We very substantially wished to attract Stevie in, and for some rationale she refused to participate.”
Buckingham promises that Nicks, “has sort of gotten a tiny bit disoriented in her wanting to go after Stevie Nicks in cash letters, if you will.”
“I think she kind of lost keep track of of her crafting a small bit,” he suggests, “and probably did not think she had anything she felt she could offer you, and so did not want to be a aspect of it.”
“That energy to engage her was revamped all over again when Christine returned,” Buckingham claims, “because it was like, ‘well, Christine’s again, possibly now Stevie will want to do this.’ Christine had a bunch of song concepts and I assisted her with individuals, and we finally went in the studio and slash those people. And we ended up continue to hoping to make that a Fleetwood Mac album, and Stevie would not do it. That turned the duet album that Christine and I did [2017’s Lindsey Buckingham Christine McVie]. So it wasn’t for lack of seeking.”
Somewhere else in the interview, Buckingham indicates that he’s open up to the idea of a different reunion with the band.
