Fans of classic rock and Fleetwood Mac have a big reason to get excited—Lindsey Buckingham has officially teased a brand-new solo album, his first in five years. At 76 years old, the legendary guitarist and songwriter is proving that creativity truly has no age limit.
Buckingham posted a short video on his social media this week, talking directly to fans about the upcoming project. Although he didn’t reveal the album title or release date just yet, what he did share made the announcement even more meaningful. According to Lindsey, this new record represents “the culmination of everything I’ve learned from making solo albums over the last 25 years.”
For longtime listeners, that’s a powerful statement. Buckingham’s solo career has always allowed him to explore sounds and ideas beyond the Fleetwood Mac world. His last album came out in 2021, and since then, fans have been waiting to see what musical direction he would take next. Now, it sounds like he has poured decades of experience, reflection, and artistic growth into this new work.
One of the most interesting parts of this story is who Buckingham has been spending time with in the studio. Earlier this year, producer Carl Falk shared photos of Lindsey working alongside Mick Fleetwood, Fleetwood Mac’s drummer and co-founder. This unexpected reunion has sparked excitement across the fanbase. While the two aren’t recording a new Fleetwood Mac album, Lindsey is helping Mick with his own upcoming solo project, adding guitar and vocals. Falk described the moment as “slightly unreal,” especially seeing Lindsey’s genuine happiness to support Mick’s album.
Even though Fleetwood Mac is no longer active—Mick Fleetwood said in 2023 that the band is “done” following the passing of Christine McVie—the creative bond between band members clearly isn’t gone. Seeing Mick and Lindsey in a studio again feels like a comforting reminder of their long musical history, even if it doesn’t mean a full band comeback.
There are also hints of other artists joining Mick Fleetwood’s album. Falk revealed that Adam Granduciel, frontman of The War on Drugs and producer of Sam Fender’s Mercury Prize–winning album, is also involved. This mix of classic rock icons and modern talent could lead to something very special, and Lindsey’s involvement only boosts the excitement.
As for Buckingham’s own album, he says it reflects a personal and ethical line he has stayed true to for many years. That makes it sound like this record will carry more depth and emotional weight—maybe even a sense of closure or reflection. Buckingham’s solo music has often explored more experimental and introspective territory than his Fleetwood Mac work, so fans might expect a blend of familiar guitar-driven songwriting and fresh artistic ideas.
For now, we wait for more details. There’s no official release date, no song list, and no album name yet. But knowing that Lindsey Buckingham feels this strongly about the project makes the anticipation even sweeter.
What’s clear is this: even after decades in the music world, Lindsey Buckingham is still growing, still creating, and still surprising us. And for fans of Fleetwood Mac and classic rock in general, this upcoming album is something truly worth looking forward to.
