One of the most stunning musical developments in 2018 was Fleetwood Mac’s decision to fire their longtime guitarist and singer Lindsey Buckingham and hit the arena circuit without him. In explaining this decision, his onetime paramour Stevie Nicks told Rolling Stone that, “We were supposed to go into rehearsal in June and he wanted to put it off until November [2019].” Now of course, we know why Buckingham wanted to wait a bit.
Today, the guitarist announced plans to roll out a new greatest hits package titled Solo Anthology as well as a full slate of solo tour dates throughout North America. As it happens, many of the shows conflict with Fleetwood Mac’s upcoming run, which certainly had to be a sticking point for all parties involved.
Solo Anthology: The Best of Lindsey Buckingham is set to drop on October 5 via Rhino Records. Tickets for Buckingham’s North American tour go on sale Saturday, August 18 and can be purchased though his official website. Check out the full slate of dates below.
