Lindsey Buckingham has claimed Stevie Nicks is still in love with him.
The 71-year-old guitarist has previously suggested he was fired from Fleetwood Mac in 2018 after Nicks, 73, gave the rest of the band an ultimatum when he asked to delay an upcoming tour to promote his solo music
- allegations she has always denied - and now he's convinced she never actually got over him after their relationship hit the rocks while they were promoting their album Rumours in 1976 following four years of dating.
Speaking to The Times newspaper, Buckingham said: "There were a number of years where I wasn't over her. It is possible that she has never been completely over me either.
"The way we had to get through Rumours is part of the legacy and heroics of the whole thing. We didn't have time to heal or move on in the traditional sense. I think — and she was the one who moved away from me back then — that we both had to compartmentalise our feelings. That is not a healthy thing to do because those little compartments can remain sealed up for years until things start seeping out when you don't realise.
"I met the love of my life late and that gave me a whole other take on the world. Stevie did not have children. She went down a different route and has placed more importance on her professional life.
