAX OR IT CRUMBLES. SADLY MY SOULMATE LEFT ME, I WAS A BABY IN MY 20s NOW IM A 60 YR OLD LADY WEEPING WHENEVER I WATCH THESE SORT OF VIDS THOUGH I LOVE BOTH OF THEM.PLUS AM A HOPELESS ROMANTIC GOT A LOT GOING FOR ME, NO MR RIGHT AT MY DOOR MAT MAYBE COZ IM SOBER? STILL DANCE DO BALLET WHEN I CAN😔
Gemini can be moody but they can be so forgiving as I am a Sagittarius ♐️ and we get along so great ,hope they heal anything as death is at least physical not spiritual with soul mates,blessings to both of you
to stevie and lindsey,forgive ,its time to live and be friends and laugh together done take evetthingn too personal,lifes too short ,r.i.p.to my brothers who did the same started to fight but never forgave and now we the family left,have to have this sad memory,forgive and be firens,life will be much richer for it,i promise!!!!!peace!
benjamin6492 she won't do it.... She had hurt Lindsey so bad and now fired him from the band. There were lawyers involved so it's a done deal. Stevie will never grow up. When Lindsey had his heart surgery she didn't even send him a get well wish! NOTHING! She's done nothing but use him. I truly believe that once it was obvious she couldn't break up him marriage, that she was done with him.what a witch.
@@sherihart7154 well i think alot of highschool loves neve rlast ,they are nothing new except they were both in a band together and that was the ego problem thing ,too bad i would lvoe to here a buckingham nicks song again
They are not a couple. They haven't been for years. I love Stevie Nicks' voice, but let's get real. Many years ago Stevie slept with Mick Fleetwood while she and Lindsey were a couple. That ended their romantic relationship. That's a fact, not gossip.
@@sdelaney6762 I know that. He also forgave her and he cheated on her too. No one is perfect. Is it so wrong to say God bless them? I was referring to when they were a couple. I know he's married and it was a long time ago. I can't seem to write anything anymore without people getting negative. I miss the days people showed more kindness. It's a difficult time for everyone these days so why can't we try to be nicer, not grumpy! I'm not going to say a word on here anymore. Good bye.
From what I read, she didn't; even make contact with him when he had his Emergency Heart Operation, so she didn't stand by him at all, I think he loves her more than she does him.
Stevie Nicks was nervous. It was 1973, and the then-25-year-old singer and her guitarist boyfriend Lindsey Buckingham were posing for the cover of their first album, “Buckingham Nicks.” Their record label had asked the duo to look “sexy,” and the bookish Nicks was already feeling self-conscious when the photographer told her to remove her diaphanous white blouse. She didn’t want to do it. Buckingham lost it. “Don’t be a f-king child,” the then-24-year-old guitarist snapped. “This is art!” Stevie Nicks, now 69, is often referred to as the “Queen of Rock ’n’ Roll,” with more than 40 top-50 hits to her credit, both as part of the supergroup Fleetwood Mac and as a solo artist. But according to “Gold Dust Woman” (St. Martin’s Press, out Nov. 21) - a new biography by Stephen Davis - she did it all despite Buckingham’s bullying and abuse. Enlarge Image Nicks and Buckingham met in high school in San Mateo, Calif. They were in a band called Fritz when they decided to move to Los Angeles and launch a career as a duo in 1971. Yet while Nicks hustled to make rent, cleaning houses and waiting tables, Buckingham, who said he couldn’t work because he had to devote himself to music full-time, would spend most of the day smoking hash with his friends.
00:14 / 00:15 TOP ARTICLES 4/5 Rot in Hell, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi “I’d come in every day and have to step over these bodies,” Nicks later recalled to Rolling Stone. “I’m tired; I’m pickin’ up their legs and cleaning under them and emptying out ashtrays.” Nicks felt violated after the album-cover incident and when their debut bombed, she almost quit music. But in January 1975, the duo received a call: Drummer Mick Fleetwood wanted them to join his band Fleetwood Mac. The opportunity would launch the pair to superstardom but further strain their relationship. “When they first joined the band, Lindsey had control [over Nicks],” Mick Fleetwood said. “And, very slowly, he began to lose control. And he really didn’t like it.” Their first album with the band, “Fleetwood Mac,” released in 1975, was a hit, but the jealous Buckingham didn’t like that Nicks’ songs “Rhiannon” and “Landslide,” about their fading romance, had eclipsed his own. When recording the band’s 1977 follow-up, “Rumours,” he criticized Nicks’ writing and told her she needed him to make her songs sound halfway decent. She said he was “hijacking” her music and told her mother that her now-ex had gotten physical with her during a row and had “thrown her down to the floor.” Enlarge Image Buckingham allegedly bullied then-girlfriend Nicks into posing topless for the cover of their first album.Michael Ochs Archives Things went further downhill during their 1980 “Tusk” tour. At a concert in Wellington, New Zealand, Buckingham tried to trip Nicks onstage and began imitating her moves. While Nicks was singing “Rhiannon,” the guitarist stopped playing and attempted to kick her. The rest of the band was shocked, but only singer Christine McVie confronted him about it. Buckingham, who reportedly never apologized, has stated that he doesn’t remember the incident. Nicks continued to play with Fleetwood Mac, even after launching her own record label and putting out her own No. 1 album, “Bella Donna,” in 1981. She would grit her teeth as she and Buckingham would pretend to kiss after performing “Landslide” every night on tour. One time, during a heated argument in front of the band in 1987, Buckingham, the book says, “manhandled Stevie, slapped her face and bent her backward over the hood of his car. He put his fingers around her neck and started to choke her.” Nicks said: “I thought he was going to kill me.” This time, her band stood up to him. He wouldn’t lay a hand on her again. Buckingham’s spokesperson did not reply to requests for comment. Over time, Nicks continued to reach out to Buckingham, asking him to produce and play guitar on her 1996 song “Twisted.” She said they made amends in 2013 and he agreed to treat her with respect. But of course, Buckingham couldn’t dismiss Nicks any longer. The band needed her talent and fan base (which these days includes young acts such as Haim and Lana Del Rey) more than she needed them. As Davis writes in “Gold Dust Woman,” by the time of their reconciliation, “Stevie was an American legend, but Lindsey’s star would eventually fade away.” FILED UNDER FLEETWOOD MAC , STEVIE NICKS SHARE THIS ARTICLE: Facebook Twitter Flipboard Email Copy READ NEXT Scientists turn cosmic particles into orchestral music SPONSORED STORIES Netflix Just Pulled The Plug On All These Shows Netflix Just Pulled The Plug On All These Shows ALOT Living The Cost of Medicare Supplements Might Change Your Mind about Them Yahoo Search 12 Hygiene Habits During Colonial America Ranker
She said LB is her romantic love. But she let him go first. He even waited but she wants freedom. And then he’s found someone and a lot of people has been in between them all the decades past. It’s there, the love in a different form. Mature, understanding, nurturing…we just don’t know….it’s theirs to keep. We all wanted a reunion of BN for the final time.
She recently fired him from Fleetwood Mac for smirking while she was talking about something of interest to her .. while they were on stage ... they are nothing without him ... so much for this undying love 🤣
Lindsey saved these talentless has been and made them virtually immortal in music history. They thanked him by making his life miserable. He never should have come back. Without him on stage they are just a cover band. Nicks should be committed. She has the worst personality disorder in rock.
I hope they’ll reconcile before one is called home and come together on stage again ❤️
It looks like they have already reconciled.🤷🏻♀️
I hope they'll reconcile before one is gone. You can look at the love between them when they sing. I hope one day they get back together. They make a great couple. I love their music.
@@rhondawilson3124 I get why you’re saying this. Mrs Lindsey Buckingham has got to have a heart of steel to have to deal with millions of FM fans wanting exactly what you’re saying. Could you imagine what it’s like to be her??

Hardly surprising. She was older than him when she first decided he was the best way for her to make a career out of music (even though she's not a musician) and took him to bed when he was 16. He fell in love (and the first cut is the deepest), she was just 'doing business'.
@@Shaun.Stephens Actually Mick said that Lindsey was making faces while Stevie was speaking at the mic during a performance and she got so mad she said it's either him or me...they chose her (she has the largest fan base in the band).

Really if you think about it, Stevie's the one who came out on the short end of the stick in this whole thing...4 abortions, no husband or children. Lindsey's been married for 20 years and has 3 kids. I think Lindsey is jealous of Stevie's popularity and successful solo career, and Stevie is jealous that Lindsey didn't pine away for her till the end of time, forsaking all other women...yeah, like that ever happens with any man!

But yeah, to quote the J Geils band 'Love Stinks'. It's just a shame that getting booted from the band broke Linsey's heart (literally).
@@Shaun.Stephens Yeah, that's true those guy's were "waltzing" behind her...sorta was an inside joke with the band that Stevie tends to go on and on. Curse of the Gemini...I know, I was married to one and they never stfu! Yet what Mick and Chris did, that didn't seem to bother her...just Lindsey's smirk, which tells you alot! Any little thing between those two always gets blown out of proportion, and the rest of the band has to deal with all the drama. And I do think Stevie got the short end of the stick...100% all her OWN fault though. She's always claimed that never getting married, and the abortions, were all because of her "career" but the real truth is that Stevie was addicted to coke all during her childbearing years. This is something that she doesn't cop to publicly, and I think part of the reason why she's never written a book about her life, despite being a prolific writer...there are things she just doesn't want to discuss about the choices she made. Like the fact that she didn't use birth control because she couldn't afford to get fat, and the Rock Stars she slept with certainly would've been thoroughly offended being asked to use a condom, so she got pregnant alot. She couldn't risk carrying to term while being a junkie, so she had alot of abortions...procrastinating that the right time would come one day. Well, it doesn't work like that, women have a shelf-life when it comes to childbearing and she missed her window. Her ambition, ego, and weakness for drugs got the best of her, and she's got to live with those decisions she made. Men don't have to pay such a high price when this stuff happens to them, but women do! Also, Stevie was never considered to be marriage material by all the Rock Stars she slept with...not Henley, Walsh, Petty, Iovine, not even Mick! 1. She's flighty (the Gemini thing, and the Coke addict thing). 2. Guys like that don't want a woman they have to compete with in their careers, especially one that's on the road as much as they are. Their egos are too fragile for that. She was a road f*ck, period. They want hot arm candy, preferably 15-20 yrs younger than them, that don't have careers, and are always there to serve their every whim and give them children when they're old enough to be grandfathers! And Don Henley wasn't upset at the time Stevie had the abortion. He feigned upset in a drunken interview 25 yrs later, but the time to have shown concern would've been when it happened, and he didn't cause he didn't want a permanent relationship with her. Sadly, it seems no one did because she was just too erratic on coke! Being a woman myself, I would guess Stevie is not a very happy woman. Rich, but lonely and empty! Lindsey was the closest she would come. And even though it's a documented fact that Lindsey was physically and mentally abusive toward Stevie and another girlfriend named Carol during the time he was on Coke, I'm sure she has regrets about ending things with him, and it can't be easy to have to see him all the time and always wondering what might have been if they'd stayed together. There's a rumor, don't know if it's true, that Stevie and Lindsey started back up with each other when the band got back together in the 90's. He was seeing the woman that would later become his wife at the time too and SHE got pregnant...and Lindsey chose her...which created even more bad blood between them! Who knows though. Btw, Lindsey's heart problems weren't caused by the firing. Heart problems in men tend to run in families, and Lindsey's father died of a "widow-maker" heart attack in traffic on his way to work in the 70's. Considering his genetics and all the Coke he did back in the day, Lindsey's very lucky to still be alive!
In the end it is their personal lives and their love story and we should all respect their choices and the time they had together. That kind of love is rare and regardless who is married and who is not, They had a once in a life love that no one can ever replace! We should all be so blessed to find our friend, and someone to love to the end of time even if they are just friends now.Kudos to these two power houses for remaining friends and working together to boot. They rock and always will in my eyes!!!.......... love you Fleetwood Mac and Stevie/Buckingham!!!! Huge Fan!!! Thanks for all the beautiful music you shared with us and by telling your story through your music!!!!................................
The look of love forever
I admire your love, your eyes speak about it.I'm a grandma and follow You since 1979 ,thank You all the band ,.Bless You and many regards fir You Lindsey Buckingham & Stevie forever💝
Just when it looked like he was going to get back together with her, his now wife said she was pregnant. He did the right thing by being around as a father to his kids. Their hearts are always going to feel deep love no matter who else is in their life.
They had a love hate relationship at the end ,I know I've been there!😭
🎉l love them❤🎉
If they found their way back together it would be so nice. I think Stevie has loved him her entire adult life. They forged their connection when they were teens. They loved before the fame.
Still chokes me up after all the years. Amazing how they didn’t settle down for ever.... pity ❤
No one knows what goes on behind the scenes, how they treated each other and how hard it is to work with an X, people can all rush to judge and pick sides but at the end of he day it is not our relationship it is Fleetwood Mac’s. They will always be linked together no matter what we say.
It Is true that Is really love
I think he loves her more then Stevie knows. 🙏
Perfectly said ❤
BEST COMMENT EVER!👍❤
Espero q linsay se divorcie y a acaben juntos el resto de su vida ❤
No matter what happened in the past they clearly still love each other.
Stevie. Lyndsey. Come on. Acknowledge the obvious love you share. It is blinding. Time flies. Get it right before your time on earth expires. I mean come on guys.
Now that he’s divorced, he and Stevie can finally get married!! Wouldn’t that be a great fitting after all of these years of ups and downs?!
Stevie doesnt want him.
@@tarabalts6069yes Stevie does want him very much. She may not have wanted to deal w/ the outside interference @
I can still see the love with them.
That is some true deep love. It’s a shame they couldn’t work out their differences.
I blame her
He wanted children. She didn't.
They did work them out. Since the mid 90s things were good. It was an outsude interloper that wrongly brought issues difficulties
This last tour the problem again was related to more interference. So wrong!
@@julietkelly7215it was not about him wanting kids. He was not trying to one at that point. They were happy! She would have had one w/ him but drugs stole years from her. But there are other ways. The problem was outside interference.
We almost lost him.😳🎶🎶😟🌙 lov his blue 👀 eyes.
Me too, I could melt in them, so gorgeous.
I'll always love them
It's a shame that two people who love each other so much can't figure out a way to make it work. Love like theirs only comes once in a lifetime. ❤
Agree they have tried. It is the outsude interference that has caused issues.
I know I have been in the same situation u have a love hate relationship and it's never works out but u still love her❤️
Love them together!!
Their love…. Forever ❤️
Not for Stevie.
They went through too much.
Sad but true.
You can see the love when they look at each other. So I hope the reconcile be one passes on.They look a perfect couple meant to be together.
They have loved each other all their lives
True Love ....Stands through.. Test of time”
She cant be secure if she has ever watched them perform. Love is written all over them.
Still so much mutual chemesty there. I respect them enormously for remainig close friends after passionate love ended.
The passionate love did not end They have both mentioned it! And you can see it!
Sometimes when someone did you wrong and you let it slide .. When Landslide finely breaks you say fk it and Down he went . it was called sweet revenge .. Sad but true and that's exactly what she did !!!! She let go of all she felt for him ... Ended it just like that and the chain was broke .. It was such a chain!!!! It got all of us thru lots of heart aches ❤ and lots of memories... Just as Lindsey had a spell w health .. Everyone knows there will never be any band to compare w Fleetwood Mac
What are you talking about? How did he do her wrong? Revenge for what? And she did not let go of her feelings!
Loved her voice the first time I heard it and after so many years still never tire of it
I'm praying they get back together So be beautiful Stevie. He loves you it's heart wrenching. Love immortal. I went to a wedding Great sermon once chemistry is a sign they are meant to be together
I cried when I saw them sing this and I keep wishing to that they would get back together. Then again I had a 14-year marriage with a man I love deeply and we just could not stop hurting each other?😢
Yes but they are not you. And they have been very happy! The issues came from outside interference.
They're such a beautiful couple. Never knew of such a connection between two people.
iShip fanvids ~Sure it’s rare, but if you look for it, you will see it. These days you’ll see it between Lindsay and his beautiful wife. He loves all-in; his family, his music, his past and his future.
Stevie is her own person. She lives a life of many layers; her music, her family, her pets...her love is very personal to her. She and Lindsay were a high-profile couple, band-mates, shared both heartache and outrageous successes. They spent many years apart. Only when it was proposed that FM produce yet one more album, did the two (finally) talk things out. They re-developed a bonding relationship. They both agreed that they had to - for the music - and they did. It was good to see them (all) back together too! - for the music.
That hug at 1:59......pure love 💘
Ball my eyes out every time I watch this 😢
This is fantastic, thank you. We can't know what has gone on between these two, but what is obvious, is that they care deeply for each other through whatever it is, and that "chain" will never be broken. I'm sad that Fleetwood Mac as a group is done as a live group, but happy that we still get these two out.
FM is not done. Mick & LB want to tour. It is Stevie that needs to agree. The problem was from the outside interference . Healing is needed.
Wonder how his wife can watch this and feel secure ? He certainly doesn't & can't hide his love for her.
Judith Magill ... He will be now. Stevie fired him from the band. Lindsey had open heart surgery and Stevie never even sent a get well wish. Nothing. She's a witch and I'm sure Lindsey is kicking himself in the ass now.
@@sherihart7154 Sheri the whole band wanted Lindsey out for his selfishness and difficulty to work with. Don't put it all on Stevie. She is s just one person
No, he isn’t able to hide it. At some stills you really see he’s dying inside…..broken heart….heart surgery. I truly hope They Can work it out🪶🙏🏼♥️
@@Vikinggirl1679the whole band did NOT want him out! Chris&John said they never did but felt they had no say. They wanted him back. Mick wants him back & did not want him out. Stevie was going to quit & the manager unfairly fired LB! Lindsey is not selfish. He was not fired for that. Stop the slander! It was about outside interference.
LB is not hard to work w/ or selfish. The band did not want him out at all! Stevie was going to quit & the manager fired LB
Without theyr pain, we wouldn‘t feel the love
Love always leaves footprints 👣 💔 in the heart ❤️
💞 I love them together 💞
If only I could find a love as strong as these two! Too bad they dumped Lindsey, he is FM!
Lori Ritchie their love died a long time ago. Stevie really cinched it when she had Lindsey legally fired from the band.... Then when he had open heart surgery, and could have died, she didn't even send a get well wish to him. Yeah. That's pretty shitty and low. She's used him for forever. He waited to marry for so long all because she strung him along. She had so many flings with men right under Lindsey's nose and hurt him so bad.... Yet he openly loves her and she loves having that control. There's a word for women like that. I no longer see her the way I used to. She has absolutely no class whatsoever. She will die a lonely woman. She is no lady.
@@sherihart7154 there’s a word for women like you too. You don’t know either one of them but you’re so quick to judge. 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼
They will forever be in love true love they share together never dies they will always be a loving bond between them ……..
STEVIE WILL STAND BY ANYONE WHEN SHE IS IN CHARGE OF EVERYTHING
That's it, you said everything
@@meiredeabreu8665 TRUTH
You said truth.
OMG, are you just TRYING to make us cry? I love these two, especially Stevie. It's amazing they kept the band together as long as they did given the circumstances.
Aubrey ... Stevie fired Lindsey from the band. With lawyers involved and everything. He had open heart surgery and she never sent him not one get well wish! She is a witch. This is drama material.... Not true love material.
Aww. That brought tears to my eyes. I have loved FM since I was a kid in the 70's, and like so many others I've always had an intense fascination with every thing about Stevie & Lindsey. I always hoped they'd get back together, I think they BOTH DO STILL LOVE each other. I know, I know, Lindsey's married with kids now and I wish him happiness with his family. But I think he still loves Stevie and she loves him. I have a feeling it might be like me and my ex-husband. A toxic love hate thing.
All I have to say is his wife must be a very very understanding woman. I can't say i'd be the same. They so love each other S&L that is. it's so sad to watch
Love has no boundaries,it's evident outside interference is about ! God bless them both , and for their great Music they gave us, 😍
Hes so affectionate with stevie nicks the pricess of rock..that's why she loved him so much I think..hes all over her here ..good man.
love jesus love america ?... Good man for being affectionate and all over her?? The man is married with 3kids!!! 😣
love jesus love america ?... Good man for being affectionate and all over her?? The man is married with 3kids!!! 😣
She just pushed a final button to illuminate him from ant future with the band AND he recently had open heart surgery.
What a mess! I feel for Lindsey... I'm quite pissed at Stevie though.
@@sherihart7154 he has 2 grown kids. And just being married with 2 kids does not mean you stop loving a person you've known most of your life.
@Rietta Carson I agree. She says Mic is her soul mate. I think Lindsey is her musical soul mate. She chose her craft over romantic love & children. She had to fullfill her destiny. He didn't marry until he was almost 50. They had plenty of time to make up. Stevie missed her boat. Im sure the affair with Mic didn't help. Its funny, Lindsey's wife was probably born when Stevie & Lindsey started.
@Rietta Carson I think Stevie left those men. She is a Gemini woman, they always stat aloof & in control. She is still regretful that she had to choose.
I feel so sad Lindsey and Stevie Destiny just didn't come through for them but they are good friends but it's sad
After the rumors of divorce, maybe....or is it too much wishful thinking on my part.
They’re not dead….look at Camilla and Charles.
Das sind sehr schöne Bilder...eine alte Liebe, die nie vergessen wurde...und heut mit Respekt&Achtung gekrönt wird
And still the love
Some loves were never meant to be, regardless of how you much you love or care about that person.
I belive😊
It does not mean this was not meant to. It has been for years! Outside interference is an issue
Love is hard, then we listen to songs to heal the broken.
Thank you love 💗
🎶 I pretend not to love you, tell myself you never loved me, nooo 🎶 The passion is still there no doubt about it. Watch the later Silver Springs video if you haven't. Shit gets real toward the end.
I will love them forever
Wow...real love but life is so complex as are most of us❤
His wife must have been so hurt knowing and watching them together. She had to have known their deep forever love for eachother..and knew nothing could change that..that's so sad..why would one stay that many years with him..
$$$
It's great to see so many happy photos of Stevie & Lindsey........just wonder what his wife thinks of this video ? He has said before "that the specter of Stevie has derailed several potential relationships in the past".
IDK, but if I were married to this man I would not be able to watch this stuff. Lindsey & Stevie have had so many ups and downs over the years, she doesn't seem as heartbroken as he is/was. Although it's never been addressed publicly to my knowledge, you have to wonder if Stevie's crippling cocaine addiction didn't figure into their split. They all used they say, but it's never been addressed. Hope he can forgive her
for this latest shit storm.
Say goodbye...broke me. Im crying though this 😢
Nice clip , love hurts 💞
Sometimes love just ain't enough
Totally agree
Love.
Love is the only thing we need in life.
Not money, success, not......
It's all about love.
Nothing else matters.
Sending my blessings to all whom read this.
We have a heart for a reason.
Let's share it with all who need need it.
🍃🍃🌼🌻🌹💧🌹🌻🌼🍃🍃
🙏
Together, they were a great power couple but the toxicity between them was more powerful than the love they had for each other.
Look at the love .it's a pity .the tragic love drama .. Lindsey loves her more. She doesn't see it yet. We all want to see that love hug.Between Stevie and Lindsey... Stevie he e loves you
And love always will be
So in love these two Soulmates...they belong together. 💖💜💚❤💙 True love never ends...it only grows in time........💖💕❤
So complex beyond words.
A invisible cord binds them..
Australia ❤
Thanks for this awesome video. And thanks for sharing it. I cried through the whole thing. Yes, there is still love there.
Time less true love.
So sad but soo beautiful their love was always there but sadley not to last xx
I had no idea 1 public comment ( mine ) would get 1 person so damn riled up. All we really know is what the press and their agents & lawyers say; I'm sure even their interviews are monitored, but these photos and their performances don't lie. His wife had to realize Lindsey would always carry a torch for Stevie when they met & married. It was her choice. Now WTH got Stevie's panties in a twist we may never know.......
Judith Magill - I Agree.. we as fans weren’t behind those closed doors. Just seeing a few brief interviews from Mick.. I’ve always felt he was secretly obsessed with Stevie & had his own agenda to keep Lindsey from touring. That’s just my own personal observation. 💔
Thank God they are both still alive while time remains cause it's later then we think
If I was his wife, I'd always feel like second fiddle.....sadly. I feel for her. Young love last forever....."first love is SO Intense "
You feel for her? She not only knew exactly what she was getting into she chose to try & disrupt it when she was not even in a legal position! I think L&S deserve the sympathy!
Yes & this is even beyond first love. They just are so good together!
As a massive FM fan since the 70s..I love all the band, and it pains me to say this, Stevie will end up a lonely old woman, who will live to regret firing Lindsey from FM. I don't like the new line up...getting back to Stevie...she won't be touring forever. And then she will be lonely with her regrets..it is so sad.i think she enveys Lindseys wife, having , him and his children too. Make amends Stevie..life is way too short..to keep grudges.
As of today 1/31/2024 Stevie and Lindsey are both SINGLE!!! One can pray 🙏❤️
Reminds me of me and my beloved Thomas.
Amor...simplemente amor❤️
It's such a pity Stevie put FM before Lyndsey again, Yes he is married now, but she will never have a friend like him again. I know there was craziness during Rumours, they were both young and made mistakes. But without Lindsey, Stevie would not have been part of the group.
🙏 they reconcile. .. they still love each other
They still love each other very much.. Yeah well he told her to go ahead and tour...
Gypsy ummm... You need to get up to dat with what's going on. Stevie fired Lindsey from the band with lawyers and all. Lindsey had open heart surgery some time ago. Not one get well wish from Stevie, you need to get with the program. Some of you guys are so out of touch with reality. Stevie is a witch... She has used him for forever and she's going to die a very lonely woman. Not lady. She is no lady.
I wonder how his wife felt when they performed on stage and acted like they still loved each other and had feelings,and were sorry they wernt together it must have been so hard
He did just get divorced....maybe it may still happen...but, I wouldn't have wanted to be his wife.
If it was, she brought that on herself. No one told her to get mixed up with Lindsey. He is Stevie's man. I'm still hoping there is hope for Stevie and Lindsey getting back together.
U call that acting?!
If that's acting they both should get an Oscar EVERY year for the rest of their lives!
They were never apart.
So many years wasted on others that couldn't compare.
It was his wife not him who wanted to separate. They are not divorced yet. His wedding ring is still on at his concert last week. That thing with him and Stevie is just a fantasy world that their fans keep believing in. They ended years ago.
Just love them
Okay crying. Amazing. If One find a Soulmate like this , Their forever blessed. I've been listening to Fleetwood Mac all night and this broke my Heart.
SongBird1059 fuck this stevie hates him....ass holes still dont get it
I wish they would have married. They would have made beautiful babies.
Thats the look of love from both of them it's a pity they never married they were made for each other and Fleetwood Mac without Lindsey Buckingham not the same he is as brilliant guitarist get him back where he belongs my advice to them.
AMEN.....🙏
wish that they would stay together💓
I really think that Lindsay Buckingham was good with fleets wood mac and when he was by himself singing.. I really like his voice and playing the guitar.
Creo que ellos se amaron durante toda su vida dentro y fuera de su trabajo
Lindsey never forget his real love THAT Stevie! he always there for her wanever he was married 20 years with anothers woman! now he divorced because of Nick! (ex wife said) he can't forget her! TRUE LOVE!
(Cont'd) A toxic love hate relationship that's unbelievably great when it's good, and so very destructive when it's bad. No middle ground, no in between. But I'll always love him and I know he loves me. And from everything I've read, watched, listened to about them...and I think they still love each other regardless of everything past and present.
A think so too
Love song Christie voice ❤
Awwwww love THIS THEY HONESTLY HAVE!!! IM A WEEPING LADY BC I CAN RELATE I LOST A SOULMATE"
That deep enduring LOVE IS" comes once in YOUR LIFE EITHER YOU TAKE IT TO THE MAX OR IT CRUMBLES.
SADLY MY SOULMATE LEFT ME, I WAS A BABY IN MY 20s
NOW IM A 60 YR OLD LADY WEEPING WHENEVER I WATCH THESE SORT OF VIDS THOUGH I LOVE BOTH OF THEM.PLUS AM A HOPELESS ROMANTIC GOT A LOT GOING FOR ME,
NO MR RIGHT AT MY DOOR MAT
MAYBE COZ IM SOBER?
STILL DANCE DO BALLET WHEN I CAN😔
>Buckingham Nicks<
The best “Fleetwood Mac” record ever.
If you can’t fight passionately you can’t possibly love passionately!
What was wrong with them to let us down after all the loving.....😮😂❤
Gemini can be moody but they can be so forgiving as I am a Sagittarius ♐️ and we get along so great ,hope they heal anything as death is at least physical not spiritual with soul mates,blessings to both of you
Lindsey is eternal
to stevie and lindsey,forgive ,its time to live and be friends and laugh together done take evetthingn too personal,lifes too short ,r.i.p.to my brothers who did the same started to fight but never forgave and now we the family left,have to have this sad memory,forgive and be firens,life will be much richer for it,i promise!!!!!peace!
benjamin6492 she won't do it.... She had hurt Lindsey so bad and now fired him from the band. There were lawyers involved so it's a done deal. Stevie will never grow up. When Lindsey had his heart surgery she didn't even send him a get well wish! NOTHING! She's done nothing but use him. I truly believe that once it was obvious she couldn't break up him marriage, that she was done with him.what a witch.
@@sherihart7154 well i think alot of highschool loves neve rlast ,they are nothing new except they were both in a band together and that was the ego problem thing ,too bad i would lvoe to here a buckingham nicks song again
God bless this couple!
Joyce Brackbill you're kidding, right? Do you even follow the news on what's going on with them? Good grief.
They are not a couple. They haven't been for years. I love Stevie Nicks' voice, but let's get real. Many years ago Stevie slept with Mick Fleetwood while she and Lindsey were a couple. That ended their romantic relationship. That's a fact, not gossip.
@@sdelaney6762 I know that. He also forgave her and he cheated on her too. No one is perfect. Is it so wrong to say God bless them? I was referring to when they were a couple. I know he's married and it was a long time ago. I can't seem to write anything anymore without people getting negative. I miss the days people showed more kindness. It's a difficult time for everyone these days so why can't we try to be nicer, not grumpy! I'm not going to say a word on here anymore. Good bye.
@@sherihart7154 grouch.
She didn't stand by him this time. Very sad what's happened to the band.
They will get past it. They always do.
She wanted him out , her and Azov , let's hope LB makes a full recovery
Yep, she broke "The Chain" (ironically her own lyric).
From what I read, she didn't; even make contact with him when he had his Emergency Heart Operation, so she didn't stand by him at all, I think he loves her more than she does him.
Stevie Nicks was nervous. It was 1973, and the then-25-year-old singer and her guitarist boyfriend Lindsey Buckingham were posing for the cover of their first album, “Buckingham Nicks.” Their record label had asked the duo to look “sexy,” and the bookish Nicks was already feeling self-conscious when the photographer told her to remove her diaphanous white blouse.
She didn’t want to do it. Buckingham lost it.
“Don’t be a f-king child,” the then-24-year-old guitarist snapped. “This is art!”
Stevie Nicks, now 69, is often referred to as the “Queen of Rock ’n’ Roll,” with more than 40 top-50 hits to her credit, both as part of the supergroup Fleetwood Mac and as a solo artist. But according to “Gold Dust Woman” (St. Martin’s Press, out Nov. 21) - a new biography by Stephen Davis - she did it all despite Buckingham’s bullying and abuse.

Nicks and Buckingham met in high school in San Mateo, Calif. They were in a band called Fritz when they decided to move to Los Angeles and launch a career as a duo in 1971. Yet while Nicks hustled to make rent, cleaning houses and waiting tables, Buckingham, who said he couldn’t work because he had to devote himself to music full-time, would spend most of the day smoking hash with his friends.

“I’d come in every day and have to step over these bodies,” Nicks later recalled to Rolling Stone. “I’m tired; I’m pickin’ up their legs and cleaning under them and emptying out ashtrays.”
Nicks felt violated after the album-cover incident and when their debut bombed, she almost quit music. But in January 1975, the duo received a call: Drummer Mick Fleetwood wanted them to join his band Fleetwood Mac.
The opportunity would launch the pair to superstardom but further strain their relationship.
“When they first joined the band, Lindsey had control [over Nicks],” Mick Fleetwood said. “And, very slowly, he began to lose control. And he really didn’t like it.”
Their first album with the band, “Fleetwood Mac,” released in 1975, was a hit, but the jealous Buckingham didn’t like that Nicks’ songs “Rhiannon” and “Landslide,” about their fading romance, had eclipsed his own.
When recording the band’s 1977 follow-up, “Rumours,” he criticized Nicks’ writing and told her she needed him to make her songs sound halfway decent.
She said he was “hijacking” her music and told her mother that her now-ex had gotten physical with her during a row and had “thrown her down to the floor.”

Buckingham allegedly bullied then-girlfriend Nicks into posing topless for the cover of their first album.Michael Ochs Archives
Things went further downhill during their 1980 “Tusk” tour. At a concert in Wellington, New Zealand, Buckingham tried to trip Nicks onstage and began imitating her moves. While Nicks was singing “Rhiannon,” the guitarist stopped playing and attempted to kick her.
The rest of the band was shocked, but only singer Christine McVie confronted him about it. Buckingham, who reportedly never apologized, has stated that he doesn’t remember the incident.
Nicks continued to play with Fleetwood Mac, even after launching her own record label and putting out her own No. 1 album, “Bella Donna,” in 1981. She would grit her teeth as she and Buckingham would pretend to kiss after performing “Landslide” every night on tour.
One time, during a heated argument in front of the band in 1987, Buckingham, the book says, “manhandled Stevie, slapped her face and bent her backward over the hood of his car. He put his fingers around her neck and started to choke her.”
Nicks said: “I thought he was going to kill me.” This time, her band stood up to him. He wouldn’t lay a hand on her again.
Buckingham’s spokesperson did not reply to requests for comment.
Over time, Nicks continued to reach out to Buckingham, asking him to produce and play guitar on her 1996 song “Twisted.” She said they made amends in 2013 and he agreed to treat her with respect. But of course, Buckingham couldn’t dismiss Nicks any longer. The band needed her talent and fan base (which these days includes young acts such as Haim and Lana Del Rey) more than she needed them.
As Davis writes in “Gold Dust Woman,” by the time of their reconciliation, “Stevie was an American legend, but Lindsey’s star would eventually fade away.”

A touching sentiment but at the end of the day they still kicked Lindsey to the curb! I'll stand by YOU but whose got my back?! Yeah! Right!
they will be together forever
xXDaRkNoScOpEXx hehehehehehe.... Umm nope. Pay attention to what's going on now. This comment is very irrelevant.
I wonder how his wife and kids feel when they see this.
They can't stand the sight of each other now. A shame FM ended the way it did.
Great video
She said LB is her romantic love. But she let him go first. He even waited but she wants freedom. And then he’s found someone and a lot of people has been in between them all the decades past. It’s there, the love in a different form. Mature, understanding, nurturing…we just don’t know….it’s theirs to keep. We all wanted a reunion of BN for the final time.
She recently fired him from Fleetwood Mac for smirking while she was talking about something of interest to her .. while they were on stage ... they are nothing without him ... so much for this undying love 🤣
Lindsey saved these talentless has been and made them virtually immortal in music history. They thanked him by making his life miserable. He never should have come back. Without him on stage they are just a cover band. Nicks should be committed. She has the worst personality disorder in rock.
