Former Fleetwood Mac member Lindsey Buckingham is packing up his v-neck t-shirts and hitting the road in October for a North American tour. The trek kicks off just days after the Mac start their own North American tour. When discussing Buckingham’s ouster with Billboard last week, drummer Mick Fleetwood touched on the fact that Buckingham and Fleetwood Mac were playing shows at the same time.
“We all wish him well and all the rest of it. In truthful language, we just weren’t happy,” Fleetwood told Billboard. “And I’ll leave it at that in terms of the dynamic. And he’s going out on the road more or less the same time I think — not in the same places, I hope (laughs).”
Fleetwood Mac enlisted Neil Finn (Crowded House) and Mike Campbell (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) to replace Buckingham during live shows following the singer-songwriter’s departure in April.
In addition to his tour, Buckingham announced Solo Anthology – The Best of Lindsey Buckingham, a career-spanning compilation that also features two new songs: “Hunger” and “Ride This Road.” The collection comes out as a 3-CD set on October 5 and a 6-record vinyl collection on November 23. Fans also have the option of purchasing an abridged single disc version of the release. The compilation can be pre-ordered here.
