Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham made up after years of tension.
The bandmates dated while working together and continued to do so even after their 1976 breakup.
However, things exploded in 2018 during a Fleetwood Mac show, as Nicks was angry with Buckingham's behavior, allegedly leading Nicks to declare she wouldn't perform with the group if Buckingham was involved. He wound up being replaced in future shows.
The drama resulted in Buckingham suing them for wrongful termination, but they all settled out of court.
Are Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks Making New Music Together?
Lindsey Buckingham hinted at a new project with ex Stevie Nicks.
However, the two have since mended ties, and last year, they re-released a joint album.
"I think on a more general level, just the energy in terms of what Buckingham Nicks did to sort of create a resurgence of connection between Stevie and myself, I think on a larger scale, that seems to be something that’s in the air," he shared on social media in March. "And what that translates to specifically, I wouldn’t want to speculate yet. But I believe with all my heart, it will translate to something good, and something wonderful, and something needed and something extremely appropriate."
Fans of the duo were excited over the possible reunion, with one commenting on social media, "It's the right thing to do," while another penned, "Sweet."
On the other hand, some questioned if a collaboration would just be a money grab.
