'Īs we previously reported, Buckingham has said that band founder Mick Fleetwood is clearly burning his own candle for Buckingham's return to the group for a last hurrah. That became the duet album that Christine and I did. And we were still hoping to make that a Fleetwood Mac album, and Stevie wouldn’t do it. Christine had a bunch of song ideas and I helped her with those, and we eventually went in the studio and cut those.

That would be the proper way to go.'Įlsewhere in the interview Buckingham is pretty forthcoming about the past issues in the band's ranks that led to his departure.
