Not seen another thread on this, but apparently Lindsay Buckingham has been sacked and replaced by Neil Finn and Mike Campbell from Tom Petty Band https://www.google.co.uk/amp/variet...dsey-buckinghams-replacements-1202748185/amp/

Not a fan myself, LB seemed to be the focus for the band.

Lindsay is important to the band and a Mac obsessive friend of mine is devoted by this news. That said he is a law unto himself and them having a row is totally believable as this is a band seemingly incapable of acting like grown ups so maybe cutting their losses with the hassle seemed worth it. As long as Christine and Stevie are both doing the tour it will be worth it. Finn and Campbell are fine musicians and will be fine.

Shame, but Buckingham's a great solo artist.

It's not really Fleetwood mac without Buckingham, is it.

Well, it is....but it's not....if you know what I mean

Mike Campbell is probably the most competent guitarist within the limitations of a rock band that I've ever seen.

The clue is in the names - Fleetwood and Mac. They were Fleetwood Mac long before Buckingham came along, and they will doubtless re-invent themselves now he's gone. Being who they are, of course, they will have the pick of top replacements to choose from.

How come this was allowed when it's outside the transfer window? Wasn't he registered with anyone else? Not that it'll make much difference as Fleetwood are mid-table and probably won't make the play-offs

Is anyone really bothered, they have not released a new album for 15 years, and are basically just a heritage band morphing into a tribute band.

No doubt by bringing Finn and Campbell in, will see more paydays from an American stadium tour.

Mac have been going so long with only Mick Fleetwood as the ever present that I guess many don't realise that Buckingham was a relative newcomer.

McVie joined in 1967, only a few weeks after Fleetwood.
